Life time up. A simple pause changes everything.

DopamineBudget adds a mindful pause between you and your distracting apps.

Simple but powerful: a 5-second intervention breaks the autopilot habit loop. You stop opening apps unconsciously — and start choosing deliberately. Designed to rewire your habits permanently, not just block apps temporarily.

🤳 Balanced social media use
App usage drops significantly when you add a moment of friction. Most users dismiss 70%+ of urges after just one week.

🧑‍💻 Productivity
Reclaim hours every week not spent on social media — to work on your projects & to recharge!

🙏 Mental health
High social media usage is often related to depression and anxiety. A simple pause breaks the cycle.

⚡️ ADHD relief
The pause intervention creates a gap between impulse and action — exactly what ADHD brains need.

🛌 Sleep better
Prevent scrolling mindlessly before bed and right after waking up with scheduled night profiles.

💰 Save money
Prevent impulse purchases by pausing before opening shopping apps.

With DopamineBudget, you'll notice both a short-term and long-term effect on your app usage:

1. Unconscious phone habits are prevented right away ("Why did I even want to open that app?")
2. Long-term habits change because these apps appear less appealing to your brain (their "dopamine on demand" effect fades away)

FEATURES
