Thanks, been testing it myself as a doomscroller and works fine so far lol

All existing apps rely on willpower to not bypass them, which might work for a couple of weeks. But then I fall back into the same cycle—to the point where I forget these apps were even installed.

So I built an app where friends keep me accountable. You set a limit, and once you hit it, you actually have to ask a friend for an extension. The first version is live now on the App Store and Play Store—just search Powermate. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
