About the startup

Icarus locks distracting apps (IG, TikTok, etc.) behind a quiz built from your own notes. Get enough right and unlock the app! Screen-time blockers stop scrolling but don't make studying happen — you just sit there annoyed until you disable them. Icarus turns that moment into a study rep instead: active-recall questions from your material, spaced out over time so review happens automatically. Free for a week on the App Store!
