## What is DopaKO?

Can't stop opening social media? DopaKO puts a shield on the apps you open without thinking, and lets you earn time on them by focusing.
Free for 3 days. No ads, no tracking.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps to shield. They stay shielded until you have app time.
• Start a focus session (10–120 min). When it ends, your app time goes up — 25 minutes of focus gets you +8 minutes, for example.
• Open your apps as usual. Your app time goes down as you use them, and the shield comes back when it runs out.
• Every day at your wake-up time, your app time resets to your daily starting amount (15 minutes by default — you choose it).

A LITTLE SLIME
While you focus, a slime slowly lets out tiny slimes — the dopamine you're not spending on your phone, as the slime sees it. They pile up and turn into your app time.

FINISH, THEN SCRATCH
Complete the session you set and a scratch card adds a bonus on top. Stop early and you still keep the time you focused.

GENTLE WHEN APP TIME RUNS OUT
You get a heads-up 1 minute before your app time ends. Instead of scolding you, the shield offers a next step: "Focus for just 10 min."

SIX THEMES
Mint, Minimal, Night Hourglass, Sunset Pastel, Wa Modern, and Retro Pixel.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
DopaKO uses Apple's Screen Time framework. The apps you pick and how long you use them never leave your iPhone. No ads, no tracking. If you send a bug report, only your message and basic device info are sent.

PRICING
DopaKO is free for 3 days after setup. The 3 free days aren't a subscription — nothing starts, and nothing is charged, unless you subscribe. To keep going after that, subscribe to the Monthly Plan: $2.99 per month (1-month subscription; price may vary by region). If you don't subscribe, your shields come off when the 3 free days end.

The Monthly Plan renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Manage or cancel it in the Settings app: tap your name, then Subscriptions.
