LoopCut

Cut your screen time in half—with smart friction against addictive app design.

LoopCut adds a pause before distracting apps open, asks why you are opening them, lets you set a time limit, and introduces stopping points before a quick check becomes a long scroll.

  • Pause before opening
  • Choose a purpose
  • Set a timebox
  • Keep urgent access possible

ClearHour: Dumbphone OS

Dumbphone Mode for Android

Keep your smartphone. Remove the loopholes.

ClearHour: Dumbphone OS is a hard-lock dumbphone mode for Android. Everything is blocked by default, real-life essentials remain safe, and rules can only be changed during your daily Clear Hour.

Set the rules when your mind is clear. ClearHour keeps them locked when temptation hits.

Default blocked. Essentials safe. Tiny access. Rules change only when your clear-minded self is in control.
