What it actually does
A blocker you can’t talk your way past.
Warden blocks the apps you choose and gives the only early unlock to one person you trust. When you want out before your own rules say so, you ask them, and it’s their call.

Keep social apps closed while you work.
Protect deep work, meetings, and deadline days with rules you cannot quietly cancel when concentration gets uncomfortable.
