Cut your screen time by 40% — without willpower battles.



Pick up your phone for a "quick check" and lose 20 minutes? You're not weak — you're in the Scrolling Trance. The feed pulled you in. Rational mind offline. Algorithm on autopilot.



Detoxly is the AI-powered screen time blocker, app blocker, and distraction blocker that breaks the loop. A neuro-minimalist launcher that intercepts impulsive app opens, interrupts doomscrolling on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Facebook, and Snapchat — and hands control back to your rational mind.



Don't just block apps. Break the compulsion.



HOW IT WORKS: ADAPTIVE FRICTION

Hard blocks create resistance, frustration, and workarounds. Detoxly works with your brain — a "conscious pause" at the exact moments that matter:



🛑 The Gatekeeper

Intercepts impulsive app opens, giving your rational brain a split-second to say "no" before the dopamine hit lands.



🧠 Context-Aware Reality Checks

Detoxly knows why you're scrolling — the Comparison Trap on Instagram, the Slot Machine Effect on dating apps, Brain Rot from TikTok and Shorts — and deploys interventions tuned to that exact loop.



🤖 AI That Learns Your Weak Moments

On-device AI learns when you're most vulnerable (late nights, low battery, post-notification dips) and surfaces grounded reminders like "you closed Instagram 14 seconds ago." Personalized friction that adapts to your patterns — no two days the same.



🌑 Sensory Dampening

Exceed your daily limit and Detoxly dims the screen and fades audio — stripping the dopamine triggers that keep you hooked.



🔒 Focus Block — Deep Work Mode

Lock in for a Pomodoro, a deep-work block, or a meeting. Apps stay launchable but turn into intervention prompts the moment you reach. Premium adds strict mode and grayscale.



📱 Minimalist Text Launcher

Replace your cluttered home screen with a clean, text-only interface — the calm of a dumb phone, without giving up your smartphone.



🔔 Smart Notification Filter

Batch and hide non-urgent pings. Premium adds AI TL;DR summaries of clustered notifications so you skim a day in seconds.

• Anyone tired of doomscrolling Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube

• Students and remote workers chasing focus and deep work

• Adults serious about digital detox, dopamine detox, and phone addiction recovery

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

Detoxly is a digital-wellbeing app that uses Android's AccessibilityService API only to detect which app is in the foreground, so it can interrupt distracting apps you've chosen to monitor. It never reads screen content, typed text, passwords, or keystrokes — the service runs with canRetrieveWindowContent=false. All processing is 100% on-device; nothing is uploaded, sold, or shared. You can revoke access anytime in your device's Accessibility settings.



Your brain is on autopilot. Time to wake up.
