activity8 vs Dayo

Maybe learn to play piano, go biking or play tennis, how about hosting a game-night with a cover charge and activity8 making payment and details easy. Find someone to PLAY with or Get a Coach! Got skills? Coach someone on an activity and earn! We consciously created activity8 to balance screen time and real world activities.

Pick a thing. It becomes the key to pausing distractions on your phone. Your earbuds case. A coffee mug. A library card. A weird little rock. Pick any object - Dayo locks the apps you choose behind it. To get back in, you have to physically find it and snap a photo. No willpower. No "are you sure?" prompts. Just a real-world object standing between you and the scroll. WHY IT WORKS Every other screen time app gives you a button you can tap your way around. Dayo gives you a thing - and things don't have a "snooze for 15 minutes" option. The friction is the feature. WHAT'S IN 2.0 Modes - Pick a starter kit when you set up a Totem: - Work Mode (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) - Sleep Mode (every night, 10pm-7am) - Study Mode (Mon-Fri, 6pm-9pm) - Focus Mode (manual only - you lock it when you're ready) Focus Blocks - Pomodoro-style. Pick 25, 50, or 90 minutes. Phone locks. Auto-unlocks at the bell. No snap needed. Schedules - Auto-lock on the times that matter (Pro). Daily Limits - Budget your TikTok at 30 min/day. Once you blow it, your Totem auto-locks until tomorrow. Streaks - Lock once a day, build your run. 3, 7, 30, 100, 365 days - we celebrate every milestone. Reflections - When you unlock, we ask "What did you do instead?" A week later you see your own answers. Yes, it's a little corny. Yes, it works. Buddies (Pro) - Lock in with a friend. You see when they're focusing. They see when you are. Quiet co-presence - no chat, no rankings. Sunday Recap - Every week, we text you a one-line summary of what you reclaimed. "3 hours 22 minutes off your phone. 9 sessions. 7-day streak." That's it. WHO IT'S FOR - People who already tried Screen Time, Opal, and Jomo and tapped past every one of them - Anyone who wants their evenings back without an entire "wellness journey" - Pomodoro nerds who want a real-world commitment device - Friend groups that want to focus together without a chat app screaming at them FREE TIER - Limited manual Totem locks (1 self-initiated lock per day) - Limited Focus Blocks - Daily limits - Streaks and recap DAYO PRO - Scheduled Totems (auto-lock on your calendar) - Buddies (up to 5 friends) - Unlimited manual locks - Unlimited Totem locks - Unlimited Focus locks - Buddy Focus blocks - Future Pro features as we ship them PRIVACY Dayo uses Apple's Family Controls and Screen Time APIs. We never see which apps you blocked or how long you used them - Apple keeps that data on-device. Your Totem photos and reflections live in your private account. We don't sell anything. We don't have ads. You pay us, or you don't. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Totem Pro is a 1-year auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
