About

StayOff

Read full description

SnappOff is a digital wellbeing app that helps users break unhealthy screen habits by locking selected apps for custom durations. Once locked, apps stay inaccessible until the lock period expires — no bypassing, no exceptions. Users can set one-time locks, recurring schedules by day and time, and track their usage through built-in analytics. SnappOff is designed for anyone who wants a firm, reliable way to reduce time spent on social media, games, or any distracting app.

ScrollSteps turns walking into the only way to unlock your most distracting apps. Instead of relying on willpower, you earn screen time by moving: every 100 steps = 1 minute of access. If you haven’t walked enough, your apps stay locked. Take a short walk, earn minutes, and come back with intention instead of falling into a doomscrolling spiral in social media. Walk more, scroll less, and turn your phone into a tool that nudges you toward a better life. Stop doomscrolling. Start doing. All that lost time could’ve been progress—and your future still can be.
