No Babe

Read full description

Stop before the scroll starts. No Babe is the app blocker for the moments when you know you shouldn’t open it, but your thumb is already heading there. Block TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, shopping apps, or anything that pulls you into doomscrolling, comparison, checking, stalking, or another “just five minutes” spiral. Instead of immediately opening the app, No Babe steps in with a short intervention designed to help you pause and choose differently. CHOOSE HOW NO BABE STOPS YOU • Mirror Check — see yourself before the spiral starts • Breath Check — take a short breathing pause before continuing • Custom modes for boredom, comparison, sleep, mornings, shopping, and no-contact moments • Choose the apps you want to block • Set active times for each mode • Track your streaks, attempts, and better choices • Continue anyway when you genuinely need access No shame. No lectures. Just a stronger pause between the impulse and the decision. BUILT FOR THE MOMENTS WHEN YOU: • Open TikTok without thinking • Check an ex’s Instagram • Compare yourself online • Scroll when you should be sleeping • Browse shopping apps out of boredom • Promise yourself “five minutes” and lose an hour No Babe helps you protect the version of yourself you’re becoming. NO BABE PREMIUM No Babe is free to download. App blocking, custom modes, intervention screens, reminders, and progress tracking require a No Babe Premium subscription.
