## Resource

Tired of scrolling? Meet the Autonomous Key — a $9 NFC gadget that turns app access into a physical challenge. Instead of just tapping to unlock, you gotta scan the key (stashed elsewhere, like at the gym), forcing real effort to break screen-time habits. Each unlock grants 60 minutes, then auto-blocks. The app even gives you AI-powered sass and habit insights — no subscriptions, works across phones. Minor hiccups: occasional scan lag, no backup if lost (yet). Beta, shipping now, in five colors.
