How it works
You decide what to lock. Tap your phone on Tranca and keep the tag away from you.
1Choose what to lock
In the app, pick the apps that pull you in the most. The essentials — maps, calls, banking, 2FA — always stay open.
2Tap to lock
Tap your phone on the tag once. The apps you chose disappear instantly.
3Keep it away from you
Leave the tag in another room, in your bag or in the car. To unlock, just tap again.

One tag, many routines. You name them, pick the apps and switch profiles with a tap.

the screen-time goal we want to give back to you
no “ignore for today” when the tag is on the other side of the house
“−2h/day” is a project goal, not measured data. We’ll publish real usage numbers after launch.

Frequently asked
How does payment work?
The tag is a one-time purchase. The app has a free version to get you started and an optional Premium — with more profiles and features — for those who want more. Every tag comes with some Premium time included.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. On iOS we use the Screen Time API; on Android, the accessibility and administration APIs. The version requirements are made clear in the app before you buy.
What if I need maps or my bank?
They’re never blocked unless you ask. You decide exactly what goes into the lock, and the essentials are always at hand.
Can it be bypassed?
The whole point is to make it a hassle. Without the tag nearby there’s no “ignore limit” button, and strict mode stops you from deleting the app just to escape on impulse.
What if I lose the tag?
You can register more than one and we’ll replace it. Nobody stays locked out forever over a lost tag.
When does Tranca ship?
We’re in pre-order to gauge interest before producing the first batch. Join the list: you lock in 20% and get a heads-up as soon as it opens.
The urge to check the feed lasts a few seconds. Just long enough for it to pass.
