Most blockers punish you — you hit a wall, feel guilty, and switch them off. Gemify inverts the loop: Instagram, X and YouTube stay quietly closed by default, and focused work is the only thing that opens them. Run a timer (5/25/50/90 min) to earn gems, then spend them to unlock — 1 gem buys 1 minute, and the door closes itself when time runs out. Gems can never be bought with money. Every gem is proof of focused time. Chrome extension + iPhone app, one shared balance.
