## What is Detoxly?

Cut your screen time by 30% — without willpower battles.

Pick up your phone for a "quick check" and lose 20 minutes? You're not weak — you're in the Scrolling Trance. The feed pulled you in. Rational mind offline. Algorithm on autopilot.

Detoxly is the AI-powered screen time blocker, app blocker, and distraction blocker that breaks the loop. It intercepts impulsive opens, interrupts doomscrolling on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Facebook, and Snapchat — and hands control back to your rational mind.

Don't just block apps. Break the compulsion.

HOW IT WORKS: ADAPTIVE FRICTION
Hard blocks create resistance, frustration, and workarounds. Detoxly works with your brain — a "conscious pause" at the exact moments that matter:

Reality Checks That Know Why You're Scrolling
The Comparison Trap on Instagram. The Slot Machine Effect on dating apps. Brain Rot from TikTok and Shorts. Detoxly matches the intervention to the exact loop pulling you in.

Cortex AI™ — Learns Your Weak Moments
On-device AI learns when you're most vulnerable and surfaces grounded reminders shaped by your own patterns. Cortex AI Pro reasons deeper: sharper Reality Checks in the moment, generated fresh by Apple Intelligence on supported devices, plus weekly Insight cards.

Detoxly Score — Your Digital Wellbeing, Daily
A single composite score for compulsion, sleep, and recovery. The 8-week trend shows whether you're winning or drifting.

Web Filter — Beyond App Blocking
Block adult content and 50 hand-picked distracting domains system-wide. Works across Safari and any browser that respects iOS content filtering.

Daily Limits & Quiet Hours
Per-app daily time budgets, sleep window (23:00–06:00 by default), and adaptive cooldowns that stretch when you snooze too many times in a row.

Live Activity Countdown
When the shield is open after a snooze, a Live Activity surfaces the cooldown on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — so you always know how long you have before the shield returns.

WHO DETOXLY IS FOR
• Anyone tired of doomscrolling Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts
• Students and remote workers chasing focus and deep work
• Adults serious about digital detox, dopamine detox, and phone addiction recovery
• Minimalists who want intentional phone use without giving up the hardware

WHY DETOXLY?
• AI-Personalized: Reality Checks adapt to your patterns
• Psychological Precision: Tuned for Social, Dating, Games, Shorts
• 100% Private: Fully on-device — nothing leaves your phone
• Free to start: Adaptive Friction works on up to 3 apps for free; Cortex AI Pro unlocks unlimited apps, sharper Reality Checks, and weekly Insights

PRIVACY: ON-DEVICE BY DESIGN
Detoxly uses Apple's Family Controls framework to shield the apps you choose. Your app selection is opaque to Detoxly — Apple itself mediates access, and the underlying app identifiers never leave your phone. All Reality Check personalization, behavioral intelligence, and Cortex AI processing runs on-device. No analytics, no tracking, no cloud.

Engineered in Zurich. Swiss privacy standards.

Your brain is on autopilot. Time to wake up.
