Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Nihith, the solo developer behind CaBBy's Brain Bites. As a recent grad from McMaster University, I was struggling with my own phone addiction but hated the guilt-trip approach of most screen time apps. The problem: I'd mindlessly scroll for hours, feel terrible about it, but restriction-based apps just made me feel worse when I inevitably "failed." My solution: What if you could EARN your screen time instead? That's exactly what CaBBy's Brain Bites does. You complete daily quizzes across science, history, math, and general knowledge to earn "reward time" for guilt-free phone usage. A persistent notification tracks your real-time balance - when you've earned it, you've truly earned it! Built in 8 months using AI-assisted development (React Native + Firebase), this taught me that combining analytical thinking with modern tools can create something genuinely useful. Key features: Real-time screen time tracking with earned vs used balance Multi-topic educational quizzes with adaptive difficulty Rollover system: unused time = positive credits, overtime = debt for tomorrow Complete gamification with points, badges, and streaks My question for you: How do you currently manage your relationship with your phone? Have you tried "earning" privileges through positive behaviors? Thanks for checking it out - would love your thoughts and feedback! 🧠📱
