Earn your scroll time. Dance first. Standard screen time limits just make you feel guilty — you hit the wall, override it, and scroll anyway. Nothing changes. DhoomNacho works differently. Open Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and it intercepts with a 2-minute dance video. You move, you earn, you unlock — and the urge actually starts to fade instead of building up. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps that trigger your scrolling - Set a daily allowance of screen time - When you hit it, a dance break unlocks the next session - Can't skip — the timer runs, you dance, you're back in WHY IT WORKS - Reward, not punishment — your brain earns access instead of losing it - System-level enforcement — no easy override like standard blockers - A different dance video every time — Bollywood, K-pop, hip-hop and more - Live dashboard — see dances completed, time danced, minutes restricted - Works offline — a manual timer mode keeps the habit loop going with no signal YOUR PRIVACY We never read your messages, photos, or contacts.
