Trick your brain that you have 'not' deleted the dopamine app

I kept getting stuck in a loop where I d delete social media apps, then reinstall them the same day. My muscle memory would still search for them, and even if I deleted them, the App Store would show results and tempt me to install again.

To break out of that, I built DopaMean. It s a minimal web app that creates a fake but realistic-looking icon on your home screen. You delete the original app and use this shortcut (PWA) instead.

When you tap it, it gives you a 30-second pause. After that, you can decide whether to continue or not.

DopaMean - Trick your brain that you have not deleted the app!

Trick your brain that you have not deleted the app! Breaking the loop of deleting and reinstalling social apps is tough because muscle memory takes over. DopaMean fixes this. It is a minimal web app that adds a realistic fake icon to your home screen. Delete your real apps, install this PWA, and tap it when the urge hits. You get a forced 30-second pause to rethink your scrolling habit. It is free, open-source, requires no account, and has zero tracking. Try it out and break the dopamine loop.
