About this app

**Red Screen — Stop Doomscrolling, Reduce Screen Time & Reclaim Your Focus**

Tired of losing hours to short videos and endless feeds? Red Screen is the free focus app that breaks the scroll cycle with a simple red overlay — making your phone instantly less addictive.

**Why does it work?**
Red triggers a "stop" signal in your brain. It reduces appetite, curbs impulsive behavior, and breaks the dopamine loop that keeps you scrolling. Red Screen uses this science-backed trick to help you disconnect when you need it most.

**How Red Screen works**
• Tap to activate a full-screen red overlay — instant doomscroll blocker
• Adjust intensity from subtle tint to deep crimson red filter
• Set a screen time timer — overlay fades when your break ends
• Enable grayscale mode for maximum disincentive
• Schedule auto-activation during work, study, or bedtime

**Top features**
• **Doomscroll blocker** — red overlay makes content less engaging
• **Red filter & color therapy** — adjustable warmth for eye comfort
• **Quick settings tile** — one-tap activation from notification panel
• **Minimal battery drain** — lightweight, no background drain
• **Works offline, no account needed** — zero friction, instant start

**Who needs Red Screen?**
• Anyone who doomscrolls TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, or Twitter
• Students who need focus tools for studying
• Parents who want a screen time limiter for kids
• Anyone trying to reduce phone addiction and build digital minimalism
• People who scroll before bed and want better sleep habits

**Why Red Screen is different**
• No account, no sign-up, no personal data collection
• No internet permission — your usage stays private
• No ads, no tracking, no analytics
• Open-source and transparent
• Designed for one job and does it well

**How to use Red Screen**
1. Open the app and set your overlay intensity
2. Your screen turns red — the urge to scroll fades
3. Set a timer or swipe to dismiss when you're done
4. Check your weekly stats to see progress

**Download Red Screen now — the free, simple way to stop doomscrolling and take back control of your screen time.**
