## What is Dopamine Guard?

**Dopamine Guard is a focus-protection app built around the intent you want to protect.**

Most screen-time tools start with what to block. Dopamine Guard starts with what you're protecting — launching your app, learning a language, sleeping better — and builds your protection around it.

**Protected Intent** — A short quiz captures what you're trying to protect, what steals your best hours, and when you lose control most often.

**Your Personal Guard Plan** — Get a plan matched to your risk window and triggers: a recommended guard mode, focus block size, and the companion that fits your style.

**Protected Focus** — Run calm, distraction-aware focus sessions with a drift-proof timer, pauses that don't cheat you, and honest completion summaries. Ending early still counts what you protected — no shame mechanics, ever.

**Guard Companions** — Kiro, Nara, and Miko grow with your focus energy. Bond levels, habitats, and achievements reward protection, never punish slips.

**Reports** — See your protected minutes, strongest days, and weakest windows from your real local data.

**Private by design** — Dopamine Guard is local-first. Everything works without an account. If you sign in, only safe data syncs (your plan, focus history summaries, companion progress). Which apps you select for protection stays on your device — always.

Dopamine Guard Pro unlocks unlimited guard modes, strict protection modes, longer focus blocks, and more. Monthly, yearly (7-day free trial), and lifetime options.

*Dopamine Guard supports focus habits. It is not a medical product and does not diagnose or treat any condition.*
