Why your phone wins every time

The dopamine loop is not a metaphor. It is a product spec, and you are the one being specified.

The first 72 hours of a phone lock

Hour by hour: the bargaining, the phantom buzz, the boredom that feels like an emergency, and the part nobody warns you about.

Doom scrolling isn't a habit, it's a designed outcome

QUESTIONS BEFORE THE LOCK.

> Can I cancel the lock early?
Not from your phone. That is the feature. Your key holder can trigger an emergency override if something genuinely urgent happens.
> Does it drain my battery?
No. Blocking runs through the operating system's own screen-time permissions, so there is no background scraping of your activity.
> What data do you collect?
As little as possible. Lock settings and elapsed lock time. NoPhone does not read the content of anything you browse.
> Is it free?
Yes. A short ad plays before a lock activates, and the key is only sent after it closes. A retry never charges you another ad.
