Description
Your apps are held hostage. Glosso holds the keys. Feed him few minutes of words in 9 languages. He grows. Instagram unlocks. You earned it.
WHO IS GLOSSO?
Glosso is a small creature who lives on your phone and eats words for a living. He owns a cowboy hat. Sometimes a crown. He has moods. He has a pantry. He has a strong opinion about how much you scroll.
HOW IT WORKS
1. You pick the apps Glosso guards: Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit, whatever is eating your day.
2. You tap one of them. iOS Screen Time hands the keys to Glosso.
3. Glosso makes you match words in the language you're learning,from 1 to 15 minutes, English paired to Japanese, French paired to Korean, your call.
4. You finish. Your apps open. Glosso eats. The word goes in his pantry.
5. Repeat tomorrow. He grows: baby, teen, adult, legend.
WHY IT WORKS
Other blockers fight you. You uninstall them by Friday. Glosso doesn't fight you he just won't open the door until you've done the thing. And the thing is fun. Word-matching is the only "productive" task your brain accepts when it is already begging for dopamine.
The trick: by the time you finish few minutes of vocabulary, the urge to scroll has quietly died. You either open Instagram and bounce, or you don't bother. Either way, the pantry got fuller.

What's new (v4.9)
Three UX improvements in this update:
• A notification warns you 1 minute before apps re-lock — finish whatever you're reading or typing in
peace.
• Flashcards are now flippable both ways (front ↔ back). Optimized display for long words on a single
line.
• General visual polish for a smoother experience.
