== Quit gaming. For good. ==
From age 11 to 23, I played video games 10–14 hours a day.
I lied to my parents, dropped out of university, and isolated myself. I didn't lack willpower, my brain had simply rewired itself around gaming's perfect dopamine loops.
When I finally quit at 23, stopping wasn't the hard part. The nightmare was the **void**: that empty space where I had no structure, no purpose, and no system that worked for real life.
That's why I built Lume with my best friend, a fellow ex-addict. This is the program we wish existed when we were stuck.
== What is Lume? ==
Lume is not a blocker. It is a recovery engine.
Blockers are easily uninstalled. Lume helps you break the "one more game" loop by rewiring your habits, helping you respawn in real life.
== Why it works ==
We don't fix you with "willpower." We fix your system.
- Cold-Turkey Structure: Lume removes the decision fatigue and loopholes so you can focus 100% on healing.
- Resist Tools: When the urge hits hard at 7pm, Lume gives you calm, actionable steps to ride out the craving without caving.
- Bounce-Back Plan: Relapse happens. If you slip, Lume doesn't shame you. It turns that relapse into data so we can spot the trigger and prevent it next time.
- Quest for Real Life: Lume helps you rebuild sleep, focus, and routine, one micro-win at a time.
- Visual Momentum: Your progress stays visible. Watch your streak build and your brain heal.
== Built for ADHD brain ==
We know how overwhelmed a recovering brain feels. That’s why Lume is quiet, dark, and calm.
- Minimalist Design: No flashing lights, no loot boxes, no gamification traps.
- 2-Tap Logging: Track your day in seconds. Low friction, high clarity.
- Plain English: No clinical jargon. Just raw, honest advice from someone who has been there.
== Join the co-op: Help us build Lume ==
We created a community because isolation kills recovery. But we also created it because **we need your help.**
Lume is built by ex-addicts, for ex-addicts. We don't have all the answers, so we are building this tool alongside the people who use it.
- Shape the App: If a feature isn't working for you, tell us. If you need a specific tool to fight a craving, let us know. We build what *you* need.
- Real Support: Connect with people who actually understand the struggle, share strategies, and help us make Lume the ultimate recovery weapon.

== Privacy & Dignity ==
Recovery isn't about shame, it's about reclaiming your freedom.
- Your data is yours: We don't sell it. Your logs are for your eyes only.
- Support, not exploitation: We built this to help you level up IRL, not to profit from your data.
== 100% Free. ==
We believe effective help shouldn't be a luxury. Lume is completely free.
- No Subscriptions
- No Ads
- No Locked Features
Just the tools you need to break free.
