Blocking apps feels like punishment. DOPPY makes beating your screen time a game. You’ve tried the blockers. You deleted them. They felt like a chore, they were easy to ignore, and they made cutting screen time feel like a punishment. DOPPY flips that. DOPPY turns reducing your screen time into a game you actually want to play. Stay off the apps that drain your day and you earn spins, rewards, and streaks. Your focus powers a character that levels up with you. Less doomscrolling, more dopamine — from the right place. WHY DOPPY IS DIFFERENT • Rewards, not punishment — make spins and unlock quick real world tasks for staying focused. • A focus buddy — your DOPPY character grows as your screen time shrinks. • Streaks that stick — build momentum day after day so the habit actually lasts. • Real blocking — lock distracting apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube when you need to focus. • See your wins — watch the hours you reclaim add up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your time. 2. Set your focus goals. 3. Stay off, keep your streak alive. 4. Complete real world quest to get access to blocked app. Whether you’re fighting doomscrolling, building better habits, studying, or just trying to take back control of your day — DOPPY makes it feel less like willpower and more like a win. Download DOPPY and turn screen time into a game you win. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Read full description

Dial Down gives you an easy way to limit time-wasting apps to one use per day. Pick a per-day duration for each app and you'll be prompted before you can open it. Once you open the app, you're limited to the time you chose — whether you close it early or not. After that, the app is blocked for the rest of the day, no way around it. Free, no ads, and no data collection. In-app purchases are enabled for donations only.
