Earn your scroll time. Dance first. Standard screen time limits just make you feel guilty — you hit the wall, override it, and scroll anyway. Nothing changes. DhoomNacho works differently. Open Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and it intercepts with a 2-minute dance video. You move, you earn, you unlock — and the urge actually starts to fade instead of building up. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps that trigger your scrolling - Set a daily allowance of screen time - When you hit it, a dance break unlocks the next session - Can't skip — the timer runs, you dance, you're back in WHY IT WORKS - Reward, not punishment — your brain earns access instead of losing it - System-level enforcement — no easy override like standard blockers - A different dance video every time — Bollywood, K-pop, hip-hop and more - Live dashboard — see dances completed, time danced, minutes restricted - Works offline — a manual timer mode keeps the habit loop going with no signal YOUR PRIVACY We never read your messages, photos, or contacts. Accessibility permission is used only to detect which app is open. Device IDs are hashed. Nothing is sold. ## Is DhoomNacho safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess DhoomNacho. ## Is DhoomNacho legit?

Screen time tracking now reflects your real usage, and completing a dance break correctly resets your allowance for a fresh start. ### 1.3 — 2026-08-28 Welcome to Dhoom Nacho. Set a daily screen time limit, choose the apps to guard, and earn access back with a quick dance break. Simple, effective, and actually fun. ### 1.2 — 2026-08-18 Dhoom Nacho is a personal digital-wellbeing app: users pick a few distracting apps, set a daily time allowance, and once that allowance is used up, opening one of those apps triggers a short "dance break" the user must complete before the app unlocks again. HOW TO TEST WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT The app can be fully tested without signing in. On the welcome screen, choose "Skip for now" / continue as guest — this creates a local guest session and goes straight into onboarding. Sign-in (email code, Google, or Sign in with Apple) is optional and only used to sync settings across devices; no account is required to exercise any feature, including app blocking and dance breaks. SCREEN TIME / FAMILY CONTROLS USAGE The app requests Apple's Family Controls / Screen Time authorization (individual authorization, not parental controls or Family Sharing) so the signed-in user can select which of their own apps to restrict and receive a system-level block when their self-set allowance runs out. This is a self-management feature — there is no supervising adult or child account involved. If authorization is declined during onboarding, the app does not get stuck: it lets the user continue and pick apps later from Settings, and offers a clear "Turn on blocking" retry action at any time. REACHING THE CORE FLOW QUICKLY 1. Launch app, tap "Skip for now" to continue as guest. 2. On iOS, you'll see a short explainer screen, then a system prompt to allow Screen Time access — tap Allow. 3. Pick 1-2 apps to restrict (e.g. a game or social app already on the test device). 4. Set the daily allowance to the lowest option so the block triggers almost immediately for testing. 5. Finish onboarding, then open one of the restricted apps and use it briefly — once the allowance is used up, Dhoom Nacho intervenes with a short dance-break screen before the app can be reopened. ACCOUNT DELETION If a reviewer signs in, an in-app account deletion option is available at Settings → Delete Account, which permanently removes the account and its data immediately (Apple Guideline 5.1.1(v)). CAMERA / MICROPHONE / PHOTOS Camera and microphone are only used if the user explicitly taps "Record" during a dance break to save a clip; recordings are only saved to Photos if the user taps "Save." Neither is required to complete onboarding or testing the core blocking flow.
