Stop scrolling: Put Phone Away digital wellbeing app helps reduce distracting phone use by rewarding time spent away from the phone instead of blocking apps or punishing usage. Stay off the phone and progress through karate belt ranks from white to black. The app tracks idle time with privacy-first local processing only - no accounts, analytics, ads, or cloud sync. Everything stays on the device while remaining battery-conscious and lightweight.
Hey Product Hunt community,
I realized that endless scrolling and other distracting phone use have become a huge negative phenomenon today, including for myself. So I wanted to build a simple tool - an app with gamification elements that would actually motivate people to stay off their phones instead of just showing screen-time statistics.
Most digital wellbeing apps focus on blocking apps or showing charts. I wanted to try a different approach. The longer you stay off your phone, the more progress you make through karate belt ranks - from white belt all the way to black belt.
Building the app was also a challenge because Android doesn’t make this kind of measurement easy. I spent a lot of time improving accuracy while keeping the app lightweight, privacy-first, and battery-conscious. Everything runs locally on the device - no accounts, no analytics, no cloud sync.
I’d genuinely love to hear what you think:
Would gamification actually motivate you to spend less time on your phone?
