Baseline helps restore your focus by restructuring when you get stimulation, not just how much you get. Your brain is used to dopamine spikes at the wrong times. It's not that you lack discipline. If you’ve ever... • sat down to work and immediately reached for your phone • felt like you “just couldn’t start” • have or wondered if you have ADHD (1 in 4 now suspect they do) ...then Baseline was built for you. WHAT'S DIFFERENT? Most apps focus on how much screen time you get. But the real problem is WHEN you get it. When you get high-stimulation input early in the day, your brain becomes less responsive to lower-stimulation tasks afterward, making it harder to focus, start work, or stay on task. And over time, this pattern reinforces itself. BASELINE Baseline is a daily focus system designed to fix that. Instead of just blocking apps, it structures your day so your brain works with you, not against you. It focuses on timing, not just restrictions. HOW IT WORKS Your day is divided into simple phases: • Morning: Avoid early dopamine spikes • Focus: Block distractions for deep work • Reward: Guilt-free access to apps • Wind Down: Reduce stimulation before bed • Sleep: Protect recovery This science-backed approach is based on how your brain adapts to repeated stimulation patterns. Baseline helps you reset that pattern so focus becomes easier and more natural again. BENEFITS What you’ll notice: • It’s easier to start things • You stop reaching for your phone automatically • Work feels less like a battle • You can focus longer without forcing it • Low-stimulation activities feel enjoyable again This is a system for getting your focus back, not just another screen time app. Baseline requires a subscription to unlock full access.
