People don't lose hours to their phones. They lose weeks, months, and years. Luaro helps you earn your screen time. Distracting apps stay locked until you complete productive habits โ€” then you spend only the time you've earned. Unlike traditional app blockers, Luaro ties access to something you did on purpose. You create Rules for what stays blocked, earn screen time by completing habits, and open those apps only when the time is yours. EARN SCREEN TIME: Log a habit. Add to your balance. Spend it on the apps you chose to lock. Rules in Earn mode stay locked until your balance covers the unlock, and that time comes off your balance when you open them. FEATURES โ€ข Block distracting apps, categories, and websites โ€ข Earn screen time by completing productive habits โ€ข Create custom friction before an unlock โ€ข Change the order and duration of the friction steps โ€ข Schedule the friction โ€ข Schedule the blocks โ€ข Set usage limits โ€ข Set a delay for editing or deleting Rules, so bypassing them takes longer โ€ข Limit unlock duration โ€ข Limit daily unblocks โ€ข Set a grayscale requirement to unblock apps โ€ข Get a notification before Luaro re-blocks apps โ€ข View detailed screen time reports โ€ข Filter apps in your reports โ€ข Track app usage, pick-ups, and notifications โ€ข Visualize your screen time with Life in Weeks โ€ข See long-term screen time projections FRICTION STEPS โ€ข Breathing exercises: 5 modes โ€ข Physical exercise: 6 options โ€ข Reflection Message: read any text you write โ€ข Typed Phrase: type any text you write โ€ข Written Reflection: 4 exercises โ€ข Life in Weeks visualization โ€ข Media: a photo or video you add SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Your daily screen time adds up. Luaro shows where your time goes, and what the months and years ahead look like if nothing changes. Earn mode turns that into a daily trade: do something that matters, then spend the time you earned. Whether you want less time on social media, fewer distractions, or more control over your attention, every unlock is a decision you worked for. PERFECT FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO โ€ข Earn screen time instead of opening apps on autopilot โ€ข Take control of daily screen time โ€ข Block addictive apps and websites โ€ข Build habits that pay off in attention โ€ข Improve deep focus and productivity โ€ข Reduce phone addiction and dopamine loops โ€ข Shift toward conscious daily behavior Take control of your attention today.

Can't put the phone down, can't start, can't keep going once you do? NeuroFix is a focus and habit app built for scattered minds. No guilt, no pressure โ€” just tools that work the way your brain does. DOPAMINE SCORE Compare the "junk" dopamine from social media with the "organic" kind you earn from focus, movement, and finished tasks โ€” in one score. It's earned: it climbs as you hit your weekly volume and clean up your ratio. FOCUS SESSIONS Four modes from a 12-minute Sprint to a 90-minute Flow. Tell us your energy level and we'll plan around you. Optionally show up in the community while you focus โ€” so others can join you (body doubling). COGNITIVE TRAINING Six tasks adapted from attention paradigms used in clinics: Sustained Attention, Stop Signal, Flanker, N-Back, Corsi Span, and Stroop. Track your response consistency โ€” the metric that matters โ€” not just a score. WEEKLY FOCUS REPORT Your brain this week: score trend, organic vs junk hours, streak, and deep metrics (response variability, dโ€ฒ, impulse control) in one report. DOPAMINE DETOX A 7-day Scroll Stop challenge. The multiplier grows daily โ€” ร—5 on day seven. A STREAK THAT FORGIVES Missing one day doesn't break your streak: you get one automatic freeze per week. Goals count at "5 of 7" โ€” perfection not required. GOALS & MICRO-WINS Break big tasks into small wins. The task of the day matches your energy. COMMUNITY Chat with people on the same road, and focus together. Premium unlocks deep brain metrics, unlimited history, and personal coaching. Core features are free; no account needed, your data stays on your device. Note: NeuroFix is not a medical product and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. Content and metrics are for personal development and information only.
