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.

Bound helps you understand WHERE your phone time actually goes. Most screen time apps show you a total. Bound shows you the PATTERN. There's a crucial difference between the 2 hours you intentionally spent on email and navigation, and the 2.5 hours you spent unconsciously scrolling social media with no memory of deciding to pick up your phone. Bound separates these. Once you see the split, you can't unsee it. LOG EVERY PICKUP IN SECONDS Every time you reach for your phone, log it: intentional (a specific task) or unconscious (habit, boredom, reflex). Add the app, the duration, the trigger. After 7 days, a pattern emerges that you can't argue with. Most people discover that 60-70% of their daily pickups were unconscious - pure habit with no intent behind them. SET YOUR DAILY INTENTION Each morning, set your intention before you pick up your phone. Which apps are on your list? What are your boundaries for today? No Instagram before noon. Phone-free dinner. No bedtime scroll. The intention is a filter - every pickup runs through it. "Am I here because I chose to be?" PICKUP PATTERN ANALYSIS (Pro) See exactly when your worst habits hit, broken down by hour of day. Most people have a 7-10 PM peak - idle hands during TV time. Your data shows YOUR peak. The pattern is the insight. The insight is the leverage. Knowing that 23% of your unconscious pickups happen in the evening is the first step to owning the evening. APP-BY-APP BREAKDOWN (Pro) Which apps are stealing the most time? You probably think you check Instagram for 2 minutes per session. The data says: 7.4 minutes. 7 sessions per day. 52 minutes daily. The perception gap between how long you THINK you spend versus how long you ACTUALLY spend is the core of the screen time problem. Bound closes that gap with numbers you can't rationalize away. PHONE-FREE BLOCKS Set a 30, 60, or 90-minute phone-free block. Put the phone down. Walk, read, cook, talk, or just exist without it. When the timer ends, check in: how did the block go? What did you do instead? Over time, the block log becomes evidence that life is better without the screen. The first 5 minutes are the hardest. After that, you forget the phone exists. AI SCREEN COACH (Pro) Ask anything about your phone habits. Describe a pattern you can't break. Get personalized, evidence-based strategies grounded in YOUR specific data - not generic willpower advice. Powered by Grok AI. The AI understands habit loops, variable reward schedules, and behavioral psychology. It won't tell you screens are bad. It'll show you what YOUR data is costing you. WEEKLY REFLECTIONS (Pro) At the end of each week, see your trend. Is unconscious usage going down? Are phone-free blocks getting longer? Which day was your worst? The weekly reflection turns raw data into a clear picture of progress - or a clear signal to change the strategy. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS All data stored locally with optional iCloud sync. No ads. No data selling. No account required to start. FREE vs. PRO Free: daily intention setter, full pickup log, phone-free block timer, intentional vs. unconscious daily breakdown, block history, phone addiction psychology library Pro: hourly pickup pattern analysis, app-by-app time breakdown, weekly trend charts, weekly reflection prompts, AI Screen Coach --- "I tracked my unconscious phone use for one week: 21.7 hours. That's 47 days per year on my phone without choosing to be there. Bound showed me exactly when and why - and I reclaimed my evenings."
