We all use our phones more than we should and setting app time limits doesn’t work. We just override it and get back to scrolling. ScreenZen for iOS uses rewards, gamification and awareness to help you build a balanced relationship with your phone that lasts.
Hi Product Hunt!
I built ScreenZen because I couldn’t stop compulsively using my phone during quarantine, even after watching “The Social Dilemma”. I tried setting time limits, kept my phone in a drawer and tested apps on the App Store, but nothing seemed to work. I decided to build something to solve my own problem.
What I landed on was an iOS app that relies on awareness (logging your distracting apps on a daily basis) and gamification (streaks, badges, etc). I use it daily and have found that I have drastically improved how I use my phone. I’m excited to share it with everyone. I believe that the same model that has worked for diet apps can also work to improve phone use.
This is my first release as an indie developer, so I would appreciate any feedback from the community. Please check it out! At least initially, it’s completely FREE.
Sorry android users, I built it with Swift because I had to use some custom iOS functionality. But if there’s enough support, I will definitely make an android version :)
