Lucid: Reduce Screentime
App Blocker & Focus
Only for iPhone

iPhone
The average person spends 5 to 6 hours a day looking at their phone — often without even realizing it.
Willpower alone isn't enough to change that. Social media apps are built by teams of psychologists, designers, and algorithms whose only job is to keep you scrolling.
That's why I built Lucid.
Lucid is a screen time and focus app that helps you stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. Instead of relying on motivation, Lucid creates small moments of friction exactly when you need them — and those small moments can change everything.
How Lucid works:
When you try to open a distracting app, Lucid can:
– Interrupt the habit loop with a short breathing exercise
– Ask you to make a conscious decision before entering
– Let you set your own timer — you decide how much time is enough
– Lock apps completely during focus sessions, no bypass
– Automatically activate rules based on your daily routines
The goal isn't to make your phone unusable. The goal is to help you use it on your terms.
Most app blockers only help you block distractions. Lucid helps you want them less. Over time, distracting apps become less automatic, less rewarding, and easier to ignore — because Lucid addresses the root cause of excessive screen time, not just a temporary barrier in front of it.
Features:
Lucid Mode
Pause before opening distracting apps. A short interruption breaks automatic behavior and creates a moment to decide intentionally — built to interrupt autopilot scrolling before it starts.
Lock Mode
Need deep focus? Lock selected apps completely — for a custom duration or until you decide you're done. No temporary unlocks. No loopholes.
Routines & Presets
Create automatic focus environments for different parts of your day: Mindful Morning, Deep Work, Study Session, Evening Wind Down. Start your day phone-free for maximum momentum, wind down at night for real rest — Lucid activates everything automatically in the background.
Insights
See how your habits and productivity change over time. Track screen time, app pickups, most-used apps, and your Awareness Rate.
What is Awareness Rate?
It shows how often you make an intentional decision instead of an automatic one. If Lucid interrupts you 10 times and you choose not to continue 7 times, your Awareness Rate is 70%. The higher it gets, the more you're breaking automatic habits — not just blocking them.
Is Lucid just another app blocker?
Yes — but that's not the whole story. Most blockers only create restrictions. Lucid combines app locking with real behavior design, so the goal isn't just to stop scrolling today. It's to make scrolling less appealing in general.
Who is Lucid for?
Lucid is for people who:
– Open Instagram or TikTok without even thinking about it
– Lose hours to brainrot content and doomscrolling
– Want to focus more deeply, including with ADHD
– Want a real habit tracker, not just a screen time counter
– Are tired of relying on willpower alone
– Want to feel their best every single day
I built Lucid because I struggled with the exact same problem. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.
