About TaskGate
A short task before distracting apps open
TaskGate puts a short task between you and the apps you open without thinking. Before a social app or a game opens, you take a breath, move, drink some water or smile. Then you decide: put the phone down, or go on to the app. How it works: Choose the apps you want to slow down. When you open one, TaskGate shows a short task first. Finish the task, then tap Focus to put the phone down, or Open to go on to the app. Tasks include breathing, quick meditation, neck and shoulder exercises, a posture check, eye rest, a water break, a quick walk and affirmations. Gate Buddy, TaskGate's mascot, appears in each one. Schedules set the hours an app needs a task, like work time or evenings. An open limit caps how many times an app can open per day, week or month. The Usage screen charts screen time, time saved and tasks by day, week, month and year, with time per app. There's no account to make, and TaskGate doesn't read your messages or what's on screen in other apps. Available on iPhone (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6755723338) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tkg.taskgate).
