How it works
Your apps wait while you go do something real.
Mission Lock keeps the apps you choose closed until you finish one mission and save its proof.
Pick the apps
Choose the apps that pull you in with Apple’s private Screen Time picker. Your selection stays on your iPhone.
Get one mission
Three taps for a mission matched to your mood and time. Adjust budget, distance or who’s coming if you like, and reroll up to 3 times.
Go do it
Accept it and your apps stay locked. Starting the clock, waiting or opening the proof screen won’t unlock them.
Add proof
A photo, a location check-in or a journal note, as the mission asks.
Apps unlock
Save the finished mission with its proof and your apps open again. Your journal keeps the receipt.
Mission Lock is optional and needs a supported iPhone. Nothing is blocked until you allow Screen Time and pick apps. In the app, Settings > Mission Lock > Turn off & unblock apps works at any time, with or without a subscription.
Finish to scroll
Your apps unlock when the mission is done.
Before mission one
Your first week, planned
Answer a few quick questions about your evenings, your screen time and who you do things with. Sid builds a first week of 5 to 7 real missions.
New in 2.0
Your story with Sid
Your missions now build chapters. Finish one, play its finale when you want, and earn a keepsake.
You showed up
Each mission moves your story forward.
Play the finale
Finish a chapter, then play its finale.
A keepsake per chapter
Every finale leaves you something to keep.
Sid’s collection
Keepsakes and milestones on one shelf.
Chapters
Start with First Steps: 3 different missions, any kind. Then pick your next chapter, Wander Season or Small Brave Things.
A finale you play when ready
Finishing a chapter unlocks its finale. It never plays itself: you accept it like a mission and add proof when you’re ready.
Keepsakes
Each finale earns a keepsake for Sid’s collection. The first is Sid’s Field Map, with one pin for every mission in your first chapter.
Milestones
Stamps at 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 completed missions. Your past missions already count.
Yours to keep
Progress never resets and stays on your phone.
Updating from 1.5?
SideMission 2.0 is rebuilt for iPhone, with a new look and Sid moving through the app. Your journal, photos, plan and subscription carry over.

The app’s matching engine runs in your browser, on the same 250 missions.

Your scrolling can be useful
Share a TikTok or any link to SideMission. Give it two clues, what it is and roughly where, and it joins your deck as a mission.
Life stats
Life adds up
Your journal keeps the receipts. Life stats estimate the time you took back from completed missions, with active days, streaks and a monthly recap.
A NOTE FROM DAVID
We sent Reels instead of making plans.
That quiet shift is why I built SideMission: not another place to scroll, but a reason to go live something.
“Your time is yours. Go earn it back.”

The anti-features
What SideMission refuses to be.
- No feed. No infinite scroll.
- No account required. Missions stay on your device; optional analytics require consent.
- No XP, no leaderboards, no guilt loops.
- No ads. Ever.
- Not a fitness tracker. No pace, no calories.
- No marketplace. Missions, never gigs.
For iPhone
