The intention of spending "just 5 minutes" on an app turns into an hour of scrolling.
It's not a lack of willpower, it's an automatic habit.
ScreenQuest is an app and website blocker that uses mini-games and a leaderboard with friends to help you reduce your screen time. The only blocker you won't uninstall after 3 days.
Here's how it works:
1. FRICTION THROUGH GAME (CONSCIOUSNESS)
Traditional blockers fail because they're frustrating. ScreenQuest uses a neuro-ergonomic approach: The Effort Barrier.
To open your targeted apps, you have to complete a mini-game (Snake, Memory, etc.).
🧠 The Brain Hack: By requiring a small mental effort before the reward, we bypass the dopamine circuit.
🛡️ The Reflex Filter: This "entry cost" acts as a powerful filter. If you truly need to open the app, you'll play and move on. But if it was just an automatic impulse (90% of the time), your brain will refuse to make the effort for such a small thing. The urge disappears instantly.
2. THE FRIENDS RANKING (RESPONSIBILITY)
It's proven: we rarely keep our promises to ourselves, but we hate to disappoint our friends.
🚀 Live Leaderboard: See your screen time compared to that of your friends. This simple transparency creates a natural motivation to reduce your usage.
👁️ Daily Reveal (90s): Once a day, you can discover which app your friend used most that day. This adds a bit of spice to the rankings; the goal is no longer just to be number one, but also to avoid having the worst app (for example, 2 hours on TikTok)!
💬 Signals & Reactions Forget "likes." Here, we send signals. Send a sticker/reaction to your friends (examples: a "GIGACHAD" sticker to congratulate your friend, a "GO OUTSIDE"/"Go touch some grass" sticker when your friend is overusing their phone).
WHY SCREENQUEST?
Because negative and solitary digital detoxes rarely work in the long run. By combining a barrier to entry (games) and healthy social pressure (your friends), you finally build a system capable of competing against algorithms.
Stop being passive. Take back control.
Reduce your screen time. Protect your attention. Stay connected to your friends, for real.
