## What is Dopamine Detox?

Track every minute your phone stays untouched.

Set a time — 25 minutes, say — and tap the ring to start.
Every app you didn't choose to allow is locked until the session ends.
No willpower required. You don't have to resist opening them — you simply can't.

■ The Dopamine Reset idea
Notifications, social feeds, short videos. When stimulation never lets up,
even a few quiet minutes start to feel unbearable.
This app does one simple thing: it creates time with no incoming stimulation,
and turns that time into a number you can see.

■ How it works
1. Choose which apps stay open during a session (one-time setup)
2. Pick how long to put your phone down today (10 / 25 / 45 / 60 / 90 / 120 min)
3. Tap the ring in the middle to start
4. You can turn your screen off. A notification tells you when it's done

■ What gets blocked
During a session, anything you didn't allow is locked.
Keep Phone, Maps, and anything else you need available, and they'll still work.
This runs on iOS's own Screen Time framework, so everything unlocks automatically
the moment the session ends.

■ During a session
The ring shifts from orange to mint as time passes, with labels moving through
"Restless," "Settling," "Quiet," and "Clear."
You can tell how far you've come without reading the clock.

■ If you still try to open a blocked app
A drop appears and stops you. The message changes the more times you try,
but it never scolds you.
If you truly need to, you can end the session any time from DopaReset's own screen.

■ Automatic blocking by time of day
Set a window like "10 PM to 6 AM" and blocking kicks in automatically
once that time arrives — no need to open the app or do anything.

■ Websites, too
Blocking an entire browser would also block things you actually need to look up,
so you can block specific sites instead.

■ Switch between setups
Save named combinations of blocked apps — "Study," "Before bed" — so you don't
have to reselect them every time your situation changes.
(Multiple presets is a Pro feature)

■ Built to keep you going
・Current streak and your longest ever
・Time your phone stayed down this week (vs. last week)
・Days since you started, and total time untouched
・A jar that fills with one drop per completed session
・Even a session you stop early still counts for the time you made it

Three minutes on a day you only managed three minutes still isn't zero.

■ About ads
No ads during a session. Keeping ads out of your quiet time is a design
decision, not an afterthought. Ads only appear after a session ends,
and Pro removes them entirely.

■ Pro (one-time purchase or monthly)
・Lock interruptions with a 4-digit PIN
・Up to 5 scheduled blocking windows (free: 1)
・Up to 5 saved presets (free: 1)
・No ads
・Custom durations from 5 minutes to 24 hours, by the minute
・See your best blocking hours on a 24-hour chart
・4 ring color themes
One-time purchase and monthly unlock the same features. Monthly can be
canceled anytime. Blocking, history, and streaks — the core features —
all work fully without purchasing anything.

DopaReset Pro (Monthly) is an auto-renewing subscription billed monthly.
It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current
period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings > [your name] >
Subscriptions. The one-time purchase does not auto-renew.

■ Privacy
Information about the apps you choose to block never leaves your device.
It isn't sent anywhere, isn't stored anywhere else, and isn't used for ads.
No account required.

■ Who this is for
・You look up and an hour on your phone is gone
・You want a quiet head before studying or working
・You've tried to do a full digital detox and burned out
・You set Screen Time limits and then just turn them off yourself

Start with 10 minutes.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-11-04

Minor improvements.

### 1.7 — 2026-10-21

・本当に辛いときだけ使える「中断」の出し方を見直しました。何度も戻ってきてしまうセッションでは、その場で中断ボタンが現れます（ブロック対象を選んでいない場合はこれまでと同じく最初から使えます）。
・最初の1回を終えた直後から、レビューのお願いを表示するようにしました。
・設定画面から、レビュー投稿画面を直接開けるようにしました。

### 1.6 — 2026-10-13

・ブロック画面を作り直しました。開き直すほど、しずくの言い方と表情が変わります。
  それでも開けませんが、いつでもアプリから中断できます。
・置いた時間をカードにして共有できるようにしました。
・統計画面を作り直しました。今週の記録、置いた日数、成功したぶんだけ溜まる
  「しずくの器」を見られます。
・「この7日間」のグラフを、Proでなくても見られるようにしました。
・Proの時間指定を24時間まで広げました（1分単位）。選ぶ場所も分かりやすくしました。

### 1.5 — 2026-10-12

・開始しやすくしました。中央の時間の輪をタップするだけで始められます。
・Pro に月額プランを追加しました。買い切りと月額のどちらかを選べます。
・アプリを選ぶ画面の名前が動作と逆になっていたのを直しました。あの画面で選ぶのは
  「セッション中も使えるアプリ」です。選ばなかったアプリが塞がれます。
・時間帯ブロックの説明も同じ観点で直しました。

### 1.4 — 2026-09-30

・セッションの中断や「ブロックをすべて解除」に、4桁のPINをかけられるようになりました（Pro）。
　間違えると1分待ちます。時間帯ブロックをオフにするときにも必要になります。
・お子さんの端末にも使えます。その場合は、iOSの「スクリーンタイム → App の削除」を
　「許可しない」にあわせて設定してください（アプリが削除されるとブロックも解除されます）。
・Proの説明画面を見直し、無料版との違いが分かりやすくなりました。
