Ditch : Dopamine Detox

Ditch is an app blocker that helps you cut screen time and stop doomscrolling — without locking you out of your phone. When you open a distracting app, Ditch steps in with a short pause screen at the exact moment the urge hits. You choose what happens next: • Resist — close the app and keep your XP • Allow for a few minutes — use it briefly, then Ditch checks in again • Override — a short cooldown gives you time to think before you give in • Take a day off — pause blocking without losing your progress Every pause is a small moment of self-control. Over time, those moments add up to less screen time and fewer impulse checks. WHY AN APP BLOCKER WITH A PAUSE WORKS Hard blockers get switched off. Ditch uses a gentle interruption instead: it breaks the automatic habit loop of reaching for social media, short videos or games, and asks you to make a deliberate choice. It's a dopamine detox you can actually stick with.
