DoomGuard vs DoomStop

You open THAT APP for a second. Forty minutes later, you're still there. DoomGuard is the screen time app that catches you mid-scroll — not before, not after, but while a quick check is turning into a spiral. Like a friend who says "hey, you're doing it again" at exactly the right moment. No hard blocks. No app bans. Just a nudge, in a voice you actually picked. YOUR RHYTHM, YOUR RULES Forget "45 minutes a day." Open your apps as often as you like — DoomGuard nudges you by frequency, not a daily cap. Every reopen counts on its own, so the 15th check of the day gets caught too. iOS Screen Time just adds up your whole day and pings you once. We watch the session you're actually in. CHOOSE YOUR PERSONA Pick the voice that gets through to you. Standard stays steady and clear. Roast calls you out. Cyberpunk glitches you back to reality. Zen brings you back to center. YOUR SCHEDULE, YOUR APPS Go Premium for stricter evenings and lighter weekends. Guard unlimited apps, set Morning / Afternoon / Evening windows, split weekdays from weekends, and see detailed session insights. TAKE A REAL BREAK Put your phone down for 10 minutes and we treat your next scroll as a fresh start — no instant nudge. We call it Rollover. We're not punishing you for stepping away. DoomGuard is for self-aware people who use social media for work, inspiration, and connection — but know when it's tipping into a doomscrolling spiral.

DoomStop is a free app that helps you break the doom-scrolling habit by making you physically earn access to distracting apps. Choose which apps to block, then set up your unlock method. Register an NFC tag and place it somewhere intentional — your gym bag, bookshelf, or desk at work. Tap it with your phone when you're back and ready. Or set a schedule to automatically lock and unlock apps at set times, no tag needed. How it works — Create a group of apps you want to block — Register an NFC tag or set a schedule — Lock the group when you want to focus — Tap your tag to unlock, or let your schedule do it Why DoomStop? Most screen time apps are easy to bypass. DoomStop uses a physical NFC tag as your key — a deliberate, real-world action that breaks the mindless reflex of picking up your phone. The friction is the feature. No account required. No data collected. Everything stays on your device.
