Digital Detox Timer vs Lighthouse

A simple timer app to prevent excessive smartphone use. Start the restriction timer with one tap and see elapsed time at a glance. Graphs and charts help track your progress, making habit formation easier. Ideal for those who want to focus on work or study and reduce smartphone dependency. With a minimalist UI, it’s intuitive to use. A great tool for starting a digital detox.

Stop doomscrolling one small challenge at a time. Lighthouse turns a dopamine detox into a daily game you can actually finish. Every day you get at least three short, screen-free challenges: an app-free hour, a no-social-media morning, a phone-free meal, a mindful walk, grayscale mode, a digital sunset, five minutes of breathing. Complete them and the fog around your lighthouse clears. Keep going and its beam grows brighter. HOW IT WORKS • Choose a daily commitment between 10 and 60 minutes. • Get today's challenges, picked from a set of 25. • Finish all of today's challenges to keep your streak alive. • Log your mood, energy and screen time in a few seconds. Lighthouse is a habit coach, not a gatekeeper. It never takes control of your phone or your other apps, and screen time is a number you enter yourself. The change comes from you; Lighthouse makes it easier to show up every day.
