Stop That is the app that won't let you doomscroll. A smug little eye lives on your phone. The moment you open the apps that eat your day, it heckles you out loud. Keep crawling back and it shields them shut. No willpower required. That's the point. You already tried willpower.
HOW IT WORKS
• Pick your worst apps. TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, YouTube. Whatever your thumb opens on autopilot.
• Get heckled. Open one and the eye starts talking. Funny the first time. Less funny the third.
• Get shielded. Keep pushing and the app closes. You wanted to stop. It's helping.
• See what you clawed back. Time saved, blocks landed, the trend bending down.
BUILT SO YOU DON'T WEASEL OUT
• Daily Patience. Set how much scrolling you get before the shield drops. Or go Instant.
• Locked Hours. Freeze your settings on a schedule. During work or bedtime you tighten the rules, never loosen them.
• Confession to Stop. Switching enforcement off takes a short typed confession first. Deliberate, never impossible.
• Stop Everything. One tap lifts every shield. Nothing ever traps you.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your apps, usage, and settings never leave your iPhone. No account. No tracking. No data sold. Ever.
Stop That uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to guard the apps you choose. On your own device, for yourself. It is not parental controls and never watches anyone else.
Requires a subscription. The eye is judging you either way.

What's new:
• Gary on your home screen. Two new widgets. Gary's Mood shows how he feels about your day, from pleased to furious. Gary's Week puts seven Garys side by side, with how many times he stopped you each day.
• Gary on your Lock Screen. Gary's Mood comes in two Lock Screen sizes too.
• Any app can be somewhere better. Add any app on your phone to Somewhere Better with a shortcut. Tap the ? for a step-by-step guide.
• Gary asks for notifications during setup, so he can talk to you. If you stop before setup's done, he'll nudge you once or twice to finish. Tap Stop reminding me on the notification and he won't again.
• Help is easier to find: there's a link in Settings, and another on the Screen Time step if access is denied.
• Rate Stop That from Settings.
