Elqi is your digital companion that takes care of your screen time and tracks your dopamine. Elqi is the Duolingo for screen time and the Whoop for your brain.
With an automised setup Elqi makes sure that your time on your phone is minimised to the absolute necessary.
Hello Product Hunt Family!
Let me introduce you to: Elqi. Your digital companion that takes care of your screen time and tracks your dopamine. With an automised mechanism that ensures lower screen time, users will have to go through cognitive interventions before being able to open addictive apps.
Puzzles, meditations, custom videos and other cognitive exercises (that will be added) will make you refocus instead of doom scroll. At the same time we offer you insights into where your dopamine levels are, based on your daily usage.
We are keeping on building solutions, so follow us and give us your feedback!
Much Love,
The Elqi Team
It is a great mission, I do have a bit of cognitive dissonance with an Mobile app meant to make you look less at your mobile apps.
In that, the effort for choosing that app and doing the games rather than opening Reddit falls on the user anyway. I want to like it, so feel free to share a different perspective!
@jalcantara Hey Jorge, the games and mechanisms serve as interventions. A moment to reflect and refocus.
Elqi is not an app you choose but an app that intervenes automatically. It is not the user that needs to make the decision but Elqi will intervene regardless, basically managing your focus for you.
@mert_elqi Ah! Well that does sound more effective!
Will it send you a notification when you trigger certain thresholds on other apps? Or change automagically to the app (Is that even possible)?
Thanks!
@jalcantara You will get a daily budget per app based on your current usage. Now any time you want to open the app you will have to go through Elqi's interventions. After doing so you can pick your session length but you can not go over your daily budget.
And of course in the meantime Elqi tracks your dopamine so you can see the effects of your usage on your brain.
Congrats on the launch! Elqi sounds great for managing screen time and tracking dopamine. Like Duolingo and Whoop combined, it’s very innovative and helpful for brain health.
