Squishy is an app and website blocker with a mascot whose happiness follows your choices. Focus helps it recover. Opening blocked apps or sites drains it. Share one Squishy with a partner, friend, or family member, and both of you contribute to the same happiness bar while browsing details stay private. One subscription covers the owner and one invited partner, with sync across iPhone, iPad, Android, and Chrome.

hey product hunt,
i built squishy because i kept telling myself to lock in and stop scrolling ig reels, just to immediately open x on my laptop. squishy is a screen time pet for iphone and chrome. when you hit blocked apps or websites, squishy loses happiness. when you come back and focus, squishy heals.
the part i’m most excited about is the sync: it’s the same squishy across your phone and browser, so you can’t “be good” on one device while doomscrolling on the other.
i’d love feedback on whether this makes screen time feel more personal than a normal blocker.
@austin595 Great app concept with an insanely smooth onboarding flow. I would want a lifetime purchase option (tired of subscription based ones)

@hooni_tri Hey Tristan, that definitely could be possible, I am thinking of adding more ways of making Squishy happy that may require AI costs (that's why the subscription). Things such as "Show Squishy Something New" and it's taking a picture of something random outside. But feel free to reach out to me at hello@blankslateapps.com and I'm sure I could send over a discount or enable a lifetime purchase.
sharing the happiness bar with a partner while keeping the actual browsing details private is a smart way to get the accountability benefit without the awkwardness of someone literally seeing what you opened. does the partner get notified in real time when the pet is drained, or just a daily summary?
Squishy
@omri_ben_shoham1 It mainly is a daily summary if Squishy gets too low, because I've realized when testing that I actually do make Squishy sad (and back to happy) a lot when using it with my friend (and that notification might be a bit annoying). Perhaps I can add a toggle for notifications of people who may want that real time status update.
