How to get started
Three ways to start.
Choose a Reto
Pick from curated challenges for studying, sleep, deep work, or social media detox. Everything is already set up — just invite a friend.
Custom Challenge
Build from scratch. Name it, pick the apps, set the duration, choose your stake, and invite your opponent or group.
Focus Session
No stake, no opponent. Block distracting apps for a set amount of time and focus solo. Great for study, work, and sleep.
Choose a Reto and Custom Challenge are competitive — you can play 1v1, in a group, or against the app. Focus Sessions are solo with no stake and no opponent.
Challenge modes
Challenge friends, groups, or the app.
1v1 Challenges
Challenge one friend head-to-head. First person to open a blocked app loses. If both of you make it to the end, both get your points back.
Group Challenges
Create challenges with up to 5 people. Everyone stakes points and competes to stay off their blocked apps. If everyone succeeds, everyone gets their points back.
Challenge the App
No friend available? Challenge Reto itself. Reto acts as your opponent — and it never loses. Put points on the line and see if you can outlast the app.
Points & stakes
Put points on the line.
Reto uses points to make challenges feel real. When you stake points on a challenge, you have real skin in the game — which is exactly what makes it work.
Flexible stake amounts
Stake as few as 5 points or go higher for harder challenges. You set the number.
Clear outcomes
Open a blocked app and you lose — the other player wins your staked points. If everyone completes the challenge, everyone gets their points back.
Withdraw to PayPal or Venmo
Eligible points can be withdrawn directly to your PayPal or Venmo account.
Everything else
Built to keep you honest.
Block the apps that pull you in
Choose specific apps for each challenge. Block social media, entertainment, shopping, games — anything that distracts you. Stay focused without deleting apps permanently.
Built around friends
Add friends, quickly re-challenge people you've competed with, and sync contacts to find people you already know. Invite them to a challenge in seconds.
Designed to keep challenges fair
Reto detects app deletion and Screen Time permission changes during active challenges — the two most common ways people try to get around a block.
How it works
Five steps.
Create or choose a challenge
Start with a premade Reto, build a Custom Challenge from scratch, or begin a solo Focus Session.
Choose apps and stakes
Pick the apps to block, set the duration, and decide how many points to stake. Focus Sessions have no stake.
Invite friends or challenge the app
Invite one friend, build a group with up to 5 people, or go head-to-head against the app itself.
Stay off blocked apps
Once the challenge starts, Reto blocks the selected apps and tracks the challenge automatically.
Win, lose, or get your points back
Open a blocked app and you lose. Make it to the end and everyone who completed the challenge gets their points back.
