Put your phone down. Your dragon grows. Eklos turns your fight against doomscrolling into a game: adopt a creature that grows when you keep your habits β€” and gets bored when you scroll. THE BLOCKER THAT RAISES YOUR DRAGON β€’ Pick the apps that eat your time (Instagram, TikTok…) and set YOUR daily limit β€” iOS does the counting, not an honor-system timer. β€’ Limit reached? Your dragon takes over the screen. β€’ Come back to Eklos fast: the faster you return, the more XP it earns. β€’ Loosening the limit must be earned: complete a habit first, and the change only applies tomorrow. You stay in charge β€” but with a cool head. HABITS THAT ACTUALLY COUNT β€’ Anti-cheat focus sessions: leaving the app fails the session (locking your screen doesn't β€” we're not monsters). β€’ Pomodoro, one-off actions, quantity habits, morning/noon/evening slots. β€’ Day streaks, protective shields, honest vacation mode. ONE DRAGON, SIX ELEMENTS β€’ Your creature evolves through stages, from hatchling to legend. β€’ Fire, water, nature, air, rock, arcane: each element has its own line and XP track. β€’ Home-screen widget and Live Activity during sessions. STRONGER TOGETHER β€’ Add friends, compare streaks, send encouragements. β€’ 7-day XP duels; save a friend's broken streak (once a month). Privacy: no screen-usage data ever leaves your device. Apple never tells us which apps you picked or your exact minutes β€” and that's how it should be. Your dragon is waiting.
