Leave a physical token somewhere. Go back to it to change the rule.
OS-Level Technology Licensing
The Problem
Today, strong restrictions often mean sacrificing functionality, relying on another person, purchasing additional hardware or continually resetting temporary limits.
People shouldn't have to abandon the devices and ecosystems they depend on to exercise greater control over them.
The Solution
BittrByte develops SKYWALL, a patent-pending technology that lets people set strong digital boundaries on the devices they already know and love.
SKYWALL lets users set digital restrictions and choose when and where those restrictions can be changed or removed.
The method operates at the OS level, using capabilities already built into modern devices. It is designed for integration into existing operating systems, without additional physical hardware.
Real-world release
Block social media apps and make sure I can only change this restriction at the local library
People already pay for physical commitment tools such as Brick, which was recognised as one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2026.
Physical friction works because it makes restrictions tangible, using familiar real-world constraints.
SKYWALL brings that principle directly into the device. Instead of placing a physical token, users simply define a zone on a map.
Leave a physical token somewhere. Go back to it to change the rule.
Draw a zone on the map. Go there to change the rule. No extra object.
For device companies
Bring stronger digital control into your own ecosystem.
SKYWALL offers device manufacturers and operating-system providers a new way to differentiate their products through native self-control and parental-control features, without additional hardware or third-party services.
BittrByte is seeking intellectual-property licensing and technical integration partnerships.
Why now?
On-device AI is making it possible to restrict specific content without sacrificing entire apps or useful functionality.
The more precisely users can shape their digital experience, the more valuable it becomes to make those choices hold. That's where SKYWALL comes in.
BittrByte is a technology company developing systems for digital self-control and parental control.
At BittrByte, we envision a future in which our digital devices don't make self-control harder, but instead become some of the most powerful tools we have for exercising it.
We're starting with SKYWALL, a patent-pending technology that lets people set boundaries their devices uphold, even when they later want to break them.
“Hey SKYWALL, don't let me buy cigarettes or alcohol. Only let me change this at my mother's house.”
Founder & CEO
The most valuable things aren't found by people looking for them. They're found by people who can't live without them.
For years, I struggled with digital addiction. Walking away from technology gave me freedom, but it was never a practical long-term solution. In the modern world, digital technology is essential for work, education and everyday life.
When returning to the digital world became necessary to pursue my lifelong ambition of designing aircraft, I faced a choice between that dream and the freedom I had found.
Rather than give up either, I decided to build another way.
I ordered some computer components and began developing what would eventually become SKYWALL.
My mission now is to ensure that others who have suffered in silence do not have to choose between their freedom and their future.
