Out of our first 13 App Store users who finished setting up Reclaim, only 4 turned on Fortress, the part that blocks distracting apps at night. Even the wake alarm got 7. And one of our testers went as far as uninstalling Reclaim, just to get past the block screen.
If you're new here, this is how Reclaim started and how we got to this point.
Have you ever deleted an app you installed to help yourself? What would have made you keep it?

Reclaim started with us thinking we're good at putting people to sleep. We were even thinking of having a business where people could come over just to fall asleep.

It's not just them though. 3 of the 7 testers we've heard from removed Fortress, and we've even turned it off ourselves to keep working or scrolling. The feature closest to the problem is the one we keep avoiding.
And this is when we started working on a course, which aims to change how we relate to sleep, rest, work, and life itself. It's not in the App Store version of Reclaim yet, as we're still building it.

Rather than treating sleep as something welcomed, something pleasant, we often treat it as a commodity, something to trade for more time to work, for money, fame, or entertainment. Most of us have forgotten how to allow ourselves to enjoy sleep.
I’m building Reclaim because “a few minutes on Reddit before bed” keeps turning into two hours.
Tools to block bedtime distractions and wind down. Looking for people to try the iPhone beta.
