The 30-Day Method to Break Your Phone Addiction Crush Your Phone-Free Goal by Committing Cash Get a free, custom detox plan to complete daily challenges where you: 1. Start a focus session 2. Commit cold, hard cash 3. Stay off your phone, or pay up (donate) Cobweb is the hardcore focus app that helps you beat phone addiction without relying on willpower alone. If you've tried everything to reclaim your focus and conquer procrastination, it's time for a wake-up call. The soft approach of most screen time apps doesn't work for everyone. You might need something tougher. Real skin in the game. Instead of cheesy mindfulness tips and deep breathing exercises, put some real money on the line and watch your motivation to stay off your phone skyrocket. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Choose Your Focus Duration Set a timer for your focus session. The longer, the better. You'll feel fantastic after a digital breather. 2. Put Money on the Line This is where it gets interesting. Put cash on the line to prevent yourself from bailing on your session goal. 3. Crush Your Goal (or Pay Up!) Get out there and touch grass. If you use your phone before your session is over, you'll have to pay the piper (after operating costs, proceeds are donated to The Center for Humane Technology). Cobweb helps you control your screen time by starting a focus session (similar to a Pomodoro timer) and, more importantly, sticking to your goals. Block distractions and achieve freedom from phone addiction—no need to go cold turkey or buy a dumbphone. No mindfulness or productivity hacks needed. If you have trouble staying off your phone or need a dopamine detox, Cobweb is the path forward. BENEFITS: - High-Stakes Focus: Put your money where your focus is.

Once you start, there's no way to quit or disable the session. - No More Tweaking Settings: Forget fiddling with settings or resorting to hacks like grayscale. No more half-measures - just hardcore focus. - Results, Not Measurement: Instead of giving you a pretty chart of the time you've wasted, Cobweb actually keeps you off your phone.
