Dopamine Resque
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dopamine Resque breaks short-form addiction with structure, not willpower. Set a time, press one button, and the apps you chose are locked. That's it. No points, no characters, no confetti — this app refuses to become another dopamine hit. How it works 1. Pick a session length (15 min–8 hours) 2. Choose the apps to block 3. Press start. They stay locked until time is up. Unlocking is not easy - Breathing gate: to unlock early, you must sit through a breathing screen. Each attempt doubles the wait. - Hard mode: no unlocking until the session ends. Force-quitting the app won't help — the block survives. Plain, honest stats Today's focus time, day streak, 7-day chart, session success rate. Records, not rewards. Privacy first No account. No server. Everything stays on your device. App blocking uses Apple's Screen Time technology — we can't even see which apps you picked. Stop scrolling. Start living. ※ Screen Time permission is required for app blocking.
