Building stuff that matters

About

Trying to solve the screen-time problem that standard blockers never really fixed: when you can bypass the limit yourself, what’s actually stopping you? I’m building Screen Challenge Buddy around a different idea: instead of relying on willpower or another easy-to-ignore timer, make screen time socially accountable and financially consequential. You can pair with a real buddy, see each other’s screen time, chat and stay accountable, and optionally set financial stakes where you pay nothing upfront and only face a penalty if you break your screen time commitment. The goal isn’t to block your phone harder. It’s to make breaking your own commitment harder.

Screen Time: Challenge Buddy - Cut screen time with friends, live scoreboards & real stakes

Screen Time: Challenge Buddy takes a different approach to screen time: instead of relying on app blockers and willpower, it adds real accountability. Pair with a Buddy, share live screen-time, compete, chat and keep each other accountable. You can also take on Challenges: voluntary financial stakes at $0 upfront cost, with a penalty only if you break your limit. The idea is simple: make screen-time limits harder to ignore because someone else can see them and you have real money at stake.
