TollHow it works
How Toll works
Plan tasks, clear them for tokens, and pay those tokens for time in the apps you chose to limit.
How it works
Plan a few things worth doing. Clear them. Pay to scroll.
Four rules, and the whole economy follows from them.
Plan before 11:00
Write down a few tasks and pick how each one will be proven. A task added before 11:00 can be cleared straight away; one added later waits 30 minutes first, so the list cannot be written to order a session.
Payout per task 5 to 30 tokens
Clear them, they pay out
Mark a task done and its tokens land in your balance.
Daily ceiling 90 tokens
Pay the quote to open an app
The barrier quotes a price for the minutes you want. Pay it, the app opens.
Base rate 1 token per minute
Tokens expire at 03:00
Yesterday’s discipline does not fund today’s scrolling.
Carry-over none
Four ways to prove it
The harder it is to fake, the more it pays.
Stated
Say it happened. Toll takes your word.
Photo
Attach a photo. It stays on your phone.
Timed
Run a timer while you work. It runs on the clock, so leaving the app will not pause it.
Measured
Let Health confirm steps, a workout, mindful minutes or stand hours.
Not a blocker
You can always get through. You just pay first.
Not a streak
No leaderboard, no chain to protect, no praise, no shame.
Not a service
No account, no server. Your tasks, photos and app list stay on your phone.
The ledger
Every token earned, spent and expired is written down.
With the time and the reason. Nothing is hidden behind a score. On Sunday it adds up into a receipt you can share: what the week cost, and what paid for it.
Questions
Before you install.
Can I just switch it off when I want to scroll?
You can always get through, by paying tokens you earned or with your weekly free pass. Revoking Screen Time access in Settings removes the barrier entirely. It is a tool for you, not a lock someone else holds.
Is this a parental control app?
No. Toll works only on the phone it is installed on, for the person holding it. No remote setup, no second account.
Can I buy tokens with money?
No. Tokens are earned only by clearing tasks. Premium changes the limits, never the balance.
What happens to my data if I delete the app?
It is gone. There is no account and no server copy.
