If you know the real daily ceiling before LinkedIn flags you, would you put it straight in the subhead? Comment from Arnold Oshenye(@oshylabs): Same experience with Lovable versus

... already. How are we different? We prioritize awareness and self-trust. All we do is send out a notification to members of your trusted circle when you reach a certain point. The idea is to get eyes on your screentime, only when you reach a chosen threshold, and every 30 minutes afterward as well.

And people don't search for categories, they search for their exact mess. Not "screentime app", more like "how do I stop opening instagram without deleting it". Do you know which ugly long phrases people already use to find minimalist phone? That list is usually where the easy wins are hiding. Comment from Nika(@busmark ...

... someone uses it, they're showing it to whoever they send to. Simple, free, and your users bring in new ones. It works best when the output is something other people see (messages, shared notes, snippets, screenshots). For a screentime tool you'd have to figure out where that line could go, but the idea's the same: build growth into how people already use the tool, so it grows ...

The same "be the page Google recommends" move now works for AI too: when ... ... searching for the solution, you just need to be the one that google recommends. I use Ahrefs to find what people are searching for, as well as how difficult it is to rank organically. Taking minimalist phone: reduce your screentime

... time to finish the gallery. Does the day of the week still matter much in your experience, or is that mostly a myth now? Comment from (@new_user___26020267b63ea4605738cbb): Launching BillFast today has reinforced the ready enough vs. finished distinction for me: the core flow (create an invoice, preview it, download a client-ready PDF) is narrow and usable, while feedback is now surfacing the edges currencies, taxes, templates, and payment instructions. For a small product, that feels ... ... limited testers. They gave us the first feedbacks for us to make the app better. After we didn't succeeded with a try on LinkedIn, where the feedback was nearly zero, we are on our way to find good alternatives

... trigger was the calendar. The one with nothing still answers you, politely, and that is where the five star with no words comes from. You already have the trigger inside your product. It is the first week where their screentime actually dropped. That person has a before and an after, they can see the number, and they know which one they are. Ask on that day, whether it lands on day 4 or day 40, and skip everyone ...

... actual off switch though, or are you in the never-fully-off club too? Comment from Dhanishta Likhar(@dhanishta_likhar): @busmark_w_nika  ha the 1 hour days are the ones that somehow count the most. and a screentime founder who never logs off is the most relatable contradiction ive heard all week, im here for it. Comment from Dhanishta Likhar(@dhanishta_likhar): honestly still figuring this out. my problem is a reset only works if its something ... ... rohanrecommends): For me, it's disconnecting for a while from the internet, chanting sacred mantras, going to some sort of place that is closer to the nature or forest and maybe meeting family / friends who really help me recharge versus

... longest experience started in a startup with @minimalist phone: reduce your screentime . (originally a digital detox app for Android, then iOS). From a marketing perspective, the following worked best for us (almost always) : paid ads UGC videos (also as paid ads) BUT, for example, an affiliate program has never worked very well for us (and we launched it at a time when the app already had 1 million downloads on Google Play!). I am currently helping a new startup that ... ... work, marketing tactic] Comment from Viktoriia (@virtualviki): @busmark_w_nika  The $0.21/install was paid - a small Telegram channel (~3K subscribers) focused on aesthetic self-care content.

I don't know how that will change in the future. I think it is hard to find a balance between helping them develop an attention span and giving them exposure ...

... sort of comfort, but I couldn t get it on a screen. My phone habits were making me feel worse. So I set out to better manage my relationship with my device. And it didn t work. The existing screentime apps like Opal, Brick, and Jomo are very all-or-nothing. There's no middle ground where I felt I could stay informed without getting sucked back in by social media algorithms. I still wanted to go on YouTube ...

... align perfectly when mere humans thought it impossible." Extra points for the most creative! I'm curious what superpowers are hiding in our Product Hunt universe! Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): I collaborate with @minimalist phone: reduce your screentime and the superpower is that it blocks the app or kicks you from the apps so you use the phone less. Comment from Juan Secchi(@juan): @busmark_w_nika @minimalist phone: reduce your screentime

... nika): Yes, that's the exactly one app that came to my mind because I saw it yesterday. I would also list launchers for phones that "attract" users to be less on their smartphones, e.g. @minimalist phone: reduce your screentime or @Dumb Phone or alternatives
