## What is Stop Doomscrolling by Vital?

Stop Doomscrolling. Earn Your Screen Time.

The Vital helps you stop doomscrolling, reduce screen time, and build healthier phone habits by turning social media into something you earn instead of something you lose hours to.

Instead of relying on willpower alone, The Vital rewards real-world actions with Vitals, your in-app currency. Complete healthy activities, earn Vitals, and spend them to unlock time on apps like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more.

Your screen time becomes a reward—not a default.

Earn Your Feed

Want 10 minutes on Instagram?

Earn it.

Do a workout. Go for a walk. Complete a healthy habit. Spend your Vitals to unlock the apps you choose.

Using Apple's Screen Time technology, The Vital helps you be more intentional with your time while keeping you in control.

Earn Vitals by Doing Real Things

Build a healthier routine by completing activities like:

• Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, planks, walking, running, and cycling
• Outdoor challenges, including nature photos and sunrise or sunset check-ins
• Healthy habits like drinking water, journaling, sleeping on time, and phone-free mornings

Many activities are verified on your device using available sensors and permissions, helping make your progress meaningful.

Spend Vitals on Screen Time

Choose how challenging you want the experience to be with Easy, Balanced, or Hard modes.

Spend your earned Vitals to unlock screen time on supported apps. Unused Vitals roll over with a daily cap to encourage consistent habits instead of occasional binge sessions.

Watch your "Days Unscrolled" grow as you build momentum.


Stay Motivated

The Vital is designed to make consistency rewarding.

Features include:

• Daily streaks
• 30-day themed seasons
• Levels and unlockable cosmetics
• Season ranks
• Weekly challenges
• Shareable achievement cards
• Lifetime progress tracking

Designed for People Who Want Their Time Back

Whether you're trying to stop doomscrolling, reduce screen time, overcome phone addiction, or take a break from social media, The Vital helps you build healthier habits without asking you to delete the apps you enjoy.

If traditional app blockers, screen time limits, or digital detox challenges haven't worked for you, The Vital offers a different approach by making progress rewarding.

## Privacy First

Your screen time data stays on your device using Apple's Family Controls.

The Vital only requests permissions needed for specific activities, such as the camera for workout verification, location for outdoor challenges, or Health data for supported health features.
