Blocking alone doesn't work.
You've tried it.
That is not your fault. Your brain is hardwired to seek reward, and the best engineers in the world built algorithms that take advantage of it.
So Insteadof isn't another app blocker. It's built to work with your brain's pull toward reward.

Split.
Bank. Spend.
Split your apps.
Growth on one side: reading, learning, fitness. Distractions on the other: your feed, the games, the news.
You already know which is which.
Bank your minutes.
Every minute in a growth app banks a minute for a distraction app. Want a real challenge?
Set it to 2-to-1 or 3-to-1.
Spend, guilt-free.
Scroll all you want on the time you earned. No minutes in the bank? The feed stays locked.
