Break Free from Phone Addiction by Committing Real Cash with Cobweb


Start a focus session
Commit cold, hard cash
Stay off your phone, or pay up


Cobweb is the hardcore focus app that helps you beat phone addiction without relying on willpower alone. If you've tried everything to reclaim your focus and conquer procrastination, it's time for a wake-up call. The soft approach of most screen time apps doesn't work for everyone. You might need something tougher. Real skin in the game.

Instead of cheesy mindfulness tips and deep breathing exercises, put some real money on the line and watch your motivation to stay off your phone skyrocket.



HOW IT WORKS:

1. Choose Your Focus Duration
Set a timer for your focus session. The longer, the better. You'll feel fantastic after a digital breather.

2. Put Money on the Line
This is where it gets interesting. Put cash on the line to prevent yourself from bailing on your session goal. Once you start a Cobweb, you have to stick with it until the end or lose the cash.

3. Crush Your Goal (or Pay Up!)
Get out there and touch grass. If you use your phone before your session is over, you'll have to pay the piper (all proceeds donated to The Center for Humane Technology).


Cobweb helps you control your screen time by starting a focus session (similar to a Pomodoro timer) and, more importantly, sticking to your goals. Block distractions and achieve freedom from phone addiction—no need to go cold turkey or buy a dumbphone. No mindfulness or productivity hacks needed.

If you have trouble staying off your phone or need a dopamine detox, Cobweb is the path forward.



BENEFITS:

- High-Stakes Focus: Put your money where your focus is. Cobweb lets you put real money on your focus sessions, so you have skin in the game. Reap the rewards of unbreakable concentration.

- Cheat-Proof Accountability: No more cheating your way out of focus sessions - our app keeps you honest, whether you like it or not. Once you start, there's no way to quit or disable the session.

- No More Tweaking Settings: Forget fiddling with settings or resorting to hacks like grayscale. No more half-measures - just hardcore focus.

- Results, Not Measurement: Instead of giving you a pretty chart of the time you've wasted, Cobweb actually keeps you off your phone.



WHO IT'S FOR:

- Students: Slacking ends now, genius. Cobweb is the app that slaps procrastination in the face. Dominate the books like a boss.

- Professionals: Get sh*t done like a pro. Cobweb whips your workday into shape with no distractions and no BS. Just real-deal focus sessions.

- Parents: Put the phone down and be the parent your little monsters need. Cobweb helps you focus on what matters most: raising an awesome family.

- Partners: Don't let your phone steal the spark. Cobweb keeps you attention where it belongs - on your partner, not on IG.

Once you build the habit, there’s no going back

Works super well. Really like the simplicity of use.

It took me a while to get used to starting a session when I want to read or do some work, but now it’s almost automatic because I like seeing how many hours I can rack up. Plus I think you can set reminders although I don’t always stick to them…

Please add a sharing feature so I can challenge friends to do a session with me in person.

Thanks for the support 🙏

Challenges that you can send to your friends are coming soon 👀 Stay tuned!

Excellent

Easy to use and does what it promises. Short of getting rid of your smartphone completely, this is your best strategy to leave it truly alone for a while.

Developer Response ,

No dumbphone necessary. Thanks for the support, stay focused 👊

Took me a while to get over the mental hump but since I did I’ve been really impressed. I’m much more focused on work. Very clever mind trick!
