Hi Product Hunt — I'm Jeff Halevy, and I built Yellow.
I'm a three-time exited founder in wellness and AI, a former TODAY Show correspondent, and the host of Workout From Within. I'd catch myself opening apps without deciding to, especially while I was hanging out with my kids. I was a fan of Brick and even thought about buying a dumbphone, but I still needed Uber and Maps (and Spotify and others I didn't want to part with — not to mention Apple Pay). I didn't want a worse phone. I wanted a second to decide before I opened the apps I open on autopilot.
So I built Yellow: the dumbphone alternative for people who need their iPhone. It puts a quick math problem in front of the apps you pick. Solve it and the app opens for 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes, then locks again on its own. Everything else — Maps, rides, music, Apple Pay — works like always. It's a self-control tool, not a lock you can't undo — you can switch it off in iOS Settings. iPhone only, iOS 17 or later.
Pricing: 7-day trial, then $29.99/yr or $5.99/mo.
I'd love feedback on the unlock windows and the Yellow Score. I'll be here all day.
