## What is Good Dopamine | Screen Time?

Good Dopamine helps you break the cycle of cheap dopamine and rebuild your brain's natural reward system.

Endless scrolling, binge-watching, and other fast-reward habits erode your dopamine baseline over time. You need more stimulation to feel the same, and feel worse without it. Good Dopamine gives you the tools to reverse that pattern — backed by neuroscience, not willpower.

Good Dopamine is a subscription app. A Good Dopamine Pro membership is required to unlock and use the features below.

HOW IT WORKS

Your Dopamine Baseline Score (0-100) is a single number that tracks your recovery. It updates weekly, moving gradually to mirror your brain's real neuroadaptation rate. Log your daily activities, complete weekly reflections, and watch your score climb as you replace cheap dopamine with earned dopamine.

BLOCK APPS THE SMART WAY

Integrates with Apple Screen Time to block the apps and websites you choose. When you reach for a blocked app, Good Dopamine shows you a restorative activity instead — turning a moment of craving into a moment of recovery.

33 BUILT-IN ACTIVITIES ACROSS 6 CATEGORIES

- Movement: 7-minute workouts, push-ups, squats, dancing
- Learn: reading, courses, practicing instruments
- Create: journaling, haiku writing, drawing
- Connect: call a friend, FaceTime, send a "thinking of you" note
- Mindfulness: breathing exercises, meditation, cold showers
- Nature: walks, bird watching, sky gazing

Each activity is designed to produce earned dopamine — the kind that strengthens your baseline instead of eroding it.

DAILY CHECK-INS & WEEKLY INSIGHTS

A quick end-of-day check-in (15-30 seconds) logs what you did — both cheap and restorative. No judgment, just reflection. Weekly reflections generate a personalized insight about your progress, like "Your enjoyment of simple things improved this week."

SCIENCE-BACKED EDUCATION

In-depth articles explaining the neuroscience behind dopamine regulation: opponent-process theory, tolerance, allostasis, variable rewards, and why recovery feels slow (but is working).

YOUR BRAIN ISN'T BROKEN

You're not weak or lazy. Your brain is responding normally to an environment designed to hijack your reward system. Good Dopamine helps you take it back.
