What it is
An app that blocks short-video feeds and other chosen apps on a schedule, with a small task to pass before unlocking. It is for students and working adults who lose hours to endless scrolling and want something firmer than a reminder.
Why it looks interesting
A number of new apps are tackling endless short-video scrolling, so people clearly feel the problem, though the signal is still early. The topic is widely discussed among students and parents, which gives a simple message to build on.
How it makes money
A yearly subscription with a basic free blocker.
Apps to study
Watch out
On iOS this needs Apple's Screen Time entitlement, which takes time to get approved, and accessibility-based blocking on Android gets close review. Be careful with any promise of curing addiction.
