Stop doomscrolling. Start living. Control Dopamine helps you build healthier screen-time habits by turning screen time into something you earn — not something that controls you. Your phone wasn't designed to let you go. Every notification, every infinite scroll, every autoplay video is designed to keep you hooked. Control Dopamine fights back with habit-building gamification that makes healthy routines more rewarding than mindless scrolling. HOW IT WORKS Block the apps stealing your time — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, X (Twitter), Facebook, and more. Then earn "brain credits" by doing activities that actually make you feel good: • Meditation & mindfulness sessions • Reading real books • Exercise & walking • Journaling & reflection • Time in nature Spend your earned credits to temporarily unlock blocked apps. You stay in control — your brain gets the break it needs. MEET YELO — YOUR BRAIN MASCOT Yelo is your cute companion that reflects your progress and momentum in real time. The more healthy habits you build, the happier and more energized Yelo becomes. Skip your habits and watch Yelo struggle. It's the visual motivation you didn't know you needed. 28-DAY FOCUS RESET CHALLENGE Take the 28-day challenge to build lasting focus habits: • Daily streaks that keep you accountable • Weekly progress reports — see your screen time drop • Milestone rewards for consistency • Before vs. after comparison charts FEATURES • Smart App Blocking — block distracting apps • Brain Credits System — earn credits through healthy activities • Yelo Mascot — watch your progress visualized • 28-Day Challenges — structured programs for lasting change • Streak Tracking — build momentum with daily streaks • Weekly Reports — compare your screen time week over week • Activity Timer — time meditation, reading, exercise and more THE APPROACH Control Dopamine draws on behavioral psychology principles — variable reward schedules, commitment devices, and habit stacking — to help you reduce aimless scrolling and build healthier screen-time patterns.
