DopamineBudget | Screen Detox

Screen time down. Life time up. A simple pause changes everything. DopamineBudget adds a mindful pause between you and your distracting apps. Simple but powerful: a 5-second intervention breaks the autopilot habit loop. You stop opening apps unconsciously — and start choosing deliberately. Designed to rewire your habits permanently, not just block apps temporarily. 🤳 Balanced social media use App usage drops significantly when you add a moment of friction. Most users dismiss 70%+ of urges after just one week. 🧑‍💻 Productivity Reclaim hours every week not spent on social media — to work on your projects & to recharge! 🙏 Mental health High social media usage is often related to depression and anxiety. A simple pause breaks the cycle. ⚡️ ADHD relief The pause intervention creates a gap between impulse and action — exactly what ADHD brains need. 🛌 Sleep better Prevent scrolling mindlessly before bed and right after waking up with scheduled night profiles. 💰 Save money Prevent impulse purchases by pausing before opening shopping apps. With DopamineBudget, you'll notice both a short-term and long-term effect on your app usage: 1. Unconscious phone habits are prevented right away ("Why did I even want to open that app?") 2. Long-term habits change because these apps appear less appealing to your brain (their "dopamine on demand" effect fades away) FEATURES 🫁 Focus Intervention A calming 5-second pause appears before any blocked app opens. Fully automated. 👤 Focus Profiles Different rules for different times. Work profile blocks socials. Night profile blocks everything. Auto-schedule by time & day of week. 🎯 Daily Budget Set a max number of bypasses per day. When your budget runs out, you simply can't open the app. Resets daily. 📊 Dashboard & Streaks Track your resist rate, per-app breakdown, 7-day trends, current streak, and estimated time saved. ⏱️ Session Timer After bypassing, a notification counts how long you've been scrolling. Awareness is everything. 📱 Home Screen Widget See today's resist rate without opening the app. 💬 Custom Intent Message Set a personal message on every overlay — "Is this worth your time?" 🔔 Daily Summary Evening notification with your stats and encouragement.
