Roots is not just another screen time app. We're the first to quantify the digital dopamine you get from using your phone, and we help you build a better relationship with your phone from the ground up.

Our latest update forces you to pet your dog before you can scroll on social media. Turn a mindless habit into real world joy, and add a little friction to your doom scrolling. This isn’t just cute — it’s behavioral science meets emotional design.

Join challenges that keep you from doom scrolling. Our weekly 24-hour challenges help you reset and build better habits — by limiting the number of times you can open distracting apps.
