MindGate: Focus App Blocker
Screen Time & Dopamine Detox
Free · In-App Purchases
Most app blockers just say NO. MindGate makes you think first — and most people change their mind themselves. That's how you actually break the habit.
You open Instagram for "just a second." Forty minutes later you're still scrolling. It's not weakness — it's autopilot. MindGate breaks the cycle with one simple idea: before you enter, your brain has to wake up first.
HOW IT WORKS
1. SOLVE A CHALLENGE TO UNLOCK
Every time you try to open a blocked app, MindGate interrupts the autopilot with a quick brain challenge:
Math Problems — solve an equation before you scroll
Breathing Exercise — calm your nervous system, then decide
Stroop Test — forces your brain from autopilot to active mode
Typing — type a phrase to confirm you actually want to be here
Most people close the app themselves. That's the point.
2. SET YOUR SESSION TIME
You decide how long you need — 5, 10, 20 minutes or custom. No surprises.
3. AUTO RE-LOCK
When time's up, MindGate locks the app automatically. No "just five more minutes."
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See how much time you reclaim each day. Weekly and monthly trends show how your habits change over time.
