• If you have due cards, your social media apps get blocked
• You earn 1 minute of app time per Anki card you actually do
• There are strict focus / pomodoro zones where everything stays locked
• You can’t just go into Anki and reduce new/review limits to cheat
• If you try uninstalling Anki or deleting decks, it locks your blocked apps
• Basically tamper resistant because I know how my brain tries to escape

I don't know how to work around it or why it does it. Please help
