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.

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, dโฒ, impulse control) in one report. DOPAMINE DETOX A 7-day Scroll Stop challenge. The multiplier grows daily โ ร5 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.
