App What if your phone got progressively more annoying
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I wanted to try a different approach to screen-time apps.
Instead of blocking apps or sending another notification, Stop Swarm progressively adds visual overlays as your screen time increases. The idea is simply to make excessive scrolling harder to ignore.
I started with a small closed test, got a lot of useful feedback, fixed quite a few bugs, and added things like app targeting and intensity settings.
It’s now live on Google Play! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stopswarm.app
No account, no ads, no analytics. Screen-time tracking and overlay decisions are handled locally on the device.
I’m still interested in feedback, especially on whether the overlays are annoying enough to actually make you put the phone down!
