Are you tired of setting screen time limits only to hit "Ignore for 15 minutes" the second they pop up? Dicy fixes the broken screen time system by introducing a powerful psychological trick: Chance. Instead of giving yourself a guaranteed 2 hours on social media, you have to roll the dice for your time. Will you get 15 minutes or 60? You get what you roll, and when the time is up, the app is blocked. No easy bypasses, no cheating. By turning screen time into a game, Dicy breaks the addictive loop of doomscrolling and helps you take your life back. HOW IT WORKS: • Choose Your Distractions: Select the apps or categories that steal your time. • Roll the Dice: Open Dicy to roll for your daily allowance. • Use Your Time Wisely: Dicy tracks your usage in the background. • Strict Blocking: Once your rolled time is up, the app is locked down for the rest of the day. You can get some more time, but not until you’ve had a conversation with Dicy. KEY FEATURES (All listed features require In-App Purchase): • Gamified Limits: A randomized approach that is proven to reduce dependency and break bad habits. • Hardcore Blocking: Built on Apple's strict Screen Time API. When time is up, it's actually up. • House Rules: Create unlimited custom schedules to strictly block apps during specific times. • Custom Dice Configurations: Change the minutes on each face of the dice to fit your needs. • Beautiful Analytics: Track your progress, consistency, and time saved over time. • Privacy First: Dicy runs entirely on your device. We cannot see what apps you use, how long you use them, or read your screen. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED (In-App Purchase): Dicy operates with a strict, hard paywall to ensure you are fully committed to breaking your scrolling habits. There is no free trial or free tier - accessing the app and unlocking all of its powerful, unbreakable blocking features requires an active subscription (In-App purchase required). Stop letting your phone control your day. Roll the dice, break the cycle, and reclaim your time with Dicy!
