Use Cases

Works wherever
focus matters.

Actually finish your work

Sit down and your phone locks itself. No more fighting the urge to check. Your best hours finally go to what matters.

Study like you mean it

TikTok and Instagram disappear the moment you open your textbook. Your grades will thank you.

Put the phone down. For real.

Your kids don't care about your screen time reports. They care if you're there. Propellon makes sure you are.

Be where you are

A walk, a dinner, a conversation. Propellon keeps the scroll away so you can actually experience your life.

Features

Built different.
On purpose.

Unbypassable

No override. No workaround. No button.

There is no "Ignore Limit." No grace period. No override code. Your apps stay blocked until you physically leave the zone — the only unlock is your own two feet.

The only solution with no off switch.

Offline-first

No WiFi. No account. No cloud.

Everything runs on your device over Bluetooth Low Energy. No login, no sync, no internet required. It works on a plane, in a basement, in a dead zone. Always.

Your data never leaves your phone.

One-time purchase

Buy the beacon. The app is free. Forever.

One beacon, one purchase. Download the app for free on the App Store. No monthly fees, no tiers, no upsells, no surprise charges. You own it.

Your location is the trigger.

Not a timer. Not a button. Not willpower. The moment you sit in range, your apps lock. The moment you leave, they unlock. You never decide — it just happens.

One setup. Works forever.

Place it on your desk, plug it in, set your radius. That's the last time you'll touch it. It broadcasts 24/7 — no Wi-Fi, no cloud, no maintenance.

Nothing to cheat.

Screen Time has an 'Ignore Limit' button. Brick needs a manual tap. Propellon's only unlock is your own two feet walking out the door. Your future self can't undo it.

What our users say

Real people. Real focus. Real results.

Every other app blocker I tried relied on me remembering to turn it on. I never did. The proximity thing is genius because my desk decides for me. I sit down, apps lock. That's it. No other solution actually works like this.

I tried Freedom, I tried Opal, I tried deleting apps. All useless because I'd just turn them off or reinstall. This is different. The physical boundary makes it impossible to cheat. It's the only thing that's actually stopped me.
Marcus Chen
Screen Time limits are a joke. You just click 'ignore limit' and keep scrolling. This doesn't give you that option. When you're at your desk, the apps are locked. Period. Nothing else comes close to this.
