Is your attention span dying? The average person scrolls 3 kilometers a day. That’s a digital lobotomy in real-time. Your brain is fried on dopamine, making it impossible to focus on what actually matters. BrainFix is your neural reset. We don’t just block apps; we retrain your brain to thrive without them. Using a combination of advanced blocking technology and cognitive mini-games, BrainFix helps you break the dopamine loop and regain peak mental performance. KEY FEATURES(Premium subscription required): APP SHIELD: Total lockdown of distracting apps. No more "just five more minutes." Set your focus sessions and stay disciplined. BRAIN LAB: Sharpen your neurons with cognitive challenges like Vertex Connect. Instead of mindless scrolling, spend your breaks improving your logic and reaction time. FOCUS ANALYTICS: Visualize your recovery. Track how much time you’ve saved and watch your attention span grow with deep-dive stats. CYBERPUNK INTERFACE: A clean, dark, and distraction-free aesthetic designed for deep work. WHY BRAINFIX? Most blockers are passive. They stop you, but they don’t fix the underlying problem. BrainFix is active. We treat your focus like a muscle, blocking the noise so you can train it back to its full potential. Stop being a slave to the algorithm. Download BrainFix and take your life back. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://jakubjirik11-netizen.github.io/BrainFix/

You open social media for one quick check. Half an hour later, you’re still scrolling. ScrollKick helps stop that moment before it happens — without forcing you to quit social media. Set a Session Limit to keep each visit short. Add a Daily Limit, Blocked Hours, or Always Blocked when you want stronger boundaries. BREAK THE SCROLL, NOT YOUR SOCIAL LIFE When a limit is reached, ScrollKick interrupts the scroll. Choose how hard it should be to continue with four protection levels — from a short mindful pause to stronger protection. Temporary access ends automatically, and the app returns to protection. KEY FEATURES • Session limits for each scrolling session • Daily limits and blocked hours • Always Blocked for selected apps • Four protection levels • Custom pause and access timers • Strict Mode for stronger commitment • Screen-time insights • Kick Points and progress tracking Start free with essential protection for one app. ScrollKick Pro unlocks more apps, stronger protection, custom timers, Strict Mode, and extended insights. ScrollKick uses Apple’s Screen Time technology to protect selected apps on your device. Check social media. Don’t get stuck there.
