Use case

A dopamine detox app with a direction, not just a ban.

Set a daily allowance for the apps that distract you. Completing planned actions earns extra minutes. When the allowance runs out, selected apps pause until midnight unless you earn more time. Available on iPhone and Android; Android requires Usage Access and Accessibility permissions.

Give feed apps a daily allowance, then earn more time with completed actions.

Why it matters

An empty detox relapses. A detox with a project doesn't have to.

Cutting the cheap stimulation creates a vacuum, and the vacuum is exactly where most detoxes die — by evening you're bored, restless, and one tap from starting over. The fix isn't more discipline. It's filling the space on purpose: a goal you care about, broken into actions small enough to do on a low-dopamine day.

Lock the high-stimulation apps instead of renegotiating with them nightly.
Give each day a few concrete actions that fill the freed-up hours.
Let completing them — not white-knuckling — be how the day ends well.
