About Habit Doom: Anti-Doomscroll
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. • Alarm Reminders — Habit reminders ring like real alarms, even on silent mode. (iOS 26.1+) • Widgets & Live Activity — See habits and remaining time on your home screen, lock screen, and Dynamic Island. • Privacy First — All data stays on your device. No account. No servers. No data collection. • Block Adult Sites — Block adult website and apps system-wide. • Bedtime Lock — Lock apps at bedtime, no excuses. 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.
