About

The Low Dopamine Path

Features
Read full description

Most apps want your attention. This one wants to give it back. The Low Dopamine Path is a 90-day field notebook that pulls you out of the scroll and back into the real world — one tiny quest at a time. No feed. No likes. No streaks shaming you. No notifications begging for your attention. Just one real-world action a day, and a paper-ink notebook that fills up as you go. —— WHAT YOU GET • 90 daily quests, hand-curated across 4 chapters • A custom camera to capture proof — your moment, not a post • A field notebook that quietly fills with stamps, photos, and ink • Home screen widgets that nudge without nagging • Optional shareable cards (Instagram Stories) when you want to • Designed for Reduce Motion, system sounds, and your nervous system —— HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app. See today's quest. 2. Do it. In the real world. With your eyes up. 3. Snap a photo as proof. It stays in your notebook. 4. Close the app. Live your day. That's the whole loop. No infinite scroll. No "for you" page. No dark patterns. —— THE FOUR CHAPTERS Chapter 1 — Notice. Wake up to what's around you. Chapter 2 — Move. Get your body involved again. Chapter 3 — Connect. Real conversations, real people. Chapter 4 — Build. Make something that lasts past the day. 90 quests. 90 days. One path back to attention. —— WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who unlocks their phone and forgets why • Anyone who finished a season but can't remember the plot • Anyone who wants their attention back without a 10-day silent retreat —— DESIGNED ON PURPOSE Paper-ink aesthetic. DM Serif Text and IBM Plex Mono. No dopamine-bait colors. No engagement loops. The app is intentionally a little boring — so your life can be a little more interesting. —— PRIVACY Your photos stay on your device. We don't have a feed. We don't have a social graph. We don't sell anything to advertisers. There's nothing to sell. —— Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24h before the period ends. Manage in App Store settings. Less screen. More life.
