Mom Clock

Strict alarms + app blocking that force you to do the thing.

Most productivity apps beg you to “stay motivated.” That’s the wrong fight. Mom Clock solves procrastination by turning your phone into a rule-enforcer: strict alarms, distraction blocking, and routines that push you into action.

Willpower is a scam.

You can buy the cleanest planner on Earth, stack ten habit books on your nightstand, and still doomscroll until 2 a.m. The problem isn’t your goals. It’s that your phone always wins.

Mom Clock (momclock.com) ships with a blunt message: “Mom said it’s time. You don’t get to argue”. And it backs that up with enforcement, not vibes.

Today the app is positioning itself as a discipline-first productivity tool built for people who keep breaking promises to themselves - night owls, low self-control types, and anyone who knows the “I’ll start tomorrow” loop by heart.

Here’s the deal: Mom Clock doesn’t try to cheerlead you into action. It sets rules.

Strict alarms pull you out of autopilot.

App blocking cuts off the usual escape hatches when the task gets boring and your thumb starts hunting for social apps.

Routine structure turns “I should” into “I do”. because the next step sits on the calendar with teeth.

It gets worse for your distractions: the whole point is forced execution. If you’re the kind of person who can talk yourself out of anything, Mom Clock aims to remove the debate.

The tone is part of the product.

The “mom-like” framing works because it mirrors what most of us actually need when we stall: a clear command, a clear next action, and fewer choices. No pep talks. No endless settings maze. Just friction where you tend to slip.

But there’s a catch.

If you want a soft app that pats you on the head for making a list, you’ll hate this. Mom Clock is for people who want a phone that says “enough” and means it.

Procrastination thrives on options.

Mom Clock tries to remove them.
