FreeBrain : Pause Écran Détox

Eliott Moulin

About this app

You open your phone for a message, and 40 minutes later you realize you're scrolling through Reels for no reason. Not out of laziness. Because it's designed to do that.

FreeBrain inserts a few seconds' pause before each distracting app. Not a block. A gentle friction that lets you choose.

HOW IT WORKS

You choose your addictive apps (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit) and adjust 3 settings per app:

1. Delay before opening
A few seconds' pause before the app opens. Time to ask yourself why you're opening it.

2. Maximum session time
You decide how long you can stay on an app at one time. No more 5 minutes that feel like 45.

3. Opens per day
You set a maximum number of opens per day. Once you reach that limit, the app is paused until tomorrow.

Concrete example: 8 seconds of waiting, 8 minutes max per session, 6 openings per day.

YOUR BRAIN, IN 5 STATES

FreeBrain displays a brain mascot that evolves according to your 7-day average:

- Dying: 4+ hours per day, overloaded
- Exhausted: 3 hours, chronic fatigue
- Tired: 2 hours, okay
- Energetic: 1.5 hours, balanced
- On top: less than 1 hour, brain breathing

It's not a moralizing score. It's a mirror.

WHY IT WORKS

Blocking apps punish you. Trackers show you the damage without doing anything. FreeBrain strikes a balance: a few seconds of friction is enough to break the automatic behavior. 45% fewer compulsive openings immediately after setup.
