An urge is a wave - it swells, crests, and passes. KalmDown gives you the tools to ride each one out: a lock with a passcode even you don't know, a coach for the moment the urge hits, and your own voice reminding you why.
I've scrolled too much for years. I would swear off it, but then at 1am I would tell myself just one more video, and suddenly it was 3am.
I tried a lot of blocker apps, but every one of them was easy to get around. Whenever the urge hit, I was always the version of me who would find the way around it.
So I built what I needed. An urge is like a wave. It builds up, peaks, and then passes within a few minutes, as long as you don't give in to it. You just have to get through those few minutes.
The main tool is a lock. It picks a passcode for you and reads it out one character at a time while you set it, and it scrambles it so you never actually learn what it is. Since you never memorize it, there is nothing to type in later when you want to undo it. There is also a coach that remembers what triggers you, and you can record your own voice explaining why you are doing this, so it plays back on the lock screen when you start to give in.
It is brand new, and I would really love to know what you think. I built it as someone who is still fighting the same habit.
The unknown passcode trick is actually clever, it stops me from caving when I'm right there in the moment. The voice reminder piece feels like it would hit different than just reading a note to yourself.
One thing I'd love to see is a short "why I started" note you write during setup and can pull up instantly with one tap, so when the urge hits hard there's no fumbling around. The prebuilt coach prompts are great, but hearing my own words in that exact moment would hit way harder.
