Willpower runs out. Timers get dismissed. Pryvo asks for one thing a scroll can't fake: a photo of the thing you actually did.

How it works

Four steps. No loopholes.

  1. 01

    Pick what you'd rather be doing less.

    Choose the apps that pull you in and how much time a task should earn. They stay locked until you earn it.

  2. 02

    Name a task a camera can see.

    "Clear my desk." "Fold the laundry." Write what the photo must show, and Pryvo holds you to exactly that standard.

  3. 03

    Do it. Then snap it, right then.

    Proof is one fresh photo from the camera. No gallery uploads, no old pictures, no screenshots.

  4. 04

    Get a verdict, with reasons.

    Accepted proof unlocks your time right away, and it only counts down while a chosen app is open. Rejected proof tells you why, so you can fix it or add context.

The standard

If the photo doesn't show it, it didn't happen.

Pryvo is strict but fair: it checks the photo against the standard you wrote, and every decision tells you exactly what passed and what didn't. Drag to see the difference.

Rejected
Cups, cables, and papers still on the desk.
Accepted
Desk clear, only essential items visible.
After: a clear desk with a closed laptop and a plant
Before: a cluttered desk with cups, papers and cables

Inside the app

A verdict you can actually read.

Pryvo screenshot: the task Clear my desk with proof accepted, three passing checks, and one hour of earned time for Instagram and TikTok
  • A

    Every check, spelled out

    Is the result in frame? Is it a fresh capture? Does it match your standard? You see each answer.

  • B

    Time that waits for you

    Earned time is paused until you open one of the apps you chose, so you never lose it to the clock.

  • C

    Your rules, in writing

    The standard, the schedule, and the reward are fixed when you create the task. No moving goalposts.

What we promise

Strict with your habits. Careful with you.

Fair

Rejected isn't the end.

If a decision feels wrong, add context to the same photo and ask for another look, up to three times. Reasons come first, always.

Fresh

Camera only.

Proof is taken in the moment. Old photos and screenshots can't stand in for the real thing.

Narrow

Only what you pick.

You choose exactly which apps are locked and how long a task earns. Nothing else on your phone is touched.

Private

Photos don't stick around.

Proof photos are stored privately, never used for ads or facial recognition, and deleted automatically within days.

Honest

A commitment, not a cage.

You set it up and stay in charge. Device controls are voluntary and can be switched off. Pryvo just makes the easy way out less easy.

Questions

Good to know.

What counts as proof?

One fresh photo, taken in the app's camera, that clearly shows the finished task. Pick tasks a camera can see: a made bed, a clear sink, a packed bag, folded laundry.

Who decides if my proof is accepted?

An automated review compares your photo to the standard you wrote and gives a decision with reasons. It can be wrong, which is why you can add context to the same photo and ask it to reconsider.

What happens when my proof is accepted?

The time you attached to the task turns on by itself. It only counts down while one of your chosen apps is open, and the apps lock again when it runs out.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Pryvo uses Screen Time on iPhone and Accessibility on Android to lock the apps you choose, and it always asks before turning either on.

Is Pryvo free?

Yes, the full loop works on the free plan. Premium adds more apps per task, longer rewards, stricter review standards, routines, review voices, and a weekly report.

Earn back your time.

Your apps will still be there. Do the thing first.
