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.
