DETAILS
WHAT IT IS
HOW IT WORKS
01
Place your beacon
Set HoneyBeacon where you want presence: the kitchen table, desk, or bedside. Then calibrate the zone to fit that space.
02
Meet the session rule
Stay near your HoneyBeacon, enter a scheduled window, or come near a paired Bee Together partner.
03
Keep permitted apps
Shields block the distracting apps you selected. Permitted apps stay available. Completed eligible time earns Honey.
Core is free and includes HoneyBeacon, Always On, and Schedule Only. The Hive adds Worker Bee, Bedtime, and Bee Together.
HoneyBeacon Mode. Block distracting apps near your HoneyBeacon during scheduled windows or in Always On mode.
You can turn on as many modes as you like. Worker Bee, Bedtime, and Bee Together are part of The Hive, and Bee Together simply pairs two phones over Bluetooth, so no extra device is needed.

GO DEEPER
The iPhone app
Control how each session works.
Schedules, permitted apps, Quick Sessions, and temporary Flights give you practical control without promising a permanent lock.
Schedules
Create weekly repeating windows or one-off sessions. Tag each window to a mode and choose whether it earns Honey.
Quick Sessions
Start 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes from Home or the widget. Choose shields while near HoneyBeacon, or keep them on for the full timer. Bee Together offers separate 1 or 2 hour sessions for Hive members.
Permitted apps
Choose what stays available while shields are active. Home, Worker Bee, Bedtime, Bee Together, and Schedule Only can use separate lists. Empty non-Home lists reuse Home.
Lockdown
Add friction to schedule changes and expanding permitted apps, including a 7-day standdown. Lockdown does not make the app undeletable.
Flights
Temporarily pause shields without ending the session. Core includes 3 Flights per month. The Hive supports up to 10. Flight time does not earn Honey and can affect streak credit.
Live Activity and widget
See the active session timer and Honey on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Use the home-screen widget to open the app and start a Quick Session.
Greyscale & Focus
Optionally fade your screen to greyscale or trigger a Focus when you are near your HoneyBeacon, set up with a quick iOS Shortcut.
The app during a session.
See the current session, decide how your reward works, and keep track of Honey and Rank in the app.
