Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm thrilled to launch BrainPex today! Like many of you, I found myself constantly falling into the "doomscrolling trap" - opening Instagram just to reply to a friend's message, getting pulled into the Reels tab, and losing 45 minutes of my day. When testing existing screen-time apps, I ran into two big issues: 1. Hard-blocking the entire app prevented me from checking urgent DMs or communicating with friends. 2. Many apps require battery-draining VPN proxies or screen recording. We built BrainPex from scratch with a different approach: Don't block the app - neutralize the doomscroll. 🔥 Key Highlights: • Live Floating HUD: Real-time counter and dwell timer directly over Reels and Shorts. • Context-Aware: Keeps your DMs, search, and profile pages 100% open. • Mindful Micro-Pauses: Gentle 5-second breathing interventions when limits are hit. • Social Focus Battles: Challenge friends and send live nudge alerts. • 100% Private: Native Android accessibility heuristics with zero cameras, zero screen recordings, and zero VPNs. BrainPex is free to download on the Google Play Store today. We'd love your feedback, bug reports, and ideas! What’s your biggest digital distraction right now? Let's chat below! 🚀
