CraveMastery
Read full descriptionHide full description
A craving feels like it will last forever. It wonβt. Most sugar cravings peak and soften within about 90 to 180 seconds. The problem was never your willpower β itβs that no one gave you anything to do with those 180 seconds except white-knuckle through them. Thatβs what CraveMastery is for. CraveMastery isnβt a tracker, a streak counter, or another app that makes you feel like a failure when you slip. Itβs the app you open in the exact moment a craving hits β and it gives your hands and your attention something to do while the wave moves through you. TWO RITUALS, ONE METHOD β’ The Scratch β slowly scratch away the trigger image to reveal a photo you chose: your reason, your why. By the time itβs revealed, the peak has passed. β’ The Bubbles β pop bubbles that mirror the urgeβs intensity. Each pop fades the trigger and reveals the reason you chose to resist underneath β and records how strong the craving was, so you can watch it shrink over days and weeks. You see it, not because we tell you. WHY IT WORKS A craving doesnβt soften because you fight it. It softens when you meet the trigger and the expected reward never comes β and you stay present long enough for the old wiring to loosen. CraveMastery is built on that mechanism, drawn from decades of clinical practice. BUILT DIFFERENTLY β’ No streaks to protect β slip-ups donβt reset anything. β’ No willpower required β just 180 seconds of presence. β’ No shame β every time you open the app is a win. Built by Sigurd StubsjΓΈen, a clinical hypnotherapist with 40 years of practice who spent over 30 years as a clinical psychologist. Free to download. Free onboarding. Full features unlock with a subscription, managed securely through Apple.

Most screen time apps make you feel like a failure. Dopamind doesn't. Instead of guilt, streaks, or anxiety-inducing graphs, Dopamind gives you one calm number every day, your DopaScore. It tells you how your day went, what moved the needle, and what you can do differently tomorrow. No lectures. No shame. YOUR DAILY DOPASCORE Every day starts at 100. Your score adjusts based on how you actually use your phone, total screen time, app blocking attempts, late-night scrolling, and recovery moments. Tap your score to see exactly what affected it. It's your personal digital wellness checkup, recalculated throughout the day. FOCUS RULES THAT WORK Set a rule once and never think about it again. Block distracting apps during work hours, wind down before bed, or limit social media to a set number of minutes. Dopamind uses Apple's Screen Time API to enforce rules at the system level. Apps are actually blocked, not just flagged. No workarounds. BREATHING SESSIONS When you do take a break, Dopamind offers guided breathing exercises right inside the app. Short sessions designed to reset your attention and earn recovery points that improve your DopaScore. YOUR WEEK, VISUALIZED The Rhythm screen shows your entire week as a visual calendar, daily usage, patterns, and trends at a glance. Watch the pattern shift as your habits change. No spreadsheets, no overwhelming data dumps. DESIGNED TO FEEL DIFFERENT Dopamind looks and feels nothing like a typical productivity app. The interface is calm, editorial, and intentional. Inspired by print magazines, not dashboards. Every screen is designed to lower your stress, not raise it. PRIVACY FIRST Your screen time data stays on your device and in your private account. Dopamind never sells your data, never shows ads, and never shares your usage with third parties. Your relationship with your phone is your business. WHAT YOU GET - DopaScore: one number that captures your entire day - Focus Rules: block apps by schedule or usage limit - Breathing sessions: guided exercises to reset focus - Weekly rhythm view: your habits visualized as a calendar - Late-night tracking: see how bedtime scrolling affects your score - App usage breakdown: know exactly where your time goes PRICING Dopamind is free to download with a 7-day free trial. After the trial, choose Monthly ($4.99/mo) or Annual ($29.99/yr - save 50%). Cancel anytime. Your phone isn't the enemy. Your habits are the opportunity. Dopamind helps you see them clearly and change them quietly.
