Phone Use Blocker · in development

Block the scroll.
Build the habit.

Phone Use Blocker is a distraction blocker that uses AI to turn the urge to scroll into the habits you actually want. It doesn't just take something away. It hands you something better.

How it works

A blocker that knows what you'd rather be doing.

  1. 01

    Say what you want more of

    Reading before bed. A morning without email. Two hours of deep work. You set the habit in plain words, not in a maze of toggles.

  2. 02

    It learns when you slip

    The AI notices the moments you reach for the phone without meaning to: the late-night scroll, the mid-task check, the "just one video".

  3. 03

    It steps in, and offers the habit

    At that moment the distraction is blocked and the thing you asked for is put in front of you instead. One tap to start it.

The difference

Most blockers build a wall. Walls get climbed.

Take an app away and the urge is still there, looking for the next one. We think the block is only half the job. The other half is what happens next.
