Your apps stay locked until you've done something you actually love — and taken a photo to prove it. Built for ADHD brains, works for everyone! It's not a willpower problem. Your phone is engineered to be the fastest dopamine within reach, and every brain loses that fight. So Dopamine Menu doesn't ask you to fight. It asks you to swap. HOW IT WORKS Build your menu — the things you'd rather do than scroll. Read ten pages. One song, eyes closed. Walk to the corner. Guitar, badly. Lock the apps that eat your evenings. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube — your pick. When you reach for them, your menu shows up instead. Your own words, on top of the app. Do one thing. Take a photo of it. The apps unlock — for 15 minutes. Watch the score. "It tried 47 times today. It got through 2." WHY IT WORKS You can't delete a craving. You can redirect it. Cut the scroll and you leave a hole the phone will fill; swap it for something you enjoy and your brain still gets its hit — nothing to resist. Deciding the swap in advance is what psychologists call an if-then plan; across 94 studies, it roughly doubled follow-through. The photo just makes it real. WHAT YOU GET The Shield — the apps you choose stay locked until you've done something from your menu and shown the proof Your menu on your home screen — no deciding in the moment; you already decided Wins — every photo builds your wall. "I won against the algorithm 23 times. And I can prove it." The scoreboard — how many times the algorithm tried, how many times it got through, and which apps tried hardest Your time, back — the hours you spent on your book, your walk, your guitar, counted Share the proof — one tap turns your wall into a poster (blur your photos if you like) PRIVACY, FOR REAL Your photos never leave your phone. No account, no upload, no cloud. Dopamine Menu can't see what you do inside other apps — Apple's Screen Time framework keeps that on your device, where it belongs. FREE AND PRO Free: unlimited menu, soft blocking, wins, the wall, sharing. Pro: the Shield that actually holds, home-screen widgets, unlimited menus, the weekly recap. Built for anyone whose evenings keep disappearing — ADHD brains, chronically online humans, and everyone who used to have hobbies. Get your time back. No willpower. Just a better plan. — Dopamine Menu Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription ($2.99 per week or $44.99 per year) or a one-time lifetime purchase ($79.99). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your Apple ID settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when — FREE TO TRY To access all features, subscribe via Apple Pay, managed through your Apple account. No account required. Your data stays on your device. End User License Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ — A NOTE FROM US We built this app because we needed it ourselves. Your guitar exists. Your sketchbook exists. That walk you keep putting off exists. You just need a reminder that they're there. The internet is full of apps that want your attention. This one wants to give it back. That's all this is. A menu. Your menu.
