Habit Doom

Stop Doomscrolling. Start Earning It.

Habit Doom locks your distracting apps at midnight every day. The only way to unlock them is to complete your habits first. Read, work out, meditate. Whatever matters to you. Complete the habit, earn your screen time. Skip it, and your apps stay locked. It uses Apple's Screen Time API to enforce real, OS-level locks. You cannot bypass it by force-quitting, restarting your phone, or switching accounts. When I say locked, I mean locked.

What makes it different from other blockers:

Other apps add friction (breathing exercises, timers). Habit Doom creates a reward loop. You earn screen time by doing something real.

Hard Mode locks everything until ALL habits are done. No cherry-picking. Vacation Mode pauses blocking without breaking your streak. Advanced analytics show streaks, completion rates, and a yearly heatmap so you can see the change over time.

Built solo with Swift and SwiftUI. Free to download, no ads. Pro available at $2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $34.99 lifetime.

Solo dev building Habit Doom. I lock you...

I was averaging 4+ hours of daily screen time on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Tried every blocker out there. They all let you bypass them. So I built Habit Doom. It uses Apple's Screen Time API to enforce real OS-level locks. You can't cheat it. Went from a 10% habit completion rate to 85% in four weeks. Not because I got disciplined. Because the phone stopped letting me be lazy.
