## What is Dopamine Detox?

Dopamine Detox: App Blocker helps you stay focused by blocking selected apps and websites during your most productive hours. Set up automatic schedules or start manual focus sessions— either way, you stay in control.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose the apps you want to block, then lock them away. Getting back in requires scanning your personal QR code — no quick escapes or mindless scrolling. If you're serious about focus, this is the tool you need.

FOCUS SESSIONS

Start a focus session whenever you need deep work time. Select specific apps to block, tap the ring, and they're locked until you scan to unlock.
Perfect for:
• Deep work and concentration
• Studying without distractions
• Digital detox sessions
• Building better screen time habits

SMART SCHEDULES

Set up recurring blocks that run automatically:
• Block social media during work hours
• Lock gaming apps until evening
• Restrict distracting sites during study time
• Custom schedules for any day and time

Schedules run in the background — no need to remember to start them. Your apps unlock automatically when the window closes.

TEMPLATES

Save your most-used app selections as templates for quick access:
• "Work Mode" - Block social media and entertainment
• "Study Time" - Lock everything except educational apps
• "Digital Detox" - Block all non-essential apps
• Create unlimited custom templates

QR CODE UNLOCK

Breaking focus requires intention. Generate your personal QR code, then:
• Print it and place it across the room
• Save it in another room
• Give it to a friend or accountability partner
• Hide it somewhere inconvenient

The friction helps you think twice before unlocking.

TIME LIMITS

Set daily usage limits for specific apps. Once you hit your allowance, the app locks for the rest of the day. Great for gradual reduction without going cold turkey.

SESSION HISTORY

Track your progress with detailed session history:
• See how long you stayed focused
• Review which schedules ran
• Monitor your daily improvements
• Build momentum with visible progress

EMERGENCY UNLOCKS

Life happens. Emergency unlocks are available in Settings for truly urgent situations — but they're limited, so you'll use them wisely.
Your app selections and usage data stay on your device. We don't collect, track, or sell your information. Ever.

Note: Dopamine Detox: App Blocker uses Apple's Screen Time API. Blocking is  enforced at the system level — no bypassing through settings or restarts.
