The Doom Scrolling App That Charges You Real Money.
Set your daily screen-time limit. Go over it? Your card gets charged. No excuses, no mercy, no refunds.
How It Works
Screen Time Accountability in Three Steps
Set Your Limit
Pick your daily screen-time cap. 1 hour? 30 minutes? You decide. This is your line in the sand.
Link Your Card
Pre-authorize a payment method. Nothing is charged upfront. Your card sits there, waiting.
Get Burned
Go over your limit? You get charged for every extra minute. Think of it as a digital detox with teeth — the receipt hits your inbox like a penalty notice.
Burn Rate
Pick Your Penalty
Per-minute charge for every minute you go over your daily limit. Based on 30 min overage/day.
THE MATH: 30 min over × $0.50/min × 30 days = ~$15/mo
Get Started
Set Up in 2 Minutes
Pick your daily limit, choose your burn rate, add your card. Every minute over your cap costs you real money. No subscription — you only pay when you scroll too much.
