Rewire
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most apps are built to keep you hooked. REWIRE is built to help you unhook. 30 days. One task per day. A real endpoint — not another subscription that keeps billing you. Each day, REWIRE gives you one small action that retrains how your brain responds to boredom and idle moments. No screen-time tracking. No permissions. No account required. Everything stays on your device. THE PROGRAM Week 1 — Remove: Break the automatic reach. Replace reflex with intention. Week 2 — Replace: Build a substitute for each craving trigger. Week 3 — Rebuild: Rediscover low-stimulation activities. Boredom stops feeling unbearable. Week 4 — Rewire: Lock in the new baseline. The urge to scroll gets quieter. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • One task per day — under 5 minutes to read • No tracking, no permissions, no data collected • One-time purchase — no recurring charges, ever • 30 days, then you're done. A finite challenge with a real endpoint • No account needed — everything lives on your device THE SCIENCE Dopamine sensitivity isn't fixed — it's trained. Every mindless phone reach reinforces a loop. REWIRE interrupts that loop with small, deliberate actions that rebuild your tolerance for ordinary, unstimulated moments. After 30 days: less compulsive checking. Better focus. A quieter baseline. Start free. Unlock the full 30-day program for a one-time payment.

Pick the apps that hook you, and the moment you open one the screen locks until you finish a quick set. No willpower required. Move first, scroll second. Set it once and forget it. Choose your apps, choose your reps, and let your camera do the counting. How it works +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ Lock the apps you overuse. When you reach for one, Push Up Scroll blocks it and asks for a quick set of push-ups. Your camera counts every rep in real time.
