The Logical Alternative to Forest.
Why elite developers are switching from gamified distractions to Mindful Guard's system-level discipline.

Philosophy
The Legacy Way
Using a 'game' to stop phone use is counter-intuitive.
Constant background sync drains device resources.
Features optimized for retention, not productivity.
The AppLass Way
Intentional friction switches brain to System 2 thinking.
Native C++ implementation for zero battery lag.
Absolute focus sessions with no 'exit' logic.
SEO Impact
Faster load times and clean semantic HTML lead to better Google rankings and higher organic visibility.
Conversion Impact
Higher accessibility (WCAG 2.1) means your logic doesn't exclude 20% of the world's population.
Integrity First
Your data stays yours. Zero-telemetry architecture means we never log personal identifiers.
"Mindful Guard is the first app that actually works. It doesn't ask me to be better; it forces me to be logical."
