The protocol
A fourteen-day reset, built like a piece of hardware.
One decision up front, four phases your brain actually goes through, one new baseline at the end.
Choose the apps that own your evenings.
Connect Screen Time. Pick your apps. LOCK IN binds them at the OS level. There is no toggle to turn this off mid-detox. You knew that going in.
Note · Most people underestimate their daily screen time by 50%. The real number is usually a wake-up call.
Your brain notices.
Restlessness, phantom buzzes, the urge to check things that aren't there. This is your dopamine system asking for its old habit. Echo and the I'm Bored menu route you somewhere useful instead.
Note · The pull peaks around minute ten and fades. By day five most people stop reaching for the phone in elevators.
The world gets quieter.
Time stretches. Boredom comes back, which is a feature, not a bug. You finish a book. You go for a walk without filming it.
Note · Earn dopamine the hard way. Logged effortful actions stack up, rebuilding a non-screen reward baseline.
You get 10 minutes.
After the 14 days, you get 10 minutes shared across all blocked apps. Distribute your time however you want. You stay in control.
Note · The goal is not zero phone use. It is intentional use. You are in control.
The decision
You already decided this matters.
The next two weeks are going to happen either way. Either with the apps, or without them. Pick once.
Free to start. iPhone only for now. Google Play later in 2026.
