"Want to open that app? Then earn it."
DDi is a spicy digital detox you set for yourself.
Instagram, YouTube, games — all those apps you mindlessly open? Lock them with DDi.
Want back in? Not so fast. You've got a mission to beat first.
■ How it works
1. Pick the apps you want to stay away from.
2. Set a block timer, or keep them locked until you decide to stop.
3. Try to open a blocked app and DDi's mission screen appears.
4. Beat the mission and you get 5 minutes. Then it locks again automatically.
■ 7 missions designed to make you think twice (assigned randomly)
· Shake — shake your phone 100 times to unlock
· Apology — type out "I am fine without this app" by hand
· Squats — hold your phone and actually do them
· Mental math — no calculator, just your brain
· Clap — clap in front of the microphone
· Shout — yell into the mic, loud enough to count
· Yoga pose — hold the pose on screen in front of your camera for 2 seconds
You never know which one you'll get. You'll either groan and give up, or laugh and share it with a friend. Either way, you win.
■ Progress that compounds
· Time saved today, number of blocks, consecutive streak days
· Generate a shareable card — "I've resisted that app for 12 days straight"
■ You're always in control
DDi doesn't trap you. You can drop the block anytime. It just puts a little friction between you and your impulse — enough to make you pause and choose deliberately.
· Blocks lift automatically when your timer runs out
· Want to stop for good? One exit mission and it's off
· Don't want any of this? Delete the app. No hidden lock, no password.
■ Your data never leaves your phone
DDi collects no personal information and sends nothing to any server. All records stay on your device. The microphone is used only to detect claps and shouts during
those missions — nothing is recorded or stored. The camera is used only to recognize your pose during the yoga mission — no footage leaves your device.
Quitting cold turkey is hard. That's what DDi is here for.
Lock your most-reached-for app and see how long you last.
■ Note
· DDi uses iOS Screen Time. Please grant permission on first launch.
· This app is solely for restricting your own apps on your own device. There is no monitoring or parental control functionality.
