Scan before you Can
Florian Schimanke
Take back control of your phone — on your terms. Tired of mindlessly opening the same apps over and over? Scan before you Can helps you break the cycle. Choose which apps to restrict, then physically walk to your personal QR code to regain access. It's simple, effective, and puts you in charge. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your unique QR code inside the app 2. Print it and place it somewhere meaningful — your front door, your desk, the kitchen 3. When you're ready, tap to activate the restriction 4. To use your blocked apps again, get up and scan the code That's it. No complicated settings, no subscriptions, no willpower tricks. Just a real, physical barrier between you and your distractions. WHY IT WORKS Unlike timers or usage limits, this app requires movement. You can't bypass it from the couch — you have to get up and go. This small friction is enough to break automatic behavior and help you make intentional choices about your screen time. OPTIONAL AUTO-LOCK Set a daily schedule and let the app do the rest.
