Hey HN,

I'm a solo developer from Nigeria. I built Quran Unlock - an app that blocks distracting apps (TikTok, Instagram, etc.) until you complete your daily Quran reading.

The idea came from my own struggle with phone addiction. I wanted to read Quran daily but kept getting distracted. So I built this for myself, then shared it.

Some stats after 2 months: - 123K+ users - 64.9% returning user rate - 31M events tracked

Tech stack: - React Native - Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Analytics, Cloud Messaging) - RevenueCat for subscriptions - iOS Screen Time API + Android UsageStats

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/quran-unlock/id6754449406

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.quranu...

Would love feedback from the HN community!
