DoomSafe is the ultimate digital wellbeing tool designed to cure doomscrolling. Total app blockers don't work because you still need to use your apps for messaging and essential tasks. DoomSafe gives you the perfect balance. Through smart local web filtering, DoomSafe lets you access your favorite social networks but automatically hides the infinite scroll, For You pages, and short videos (like Reels or Shorts), keeping the rest of the apps completely intact. KEY FEATURES: Essentials Intact Access Instagram, X, YouTube and Facebook. We remove recommendations, explore pages, ads, and short videos, leaving the posts from people you follow, Stories and your Direct Messages (DMs) fully operational. Dopamine-Reducing Filters Turn the interface to Grayscale or apply a Blue Light filter to make social media less stimulating for your brain. Session Limits Set strict timers for your visits. Once your time is up, DoomSafe helps you leave. Clean Home Screen Widgets Launch directly into your distraction-free apps right from your home screen. Privacy by Design DoomSafe acts as a secure local wrapper. We do not track your keystrokes, save your cookies, or read your messages. Everything happens on your device.

Take back your time. Blockr is a screen time app for people who are done pretending. No streaks. No cute mascots. No pretending you only used Instagram for "15 minutes today." Set a daily limit for the apps that are stealing your life. Watch the visual decay every minute you go over. Feel it. Then close the app and go do something that actually matters. FEATURES App Limiter Set a daily time budget for the apps killing your focus. Pick the apps, set the minutes, done. When you go over, the app gets limited and you see it — clearly, in real time, with no way to pretend it isn't happening. Schedules Block apps automatically at the times of day you keep losing. Mornings before you've started work. Evenings when you should be asleep. Set it once and let the schedule do the discipline for you. Focus Mode A no-mercy block for when you actually need to lock in. Pick the apps, and they're gone until you are done. No "just five minutes" loophole. Save modes for easy access later. Quick Block One tap. Apps blocked instantly for as long as you choose. For the moments you feel yourself reaching for the phone and want to stop the loop before it starts. Analytics Comparisons and context that don't lie. See where your hours are actually going and how it stacks up against what you said you wanted. In-depth app usage. Track your days, weeks, months and years. Focus Feed When you need to scroll, scroll through something that sharpens you instead of dulling you. A curated stream of quotes on philosophy, life, and the ideas worth sitting with.
