BeatSocialFriction beats willpower
Nobody loses to their phone for lack of discipline. These apps are built by very large teams to be hard to put down. So we don’t ask you to try harder. We put something real in the way.
We built this because “just delete the app” doesn’t work
You’ve deleted Instagram before. You’ve probably reinstalled it too. BeatSocial exists for that moment, when you’ve already decided what you want and your thumb hasn’t heard yet.
This is Beatso. It’s on your side, even when it looks annoyed with you.
Principles
What we believe
Other people work better than timers
Ignoring a timer you set yourself takes one tap. Asking a friend for the code to open Instagram at midnight takes a lot more than that. That’s why a friend holding the passcode is at the centre of the app.
Effort should show up somewhere
An hour you didn’t waste leaves no trace. Coins, streaks and a map of your days give that hour somewhere to land, especially early on, before the habit has formed.
You should never have to do the maths
The app shows what a commitment will earn while you build it. The rules are simple on purpose, and spending your coins never costs you a place on the leaderboard.
How we run it
- Free at the core. Blocking, streaks and coins cost nothing. Premium is for the strictest protections.
- No ad SDKs. The app contains no advertising, and we don’t sell your data.
- Easy to leave. You can delete your account from inside the app, and your data goes with it.
