Decree Key – Block Apps, Speak to Unlock

Summary: Decree Key is an app blocker that requires users to speak a biblical declaration aloud to unlock blocked apps, using on-device speech recognition to enforce mindful app usage. It includes 24/7 blocking with Monk Mode, Focus Sessions tied to To-Do lists, and prioritizes privacy by processing voice data locally.

What it does

Decree Key blocks distracting apps and forces a pause by displaying a shield that can only be dismissed through verbal confirmation. It uses private, on-device speech recognition to verify spoken declarations, and offers continuous blocking and task-based Focus Sessions.

Who it's for

It is designed for users who struggle with unconscious app usage and want to regain control by introducing deliberate, mindful interruptions.

Why it matters

It addresses the failure of traditional app blockers by replacing passive blocks with an active verbal intervention that disrupts automatic, impulsive app openings.
