jigarjain··on Show HN: Scream to Unlock – Blocks social media until you scream “I'm a loser”
I imagine what the OP meant is that when you feel you are wasting time on Social Media, if you say "I am a winner / I am better than this" (or something more positive), it will block the social media for you. So basically the reverse.

> their free tier is really not that great.

Why do you think that their free tier is not great? AFAIK, it works like any other free tier email service but with encryption. Though it does have a limited storage space (which has increased recently). Anyone who would need more than that & has chosen to use PM probably also understands the cost of free products available & will be willing to get paid service

Disclaimer - I am a paid PM user (converted from free tier after using it for few years)

The first line says

Wasn't the case that Brian Acton had invested $50 million in Signal?

> Do Apple or Google get a cut of my contribution? - No.

Can someone please explain how come Google/Apple won't be taking a cut in this situation? Is it because they have a special deal with Signal?
