Focus and fitness accountability for iPhone
Make Hay
Move more. Scroll less.
Block the apps you choose until you finish the daily movement goals you set. Make Hay turns access to distractions into a fair trade for real-world effort.

- On-device
- Goals are evaluated locally.
- No ads
- No tracking SDKs or ad networks.
The basic idea
A simple contract with yourself.
Make Hay helps you choose the apps most likely to steal your attention, then keeps them out of reach until your movement goal is met. It is strict enough to help, clear enough to trust, and designed to keep the day moving.
How it works
Fitness first. Feeds later.
Choose distractions
Select the apps or categories that pull you away from the day you meant to have.
Earn access
Make Hay checks progress and unlocks your chosen apps when the goal is complete.
Built for trust
No shame. No feeds. No data business.
Make Hay is designed as a personal self-control tool, not a surveillance tool. It uses Apple Health and Screen Time permissions only for the jobs you ask it to do.
- Read-only Apple Health access for movement progress.
- User-selected app blocking through Apple Screen Time APIs.
- Local settings and progress snapshots kept on your device.
- No third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or backend account service.
