Sixteen

Your Focus is worth Fighting for

Overview

What it is

Sixteen helps you block distractions—until you ship. It syncs with your Linear workspace and unlocks your screen only after you finish your tasks. Guilt-free scrolling starts after the deep work.

Intent

I need it when

Reduce excessive phone screentime and break mindless scrolling habits

Sixteen requires users to complete physical challenges (pushups, delays) or tasks before unlocking apps, creating intentional friction that breaks automatic scrolling loops and builds discipline around device usage.

Save screentime for later use when truly needed

The screentime bank feature allows users to accumulate unused minutes (up to 1 hour) for later use, providing flexibility while maintaining overall screentime reduction and preventing impulsive app access.

Combine physical fitness with digital wellness goals

Sixteen links app unlocks to physical exercises and workouts, allowing users to earn screentime through movement, simultaneously improving fitness and creating positive reinforcement for reducing device dependency.

Track productivity and maintain accountability for focus time

Pro features include streak tracking, detailed activity logs, Linear-based task challenges, and social accountability (share progress with friends), enabling users to monitor focus patterns and maintain commitment to digital discipline.

Build better sleep habits and reduce late-night phone usage

The app gamifies screentime control with emergency unlock keys (2 per week) and streak tracking, helping users establish boundaries around nighttime app access and rewire late-night scrolling routines into healthier sleep schedules.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User wants to completely block apps without any friction or challenge requirement
  • User needs cross-platform support beyond iOS (Android not mentioned as available)
  • User requires monthly billing flexibility instead of annual commitment
  • User wants passive screentime reduction without physical activity or task completion
  • User needs integration with project management tools other than Linear
