Description
Stop doomscrolling. Start living. Control Dopamine helps you build healthier screen-time habits by turning screen time into something you earn — not something that controls you.
Your phone wasn't designed to let you go. Every notification, every infinite scroll, every autoplay video is designed to keep you hooked. Control Dopamine fights back with habit-building gamification that makes healthy routines more rewarding than mindless scrolling.
HOW IT WORKS
Block the apps stealing your time — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, X (Twitter), Facebook, and more. Then earn "brain credits" by doing activities that actually make you feel good:
• Meditation & mindfulness sessions
• Reading real books
• Exercise & walking
• Journaling & reflection
• Time in nature
Spend your earned credits to temporarily unlock blocked apps. You stay in control — your brain gets the break it needs.
