LOOK: The Screen Time Game 4+

The app that gives your life back

The digital age, for all its glittering promises of connection and convenience, has made us lonely. LOOK is a friend and guide in this wilderness; reminding us screen addiction is less a crisis of willpower than a byproduct of design: persuasive architectures built not for human flourishing, but for monetized distraction. We swipe not because we want to, but because the interface has trained us, eyes glazed. LOOK emerges as sanctuary here, an invitation to reclaim the rhythm of our days.  Each morning begins with a “mini mission,” prompting creativity and reflection. These aren’t tasks to checked off, but invitations to inhabit a life more authentically. (It’s gamified, so you get points and money because we live in a world where you need to buy things to live.) But the true reward lies in the moments of clarity and connection that these nudges foster. This is a digital companion that respects our autonomy while guiding us towards balance and the richness of our offline lives. By encouraging us to look up, look around, and look within, LOOK pushes us toward the beauty of the moment when we set our devices down, and turn our gaze toward each other.

Really helped me!

I’ve tried all the other blockers and schedulers out there but I always ended up deleting them. I love how this app doesn’t lock you out entirely but helps you be more intentional and reconsider if this is really a good choice. I’ve been doing the meditations instead of scrolling and I love earning points and they are also really helpful. I’ve never done meditations like this before and I really like them!

Developer Response ,

We love this! You’re not alone--turning it into a game taps into our natural motivation in a way that just works (especially for those of us who hate losing 😄). And we’re so glad you’re enjoying the daily cards too! They’re designed to give spark of insight & encouragement to help set you up with a helpful mindset and perspective for the day Thanks for sharing your experience! – Tait & Jenny

It actually works

I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app before but this app is amazing. I installed it several days ago and have seriously curbed my scrolling. I see that the app I want to limit is greyed out, so I think twice about using it. But since I know I CAN use it if I choose, it doesn’t feel forbidden so I don’t feel stressed about it. Can’t wait to see the future features! It’s a winner.
