About this app

Ever opened your phone “just for a minute”… and lost 40?

AppDose shows your screen time while you’re using your phone, not hidden inside dashboards.

No blocks. No forced limits. Just awareness.


AppDose is a real-time screen time mirror that stays visible while you use your phone.

Instead of checking reports later, you see time passing right now — gently reminding you to pause, reflect, or continue consciously.

No app blocking.
No forced limits.
No guilt.

Just awareness.

✅ Why AppDose works

Most screen time apps show numbers after the damage is done.

AppDose works during usage, when habits are actually formed.

That tiny timer is often enough to make you think:
“Is this still worth my time?”
