## What is BrainSober?

Stop doomscrolling. Block Reels, Shorts and endless feeds, and earn your screen time back in real life.

BrainSober turns your phone time into Brain Energy. Every scroll drains it. A walk, a book or a workout recharges it. Meet Brio, your little brain buddy, who thrives when you scroll less.

Try BrainSober Pro free for 7 days.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps that pull you in. Apple's private Screen Time picker means we never see which ones.
• Choose your commitment: Light, Committed or Locked in.
• Your Brain Energy shows how many free minutes you have left today. When it runs out, your apps pause.
• Need an app anyway? Unlock it on purpose for a few minutes for a little energy.
• Set focus hours, like your evenings, to keep apps locked when it matters most.

EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME BACK
Take a walk, read offline, move your body, tidy your space or start a focus session. Snap a photo as proof and Brio checks it right on your iPhone. Every real-life quest restores Brain Energy.

MEET BRIO
Brio reacts to your Brain Energy: full of life when you're doing well, worn out when you scroll too much. Keep your streak going to open chests and collect new Brios.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account needed
• We never see which apps you choose
• Proof photos are checked on your iPhone and never uploaded
• Your plan and activity history stay on your iPhone
