Description
D.off helps you break free from phone addiction without willpower. Set time limits per app group, and when you hit them, unlock by writing out a sentence — three on the free tier — or swap one for a 30-second exercise. That pause breaks the autopilot scroll. 70+ achievements, sleep lock (Premium), site blocking across six major browsers, and 7 languages. No ads. The sentence library ships inside the app, so unlocking works with no network.

Could you build this?
No Enforcing device-level app limits, hijacking app launches, and monitoring screen time requires native OS accessibility services on Android or the heavily restricted Screen Time / Family Controls APIs and MDM profiles on iOS.
What it would actually take: Building this requires native Swift/Kotlin code interacting with platform-specific restriction frameworks (Apple's Screen Time / FamilyControls API or Android's AccessibilityService and UsageStatsManager). The hardest parts are getting Apple entitlements approved for FamilyControls, preventing OS-level task killing of background services, and creating an unkillable blocking overlay UI.
