About this app

Your apps are using you. Take back control.

Habit Doom locks your favorite apps - Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, and more — until you earn screen time by completing real habits. No willpower needed. Just lock the apps, earn the time.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose which apps to block
2. Create habits you actually want to build
3. Complete habits to earn screen time
4. Use your earned time however you want
5. When time runs out, apps lock again

FEATURES
• App Blocker — Apps stay locked until you earn time by completing habits. No cheating, no workarounds.
• Flexible Habits — Track anything: exercise, reading, meditation, water, journaling, studying.
• Earn Screen Time — Every check-in earns minutes. Pause the timer, save time, or use it all at once.
• Anti-Cheat Mode — Photo verify each habit with on-device AI. Photos never leave your phone. 100% secure.
• Streaks & Progress — Build daily streaks. View weekly stats: completion rates, time earned, check-in history.
• Hard Mode — Can't undo check-ins, delete habits, or remove apps. For those who are serious.
• Vacation Mode — Unlock all apps without breaking streaks when you need a day off.
• Widgets — See habits and remaining time on your home screen and lock screen.
• Privacy First — All personal data stays on your device. No account. No servers.

WHY HABIT DOOM?
Most habit trackers rely on motivation. Motivation fades. Habit Doom uses something stronger: your screen time addiction. Lock the apps you crave behind real habits, and your biggest distraction becomes your biggest motivator.

SOME INTERESTING GLOBAL STATS ON SCREENTIME:
• The average American spends over 4 hours a day on their phone. Over a lifetime, that's more than a decade of waking life — gone to a screen.
• Canadians average over 6 hours of daily screen time — most of it on apps designed to keep them scrolling. Habit Doom locks those apps until you earn the time back.
• Australians spend an average of 5.5 hours a day on their phones — almost 17 years of a lifetime, gone to a screen (Reviews.org). Habit Doom locks those apps until you earn the time back.
• European smartphone users average 3–4 hours a day on their phones — and the under-30s are well past 5. Over a lifetime, that's a decade of waking hours, scrolled away.

IMPORTANT - ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE

Habit Doom uses the Android AccessibilityService API to power its core feature: blocking distracting apps until you have earned screen time by checking in on your habits.

What it accesses: the package name of the app currently in the foreground.

Why: so that when you open an app you have chosen to block, Habit Doom can show its lock screen instead.

What it does NOT do: Habit Doom never reads your screen contents, never reads your messages, never records what you type, and never records audio. The name of the foreground app is used only on your device to decide whether to show the lock screen. It is never transmitted off your device, never sold, and never shared with third parties.

You are asked to turn this on explicitly, you can decline, and you can turn it off at any time in Habit Doom's Settings or in Android Settings > Accessibility.

What’s new

Smoother, faster, and clearer about permissions.

- Fixed the lock screen reappearing repeatedly over some blocked apps
- The screen time timer now rolls like a real counter as you earn minutes
- Habit cards no longer jump or stutter when you check in or scroll
- Faster cold start
- Clearer explanation of why app blocking needs the accessibility permission, and you can decline and read more first
- Settings opens and scrolls more smoothly
