DTX Partner — Accountability for Digital Wellbeing
DTX Partner is the companion app for DTX, the app blocker built on real accountability. It's made for the accountability partner: the person who helps someone follow through on their commitment to use their phone with intention.
DTX works on one simple idea — blocks you can't bypass alone. When someone blocks distracting apps or websites in DTX, they can't force-stop, uninstall, or settings their way out of it. The only way to lift a block early is for their chosen partner to approve it. That's where you come in.
WHAT YOU DO WITH DTX PARTNER
Approve or deny unblock requests. When the person you support wants early access to something they've blocked, they send a request with their reason. You see it instantly and decide — a thoughtful pause between impulse and access.
See shared insights (only with their consent). If they choose to share, you can view their screen time, most-used apps, and a clear summary of blocked-access attempts — broken down by day, week, and month. You see nothing unless they turn sharing on, and they can turn it off anytime.
Understand the patterns. See how often blocked apps and sites are being reached for, so you can encourage progress and notice what's working. It's insight to support someone — not to monitor them.
Stay informed. Get notified about requests and block activity so you can respond when it matters, without constantly checking in.
SUPPORT, NOT CONTROL
DTX Partner is built to keep accountability calm and respectful. The person you support stays in control of what they share. You provide the gentle external check that turns "I'll stop later" into actually stopping. No nagging, no arguments — they request, you respond.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone helping another person build healthier digital habits — a partner, friend, family member, or accountability buddy. Wherever someone wants less time lost to distraction and more time on what matters, a DTX partner helps them get there.
HOW IT WORKS
The person you support installs DTX and adds you as their partner.
You install DTX Partner and accept the connection.
They set up their blocks and goals.
You approve or deny unblock requests, and — if they've shared it — view their insights.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your connection is private. Insights are shared only when the person explicitly enables sharing, and they can disable it at any time. All data is encrypted in transit. DTX Partner has no ads and is designed to be used briefly and purposefully — a tool for supporting someone, not another app to get lost in.
DTX Partner works only alongside the main DTX app. To begin, the person you're supporting should install DTX and invite you.
Real change is easier with someone in your corner.
Approve unblocks, view shared insights — help someone stick to their goals.
