About
Squirrel puts a price on the apps you open too much. Tap Instagram and you get a hard block, not a screen you can wave away. Want to check a DM? That's fine, but you have to open Squirrel, pick how long, and set aside a few dollars for yourself first. No money moves through the app. No card or bank account to connect. When you're ready, invest it in your own brokerage and tell Squirrel what you bought. It tracks your holdings with live prices.
AI Summary
Squirrel is an iOS app that blocks access to frequently used apps unless users allocate a specific amount of money for personal investment. It does not handle financial transactions directly but allows users to track their investments in a brokerage after setting aside funds.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
