EscapeLoop helps you break the doom-scrolling loop with calm, intentional friction. Choose the apps that pull you in, set daily tasks that matter, and create a personal “Why” page with your own motivation, photo, and reminders. When distractions are blocked, EscapeLoop gives you a mindful pause instead of a shame-based warning. Built with Apple’s Screen Time tools, EscapeLoop helps you protect your focus while keeping everything private and local to your device. Features Block distracting apps using iOS Screen Time controls Create daily or one-time tasks to finish before scrolling Add your personal “Why” for motivation Pause shields briefly when needed Track today’s focus, tasks, and unlock time Customize soft or strict focus modes Private by design, with no account required EscapeLoop is not about guilt. It is about making the better choice easier to remember. Take back five minutes, then another.
