Baseline is a dopamine detox protocol designed to help you break phone addiction, reset your focus, and rebuild healthy attention habits.
Your phone is only one source of dopamine spikes. True reset means restructuring your entire day: not just what you block, but when you block it, when you sleep, how you start your morning, and how you earn your downtime.
This is not just another screen time limit app, but a structured, science-backed daily schedule that works with your brain rather than against it.
Why it's different:
Screen time limits fail because they focus on how much screen time you get, not when you get it. Baseline structures the full day, protecting your mornings, guarding your focus hours, and winding down properly. You earn your "reward time" without the guilt. Every phase serves the reset.
How it works:
Baseline structures your day into phases:
- Morning Routine: Start your day without the scroll. Get sun and movement if possible.
- Focus Block: Distracting apps are blocked so you can do deep work.
- Reward Time: Earned access to your apps, guilt-free.
- Wind Down: Ease off screens before bed.
- Sleep: Full blocking to protect your rest.
You choose which apps to block. We help you set the schedule to maximize focus and reset your dopamine baseline.
Changes you should notice:
- Sustained Motivation & Drive
- Enhanced Focus & Cognition
- Improved Mood & Well-being
- Increased Productivity & Persistence
- Better sleep and energy
Baseline requires a subscription to unlock full access.

As a mom of two working in a fast-paced professional environment, my phone is often my biggest source of distraction. I’ve tried standard screen time limits before, but they never seemed to stick. Baseline is different because it actually structures my entire day.Since I started using the "Focus Blocks," I’ve noticed a significant jump in my productivity. It feels great to actually "earn" my downtime rather than just mindlessly scrolling. It has helped me stay present with my kids and much more dialed-in during my deep-work hours.I’m actually planning on setting this up for my son next. The way it protects morning routines and winds down properly before sleep is exactly the kind of healthy digital habit I want him to develop. If you’re looking for more than just a "blocker" and want a full lifestyle reset, I highly recommend this app!
Interesting take on the screen time concept
-engago-
What is unique about this app is that instead of giving one a screen time limit for the whole day which one might greedily use up before noon (leaving you with depleted dopamine energy levels and cravings for the rest of the day), it flips the script and forces you to save up (so to speak) on your Screen Time and use it at the end of the day to genuinely reward yourself for a hard day’s work. No guilt! The developer has put quite some work into explaining the science during onboarding so that you embrace the concept.. I would recommend this app.
App helped me reclaim my time

Thank you so much. Such a brilliant idea, implemented in such a beautiful way. I can’t thank you enough. Gorgeous and intuitive UI that operates under screen time to help reduce screen time for the apps that take time. No data collected - no notes. Thank you thank you thank you!
So far, so good

I was pretty skeptical but this app works great for me! I’ve tried time-limits, greyscale, productivity apps, adhd apps, even custom shortcuts to keep me from doomscrolling but nothing really stuck. I like how simple it is.
