You said one minute. It's been an hour. TapJail locks the apps you can't stop opening. The only way out is 100 taps. And every time you break out, the price goes up. Set a daily budget for the apps that eat your time. When it runs out, TapJail locks them. To get back in, open TapJail and tap a red circle โ€” 100 times. No bypass. No grace period. No shortcut. Most of the time, 100 taps will change your mind. You'll put the phone down. That's the design working. When it's actually worth it โ€” when you need in โ€” you tap 100 times and you get 15 more minutes. Now here's what makes it expensive. THE ESCALATING TAP COST Every time you break out, the next breakout costs more. First time: 100 taps โ€” 15 minutes. Second: 200 taps โ€” 15 minutes. Third: 400 taps โ€” 15 minutes. Fourth: 800 taps โ€” 15 minutes. Every one after that: 1,000 taps โ€” 15 minutes. By the third breakout you have tapped 700 times to spend 45 extra minutes in an app you set out to limit. TapJail is designed to let you do it. It just makes sure you feel the cost first. Budget and tap count reset at midnight. Every day starts clean. THE RESET Leave Tap Prison before you finish? Progress resets to zero. No partial credit. No recovery. Start over from the beginning. This is not a flaw in the design. It is the design. HOW IT WORKS Authorize Screen Time. Pick the apps TapJail blocks. Set your daily budget. When the limit hits, the apps lock. Want in? Open TapJail and tap your way out. FEATURES โ€” Block any app, category, or web domain โ€” Shared daily budget across every selected app โ€” Escalating tap cost: 100 โ€” 200 โ€” 400 โ€” 800 โ€” 1,000 โ€” 15 minutes of access per completed breakout โ€” Live tap requirement shown on the block screen โ€” Ruthless reset if you leave before you finish โ€” No accounts. No cloud sync. Nothing stored off your device. PRIVACY TapJail uses Apple's Screen Time APIs. Your app usage data stays entirely on your device. We never see it, store it, or share it. There is no account to create. There is nothing to sync. TapJail is not a wellness app. It is not going to tell you great job or adjust to your mood. It is a lock with an escalating cost to open it.

Doomed is the screen time app that actually shames you off the apps eating your life. Pick your worst offenders (TikTok, Instagram, Reels, X, whatever), set a daily limit, and Doomed arms Apple's blocking engine. Burn through your limit and a shield slams down over the app. Calm the first time. Meaner the fifth. "GO TO BED" at 1am. How it works: - Choose the apps and sites to gate with Apple's Screen Time picker - Set a daily limit and how hard the gate fights back - Hit the wall and face a challenge before you can keep scrolling - Beat the gate and Doomed roasts you for the time you just torched - Track your streak and daily gate activity - Report any roast you don't like, right in the app Doomed Pro is a required auto-renewable subscription to unlock the app. New subscribers get 50% off: - Doomed Pro Monthly: $3.99/month for the first 3 months, then $7.99/month - Doomed Pro Annual: $24.99 for the first year, then $49.99/year Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Each subscription automatically renews for the same period and price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Doomed is a self-control aid, not medical or mental-health advice. Blocking depends on Screen Time access and can be turned off in iOS Settings. Roasts are intentionally savage but contain no profanity, sexual, or violent content (server-moderated); rated 13+.
