DoomStroll is the screen time control app that doesn't lecture you. It just locks the apps you can't stop opening, until you've walked enough steps to earn them back. 500 steps earns 1 Doom Scroll, worth 15 minutes of unlocked screen time. Walk to stack them up. Burn one when you actually want to scroll. When the 15 minutes is up, the apps lock again. How it works 1. Pick the apps that own your attention. 2. Walk. Your phone is already counting your steps. DoomStroll just gives them a job. 3. Earned screen time stacks up as Doom Scrolls in your Scroll Stash. 4. Burn a scroll when you want to use a blocked app. You get 15 minutes. 5. When the window closes, the apps lock again. Walk more, scroll more. Why this works when "screen time limits" don't Apple's built-in limits run on willpower. Tap "Ignore Limit," they're gone. DoomStroll doesn't ask you to resist. It asks you to walk. The cost of doomscrolling is just one step in front of the other, repeated until you've earned it. Most days you'll walk more than you used to. Some days you won't. Either way, you'll know exactly what your scrolling is costing you. What's inside - Block any apps using Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls - Steps tracked via Apple Health (read-only, we don't write anything) - Earn skulls (achievements) for hitting goals and streaks and other stats - No account required: onboarding answers, step history, and blocking settings stay on your device - Anonymous usage analytics help us improve the app; no personal data, no tracking, no selling Important DoomStroll is not a medical device. It's a screen time control app that ties your habits to your steps. If you have a health condition that affects walking or movement, talk to a doctor before changing your activity level. DoomStroll Pro subscription required after onboarding. 7-day free trial on Monthly and Yearly plans. The DoomStroll Pro subscription auto-renews until cancelled in Settings.

Lakoom
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lakoom is an alarm clock that won't turn off until you're actually up. Instead of snoozing, you get a mission: do push-ups, photograph the sky, solve a math problem, or say the morning prayer out loud. The alarm only stops when the mission is done. Lakoom is built for people who set five alarms and sleep through all of them, who lose half an hour to snooze every morning, and who just want the day to start on time, without a fight. How Lakoom works: 1. Choose a mission before bed 2. The alarm rings in the morning 3. It only stops once the mission is complete 12 missions to choose from: - Modeh Ani: say the morning prayer out loud, and watch the words light up as you go - Push-ups and squats: the camera counts your reps - Sky photo: step outside, take the shot, you're up - Make your bed: photograph it made - Touch grass: light, air and movement in one go - Item roulette: a different object from your home to find and photograph each morning - Math, memory game, speed typing, shake the phone - Surprise: a different mission every morning, so your brain never gets used to it Why Lakoom wakes you when others don't: - A real alarm, not a notification: rings through Silent mode, Focus and the lock screen - It doesn't give up: close the app and it rings again within seconds, again and again, until you're up - Loud: the volume goes to max the moment the alarm rings - 70+ sounds in five categories: classic, gentle, energetic, funny and extreme - Streaks and insights: see when you actually got up, how long it took, and where you broke Privacy: No ads, no selling your data. Mission photos are used only to verify the mission. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED After you complete the short setup questions, an active Lakoom subscription is required to set alarms and use missions. It unlocks every mission, every sound and the insights. Weekly or yearly, auto-renewing, cancel anytime. Ideas or questions?
