π± You don't need to quit. You just need to use less.
Hard blocks and app locks only work until they don't.
MeBeforeApps works differently: a pause screen, every time you open a habit app.
Not cold turkey. Not willpower. Just one conscious choice, repeated.
Over days, your screen time naturally drops.
Over weeks, the doomscrolling habit rewires itself.
π‘ Mindful digital detox, not through blocking, but through awareness.
No hard rules. Just you, choosing a little better each time.
βΆ This app is for you if:
- You can't stop watching Reels or Shorts before bed (doomscrolling sound familiar?)
- You've lost hours to mindless scrolling and distraction without noticing
- You need to focus for exams, work, or something that matters
- You promise yourself "no social media today" β procrastination always wins
- You want digital wellbeing, but full blocking feels too extreme
β¨ How it works:
(1) Pick apps you open too often and set your daily goal.
Add Instagram, YouTube, or any distraction app β a pause screen appears every time you open them.
(2) On the pause screen, choose consciously.
π Hold On β Go back to home
π Just a Bit β Choose to proceed (5-30 min)
(3) Review your patterns in the timeline and app detail stats.
See each app's 120-day heatmap, last 7 days of real usage time,
and Insight cards that show when you slip into doomscrolling and when you hold back.
