DetoxApp is a calm digital detox timer for iPhone and iPad. Tap Start and Screen Time locks your other apps and websites until you end the session. The screen slowly changes color as your quiet time grows, and a calendar rewards each day: bronze at 4 hours, silver at 8, gold at 12, a crown at 16+. Free with ads, never during a session. Premium adds stats and removes ads. Your records stay on your device, and no account is needed.

Could you build this?
Yes A calm timer app that uses Apple's Screen Time API to block other apps, plus a streak calendar, is a standard SwiftUI app. The main hurdle is Apple's entitlement approval, which is a process issue rather than a technical barrier.
