Dopa Toll vs Scroll Brake

Dopa Toll shows what the time you lose to distracting apps is worth, in dollars, at your own hourly rate, and itemizes it like a bill. The dollars are a mirror, not a charge. The toll is coins, earned by focusing. Set your hourly rate. Every minute in Instagram, X, or TikTok is shown as what that time is worth. "$47 of your time this week" reads differently than "7 hours." The Today screen is a statement. The Stats screen is a year-end review. It's a toll, not a blocker. You can always get through. You pay, and you see the price first. THREE WAYS APPS HANDLE THIS: WE'RE THE THIRD Block it (you'll just unblock it). Earn a reward (you stop caring about the tree). Dopa Toll charges a toll: a small daily free pass on each app, then every open has a visible cost. HOW IT WORKS Set your limits Pick the apps that distract you and set a daily time cap. Each app gets a small daily free pass. Under the cap, opens are free. Past it, every open costs coins. See the cost at the moment you open Hit the cap and the app locks. The unlock screen shows that time in real dollars at your rate before you decide, not a week later. Then the charge lands on Today's bill, itemized, line by line. Spend coins to pass The longer the unlock, the more coins per minute. Honest economy. 5 min = 15 coins. 10 min = 35. 15 min = 60. Lock back early and unused coins are refunded. Earn coins by focusing 25-minute Pomodoro sessions earn coins. First session: 10. Sessions 2-4: 5 each. Session 5: a 15-coin milestone. Every morning starts you at 30 coins minimum. You're never completely stuck. WHY IT WORKS Most focus apps make a deal you'll break. "Just block it." → you unblock it. "Earn a tree." → you don't care about the tree. Dopa Toll bets on a number you actually feel: the real value of your own time, shown at the moment you decide, then itemized on a receipt the next morning. You decide if it's worth it. BUILT WITH SAFETY NETS Friction, not punishment. A daily free pass on every app. Walk away from any unlock screen with Stay Strong. No cost. Lock back early for a refund of unused coins. A 30-coin daily floor so you're never completely stuck. It charges in coins, not real money. The dollar figures are your own time valued at your own rate, a mirror, not a price tag. Free to download.

Scroll Brake helps you manage your screen time and stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. The app's goal is not to strictly ban apps or forcibly restrict your time on social media. The real goal is to turn mindless tapping into a conscious choice rather than an automatic reaction. The concept is straightforward: once your daily limit for an app or website runs out, access is paused behind a quick math problem. To continue using the app, solve the equation in your head. That brief pause gives you just enough time to reset. You can make this conscious choice anywhere — on public transit, in meetings, or in quiet rooms — completely discreetly and without disturbing anyone. No awkward physical exercises, loud alarms, or barcode scanning: just a few seconds of quiet mental focus. If you opened the app out of boredom, you can easily put your phone down. If you genuinely need it for work or communication, solve the puzzle and continue. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps and websites you want to limit. 2. Set your daily time allowance. 3. When time expires, Scroll Brake shields the screen with a math problem. 4. Solve the equation to unlock access. PRO TIP: SPLIT LIMITS & STRICT MODE Instead of one broad 1-hour limit, set a 10-minute session interval and cap daily unlocks at 6 in Strict Mode. You still get that same hour, but every 10 minutes a math puzzle breaks the endless feed hypnosis. Once those 6 unlocks are used up, the app stays firmly locked until tomorrow. KEY FEATURES • Adaptive Math Difficulty Equations adjust to your mental calculation speed. You can calibrate the baseline difficulty during setup — from quick single-step arithmetic to more challenging puzzles. • Strict Mode Need an unyielding barrier? Set a daily cap on unlock attempts. Once you reach it, apps are strictly locked until tomorrow, with no way to solve your way in. • Conscious Choice Anywhere No awkward tasks, loud sounds, or scanning barcodes. Solving an equation in your head takes seconds and allows you to make an intentional choice in any setting — on transit, at work, or at home — without disturbing anyone. • Daily Discipline, No Weekday Exceptions There are deliberately no day-of-week schedules. Bad habits don’t follow a work calendar: restricting screen time Monday to Friday only to binge all weekend won’t break the loop. Scroll Brake keeps your focus consistent every day. • App & Website Limits Limit individual apps, categories, or infinite scroll websites in Safari. • Screen Time Stats Keep track of your daily progress and see how much intentional focus time you gain back each week. • Privacy & Battery Efficiency Built directly on Apple's native Screen Time API: highly optimized, zero background battery drain, and no tracking. All calculations and statistics stay strictly on your device. • Zero Push Notifications Scroll Brake never requests notification permissions. It is built for uninterrupted quiet and focus, so it will never spam you with push alerts, sounds, or reminders. Spend your attention on what genuinely matters. Download Scroll Brake and make phone use intentional again.
