Uglify Screen Time
Make Your Feed Boring
Only for iPhone

The longer you scroll, the uglier your screen gets. Grayscale, dimming, inversion — until the feed's too boring to bother.
Uglify makes social media boring on purpose.
The longer you scroll TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or any other app — the worse your screen looks. Colours drain. Brightness drops. Eventually, colors inverts. Your feed becomes so ugly that you just… stop. That's the whole idea.
HOW IT WORKS
Uglify runs in the background while you use your favorite apps. The longer you stay, the more aggressive the effects:
Level 1 — Flat Grey. All colour is removed. Your feed looks like a newspaper from 1987.
Level 2 — Dull Dimmed. The screen darkens. Watching videos feels like staring through fog.
Level 3 — Nuclear. Colours invert. Combined with the greyscale, the screen becomes genuinely unpleasant. You'll want to leave. That's the point.
WHY IT WORKS
You don't have a "willpower problem". You have a design problem.
Social media apps are built by thousands of engineers whose job is to keep you scrolling. Infinite feeds, autoplay, variable-ratio rewards — these aren't features. They're traps.
Uglify doesn't lock you out. Doesn't lecture you. When you cross into a new level, a shield appears — you can dismiss it and keep going. It's a speed bump, not a wall. Uglify just strips the engineering off the content so you can see it for what it is: not that interesting.
Think of it as shoes for your attention. You could run barefoot. But shoes make the ground less hostile, so your effort actually gets you somewhere.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
You are not the problem. The platforms are the problem. Uglify exists to give your willpower a fair fight against a billion-dollar engagement engine. The sunset was always more colourful than the feed. You just couldn't tell, because the feed was cheating. Now it's not.
