Soberphone vs Protagonist

Soberphone is not just another app blocker. It's a real path out of screen addiction. Based on behavioral science and proven recovery methods. Goals and Guardrails. Accountability. Reflection. Live Meetings. Reward Systems. (Fun!) It's a whole process. And it can help you live your best life, free from the grip of your screens. Here's how it works: GOALS Decide what tech you struggle with and set goals for your ideal use. GUARDRAILS Choose how long to use that tech for at each open with the "Unlock" Timer. ACCOUNTABILITY Add supporters to motivate real change – they’ll be invited to check in if you go over a goal. GUIDED REFLECTION Commit to a reflection process to shine light on the deeper layers that keep you hooked - share with supporters or keep for yourself. LIVE MEETINGS CALENDAR Peer-support groups run by an outside org called ITAA. Hear from others on a similar journey, share your own experience if you'd like, and learn from people who've already transformed their tech use. REWARDS SYSTEM Watch your orb – it changes to reflect your progress. Keep it vibrant by meeting your goals each day, and unlock new orbs by collecting star points. - THE CONTEXT - There's a lot to love about our **screens** The utility, the connection, the whole world in our hands. But we're totally **hooked** Hours, weeks, and years of our lives spent unintentionally absorbed. We're not meant to face this **alone** It takes a lot more than willpower to get free. And most existing solutions miss the emotional and relational core of the issue. Healing happens in **connection** not in isolation. Decades of research on compulsion and addiction are clear on this. **Peer Support** is one of the most evidence-backed methods for breaking habits. So let's use it. No cold turkey. No dumb phones. No hyper-gamification. Just flexible support for the screen-life balance you want. ------------------------------------------ Soberphone requires an auto-renewable subscription to access its features. • Annual - $39.99/year (includes a 14-day free trial) • Monthly - $5.99/month (includes a 14-day free trial) Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
