I couldn’t stop doomscrolling, so I built an app that makes me earn my screen time.

说明与用途

作者创建了一个应用程序，在用户完成真实任务并通过 Gemini AI 验证照片后，才解除对分散注意力的社交媒体的屏蔽，从而将拖延转化为成本并奖励生产力。

问题

The author struggled with ADHD‑related procrastination and found habit apps ineffective, needing a system that penalizes distraction and rewards productive tasks.

结果

The app successfully blocks distracting apps until a user completes a real task and provides photographic proof, thereby turning procrastination into a cost and rewarding productive behavior.

工作流

• Select distracting apps to block
• Choose a real task (e.g., make bed, read 10 min, push‑ups)
• Take a photo as proof
• Gemini AI verifies the photo in real time
• Upon successful verification, unlock screen time for the blocked apps

证据

Habit apps didn’t help either: notifications I swipe away, streaks I feel guilty about for 3 seconds, dashboards that track my failures beautifully.
