Your brain wasn't designed for infinite feeds. Dopamine Detox puts real barriers between you and the apps that pull you in — using iOS Screen Time to block them at the system level, not just remind you to stop. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want to quit. The iOS system picker lets you choose directly. 2. Set a goal. 7 days, 30 days, or open-ended — you decide. 3. Enable Focus Shield. Your target apps are blocked by Screen Time. No willpower required. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • System-Level Blocking — Uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls). When Focus Shield is on, your target apps cannot be opened. Period. • Urge Intervention — When you feel the itch to scroll, tap "My hand is itching" for a 60-second guided pause with a replacement action. • Live Activity & Widget — Your current streak appears on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen widget so you see your progress without opening the app. • Deep Analytics (Pro) — See your relapse patterns, danger windows, goal pace, and which interventions work best. • One-Time Purchase — Pro is a single payment. No subscription. No recurring charges. Lifetime access. • 100% Local — All your data stays on your device. No account required. No servers. No tracking. FREE FEATURES • Unlimited streak tracking with second-level precision • Urge intervention flow with 6+ replacement actions • Basic stats: total time recovered, longest streak, intervention count • Widget sync and Live Activity • Relapse log with reasons PRO FEATURES (one-time purchase) • Hard blocking via Focus Shield (Screen Time integration) • Full action library with contextual replacement suggestions • Deep analytics: danger windows, relapse reasons breakdown, intervention success rate, goal pace • Additional Lock Screen and Dynamic Island metrics WHO IT'S FOR Dopamine Detox isn't a habit tracker. It's for people who've tried deleting apps, setting screen time limits, and promising themselves "just 5 minutes" — and want something that actually stops the cycle. If you're serious about breaking free from scrolling, this is the tool. PRIVACY Dopamine Detox does not collect, store, or upload any personal information. All your data — streak progress, blocked apps, relapse history — lives exclusively on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party trackers. One purchase. Your data. Your streak.
