TaskGate

Design Your Digital Habits, One Pause at a Time

TaskGate helps you design healthier digital habits by adding a short, intentional pause before distracting apps open.

Instead of opening apps on autopilot, TaskGate introduces a simple task at the right moment—giving you space to slow down, reflect, and choose how you want to proceed.

This small design change transforms how you interact with your phone.

A Small Task Before You Continue

When you open a selected app, TaskGate redirects you to a short task before unlocking access.

These tasks are designed to be lightweight and intentional, such as:

• A focus or reflection prompt
• A quick intention check
• A short decision or awareness task
• Learning or habit-building micro tasks (via partners)

The goal is not to block you—but to help you pause and act consciously.

Tasks That Shape Better Digital Habits

TaskGate lets you choose tasks that support how you want to use your phone.

Tasks may help you:

• Pause and refocus
• Break impulsive behavior
• Reinforce intentional decisions
• Learn or reflect in small moments

Over time, these small pauses help you design healthier patterns of app usage.

More task types and partner integrations will be added as TaskGate grows.

A Thoughtful Alternative to App Blocking

TaskGate does not lock you out or restrict your freedom.

You can always continue—after completing a short, intentional action.

This design helps you:

• Increase awareness of your screen behavior
