Haserupt
Read full descriptionHide full description
You opened Instagram to reply to a message, opened X to check one notification, opened Reddit to look up one thing. Then, somehow, thirty minutes disappeared. Most screen time apps try to solve this with blockers, timers, or daily limits. They assume the problem is that these apps are too accessible. But that’s rarely what happens. You didn’t intend to spend half an hour scrolling. Somewhere along the way, your intention changed. Haserupt helps you hold on to that intention. Before opening a distracting app, Hase asks what you’re there to do. Whether you’re replying to messages, checking updates, or posting something, Hase gives you just enough time to finish your task. Afterwards, he helps you resist the urge to jump right back in, making it easier to avoid another endless scrolling session. It doesn’t stop you from using your favourite apps. It helps you stop using them without meaning to. Over time, Hase gets to know your habits, celebrates your progress, and gently nudges you back on track whenever your attention starts to drift. Instead of feeling like another app that’s trying to control you, Hase feels like a companion who’s quietly cheering you on. With Haserupt, you can: • Leave social media when you planned to. • Spend less time falling into endless feeds. • Stay connected without relying on strict blockers or daily limits. • Build healthier screen habits that actually last. • See your relationship with your phone improve over time. Because the problem was never opening the app. It was forgetting why you opened it in the first place. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Do something good. Then scroll. ScreenFox makes you earn your screen time, together with Foxy, a little fox who needs your help. Do 10 push-ups. Go for a walk. Make your bed. Drink a glass of water. Finally touch some grass. • Real life earns Foxy hearts. • Hearts unlock TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, games or any app you choose. Out of hearts? Your apps stay locked. You don't have to delete your apps. You just earn them. WHY WILLPOWER ISN'T ENOUGH Screen time limits? You tap "ignore". App blockers? You delete them. Deleting the apps? You download them again. It's not your fault. These apps are built by huge teams with one job: keeping you scrolling. That's not a fair fight. So ScreenFox changes the rules: Do something good → +1 heart Open a distracting app → −1 heart PROOF, NOT PROMISES Foxy doesn't just take your word for it. • Push-ups and squats are counted with your camera • Walks are measured with GPS and your step counter • Quests like making your bed are checked with a photo • Quizzes need 5 right answers All checks run on your iPhone. Your photos and routes never leave it. WAYS TO EARN A HEART • Focus: study, read, work or meditate while your apps stay blocked. Up to 3 hearts per session. • Quiz: math, geography, trivia • Exercise: push-ups, squats, a walk • Quests: make your bed, drink water, smile, tidy your desk, step outside, touch grass • Journal: mood check-in, gratitude journal WHAT CHANGES • Every app open becomes a choice, not a reflex • The thing you said you'd do happens first • Fewer late-night scrolls • Your phone becomes a tool again MEET FOXY Foxy lives in a little forest inside the app. Earn hearts and he's happy. Spend them all on scrolling and he gets tired and sad. And before you open a locked app, he'll ask: "Hmm, are you sure?" HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that steal your time 2. Pick a task: quiz, workout, walk, quest, journal or focus session 3. Prove it and earn a heart 4. Spend a heart to open an app for a few minutes Do something good. Earn a heart. Then scroll.
