Your phone habits have a cost you can't feel in the moment, but Yeti can show you. Meet your tiny time guardian: a companion whose feelings reflect your screen time choices in real time. Yeti isn't another blocker or clinical dashboard. It's the first screen time app that pairs real phone usage tracking with an emotional character you actually care about - so you change your habits because you want to, not because you're locked out. HOW YETI WORKS 1) Pick the apps you want to manage (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, or anything else that eats your time). 2) Set a daily target for each one. 3) Yeti takes it from there. When you open a shielded app, Yeti doesn't block you. Instead, it gently asks: "Hey! Can we chat first?" You decide how long you need and you can always say "I'm good, actually" and move on. Every session is your choice. While you're using an app, a persistent timer keeps you aware of the time passing. When you stay within your targets, Yeti is happy. When you go over, Yeti shows you through its own feelings what that choice costs. AN EMOTIONAL MIRROR, NOT A CHART Yeti has five emotional states that shift with your behavior, from content and cheerful to visibly upset. You're not reading a screen time report. You're seeing the impact on a companion who cares about you. That's the difference between a number you ignore and a feeling you can't. A NUDGE, NOT A LOCK Most screen time apps punish you with restrictions that you eventually resent and bypass. Yeti takes a different approach: awareness before action. You always have agency. Every time you choose less, it feels like a real win, because it is one. WIRED INTO YOUR ACTUAL BEHAVIOR Unlike pet apps where the character lives in its own world, Yeti is connected to your real phone usage. It tracks per-app daily targets, monitors sessions in real time, and reacts to what you actually do and not what you tell it you did. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE TRIED EVERYTHING You've tried Screen Time limits and bypassed them in seconds. You've deleted apps and re-downloaded them by lunch. You've gone cold turkey and collapsed. Yeti is for people who know willpower alone doesn't work and are ready for something that does.

Your phone gets picked up about 85 times a day. Doug is here to change that. Flip your phone face down and Doug starts digging. The longer you stay off your phone, the deeper he digs and the rarer the gems he brings back. Ready to make your scroll time earn its keep? Start your first focus session today. HOW DOUG WORKS Doug is a grumpy little digger who only works when you don't. Put your phone face down to start a focus session and he grabs his helmet and heads underground. Every distraction-free minute takes him deeper. Come back to gems, streaks, and a wall of rare finds. EARN YOUR SCROLL Doug flips the deal you have with your phone. Distracting apps stay locked until you put in focus time. The gems Doug digs up are your currency: spend them to unlock TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube for exactly as long as you choose. No willpower required, just a fair trade. BLOCK THE APPS THAT EAT YOUR TIME - Block distracting apps and whole categories with Apple's Screen Time framework - Build custom groups like Entertainment or Social and lock them together - Spend gems on 5, 15, or 30 minute breaks; every break relocks on its own - Bedtime keeps distracting apps locked overnight, from lights out to wake up STAY ON TRACK - Lock screen widget shows Doug digging in real time, so unlocking your phone means interrupting him - Anti-scroll notifications step in when a break is about to end - Streaks and milestones keep your progress visible - Emergency unlock for the moments that matter, three a month WHY IT WORKS Getting back on track after an interruption takes about 23 minutes. Doug adds just enough friction to make you pause before the tap, and just enough reward to make staying off feel like winning. No guilt, no shame. Just a small friend who digs while you live your life. PRIVATE & SECURE Doug runs on Apple's Screen Time framework. Your activity stays on your device and is never sold or shared. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU Questions, ideas, or a bug to report? Reach us any time at info@strivexai.co. Doug reads everything, slowly, with a shovel in one paw.
