Features

  • Four ways to trigger a block

    Block by time of day, by usage limit, by location, or manually with a tap or your voice. Mix and match for any habit.

  • A calm friction spectrum

    Nudge, Delay, Hard, and Strict let you choose exactly how firm a block is — from a gentle reminder to a commitment you can't quickly undo.

  • Block apps and websites

    Pick the apps and sites that pull you in. Blocking pauses them — it never deletes anything, and the overlay copy stays kind, never shaming.

  • Insights, computed on device

    See your screen time by day — and with Pro, by week and month. Every number is calculated on your iPhone and never uploaded.

  • Voice & Siri activation

    Start a focus session hands-free through Shortcuts and Siri, or trigger a block by voice inside the app.

  • Limited-access mode

    With Pro, allow only a chosen handful of apps and block the rest — a clean slate for deep work or wind-down.

  • Built for accessibility

    Full VoiceOver and Voice Control, large-text support, generous tap targets, and plain language throughout.

  • Private by design

    What you block and how you use your phone stays on your device. App Shaper cannot see it.

Free vs Pro

Free is genuinely useful on its own. Pro removes the limits when you're ready — $1.99 / month or $14.99 / year.

Privacy by design

Dopamin Detox uses Apple's Screen Time framework, which keeps the apps and sites you choose as opaque, on-device identifiers. They are never transmitted, never logged, and never stored on our servers or in iCloud for us to see. Your usage statistics are computed on your iPhone and stay there. Read the full Privacy Policy.
