You don't have a discipline problem. You have a friction problem. App Blocker makes opening Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube cost something — a few seconds of honesty instead of nothing at all. Guard the apps that steal your attention. When you try to open one, the app stops you and asks one question: do you actually want this, or are you just bored? Answer honestly in a short journal entry, earn 15 minutes, or just walk away. No streaks. No badges. No guilt trips. Just an honest count of how many times you said no this week — and the reminder that each one bought your attention back. What it does: - Guard any app: Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, or your own picks - One honest question before you unlock: why do you want in? - Earn access by writing it down, not by mindlessly tapping through a timer - See your weekly count of times you said no — the only metric that matters - Strict mode for when willpower isn't enough This isn't about deleting apps or blocking the internet. It's about adding one moment of friction before autopilot wins — so opening your phone is a choice again, not a reflex.
