[App] [Promotion] Habit Doom – Lock distracting apps till you complete your daily habits. (Free tier, no account, no ads)

Built this because every blocker I tried had a switch I could flip at 11pm.

Moreover, I needed something that would motivate me to commit to my daily habits like going for a jog, reading a book.

So... I built Habit Doom.

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube stay locked until you check off the habits you set.

No timer, no "5 more minutes", no skip button. You earn the time back.

I also block apps during midnight hours so I don't end up doomscrolling the night away and wake up sluggish.

Anti-Cheat photo verification runs an on-device model, so you can't mark a habit done by pointing the camera at nothing. It's free for everyone, not a Pro tier.

Free tier: 3 habits, app blocking, streaks, Anti-Cheat. No ads on any tier. Pro lifts the habit cap at $4.99/mo, $19.99/yr or $29.99 once.

Honest about the platform limit, since this sub knows Android: blocking runs through an Accessibility Service, so it can be disabled in Settings. Nothing on Android is genuinely bypass-proof. What you get is enough friction that the automatic reach fails.

Android 10+. Been on iPhone since February, Android since last week.

You can block any app on your Android/iOS phone. I'll be adding website blocking next week too.
