Your screen time, next to your friends'. Least time wins. 5 hours a day on your phone is 76 days a year. Daboo helps you win them back by turning it into a daily race with the people who'll actually notice. IT TRACKS ITSELF Give Daboo Screen Time access once and it counts your daily total automatically. Nothing to type, nothing to remember. SET A GOAL Pick a daily limit and see every day against it. Time over your goal shows up in orange, so a bad week is obvious at a glance. RACE YOUR FRIENDS A daily leaderboard ranks you and your friends by who used their phone least. Switch between yesterday, your 7-day average and your 30-day average. KNOW WHERE YOU STAND A morning notification tells you how you placed, and a weekly recap shows how your week went. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Only a rounded daily total leaves your phone, never which apps you used, and only friends you add can see it. No ads. No third-party trackers. Delete your account and all your data any time. Put the phone down. Your friends will notice.

About

Khalas Stop Scrolling

Read full description

Khalas (خلاص — "enough") is a Screen Time blocker for people who open Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, or X without deciding to. Not a parental control app. Not a Pomodoro timer. Khalas gives you one honest daily allowance across the apps that eat your time, and steps in — calmly, not with guilt — when it's gone. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps, categories, or websites that pull you in. • Set one shared daily allowance: 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. • When it's used up, Khalas blocks those apps until tomorrow. • Add a Sleep block and a Work block for the hours you don't want to be tempted at all. • Need five more minutes? Say why, wait through a short pause, then decide. Khalas adds friction, not judgment. BUILT ON APPLE SCREEN TIME Khalas runs entirely on Apple's own Screen Time framework (Family Controls). Your app selections and usage never leave your device — Khalas can't see which apps you picked or how you use them. BUILT FOR THE GULF, NOT TRANSLATED FOR IT Khalas was designed first for Saudi Arabia and the GCC: full Arabic support, true right-to-left layout, and a tone that's direct without shaming you. It works just as well in English. WHAT MAKES KHALAS DIFFERENT • One shared allowance across all your distracting apps — not app-by-app limits to negotiate with. • A five-minute override with a real pause and a reason, not an easy "Remind Me Later." • Sleep and Work blocks that run automatically, with no daily setup. • A calm, confident interruption — not a lecture. Khalas includes a 7-day free trial, then continues as Khalas Pro (monthly or annual). Cancel anytime in Settings. Enough scrolling. Take your time back.
