iPhone + Apple Watch

Move. Breathe. Do.
Unlock.

Dopi puts a healthy obstacle between you and doomscrolling. Shield the apps that steal your time, then earn access back by doing something real - squats, a breathing exercise, a glass of water, a moment of reflection. Do something first. Scroll later.

How It Works

Access is earned, not automatic.

Built-in screen time limits fail because "Ignore Limit" is one tap away. Dopi replaces that tap with a real activity - validated on your device, not on the honor system.

1

Shield your distractions

Pick the apps, categories, and websites you open compulsively. Dopi shields them using Apple's Screen Time technology - your selections never leave your device.

2

Complete a real challenge

Want your feed back? Earn it. Do camera-counted squats, finish a box breathing session, log a glass of water, solve quick math, or write an honest reflection. Keeping the screen open is never enough - every challenge is actively validated.

3

Enjoy your earned window

A valid completion unlocks your apps for a set window - 15 minutes by default, and earned time stacks. When it runs out, the shield comes back automatically. No willpower required.

Challenge Library

Pick your healthy friction

A growing library of 20+ challenge modules built around your body, breath, and mindset. Every one is validated on-device - no cheating, no cloud.

Camera-Validated

Squat to Unlock

Your iPhone's front camera counts real squats using Apple's on-device Vision framework. Depth, hold, and timing are all checked - a half-hearted bounce doesn't count. Finish your set and your apps unlock for the earned window.

  • Real-time pose detection with Apple Vision - fully on-device
  • Validates depth, hold, and tempo - not just motion
  • Camera frames are processed in memory and never stored or uploaded
  • The perfect morning activation before your first scroll

New · Apple Health

Real workouts pay automatically

Connect Apple Health and Dopi rewards your actual life - no phone in hand, no challenge screen, no logging. A Dopi Plus feature.

Workout rewards

Finish a real workout - recorded by your Apple Watch, Strava, Hevy, or any app that writes to Health - and minutes land in your bank automatically. A 45-minute session pays about 22 minutes of screen time, even with Dopi closed.

Sleep reward

Rest pays too. Sleep 7½ hours or more and Dopi banks bonus minutes in the morning - because the best screen-time habit starts the night before.

Step goal auto-claim

Cross your daily step goal and the reward claims itself - you just get the good news: "🎉 Step goal reached! Here's 15 minutes, already banked."

Honest by design

Manually typed Health entries never count - only workouts recorded by a real source. Auto rewards have their own daily cap, and your Health data never leaves your device.

Your Built-in Coach

Earn it. Bank it. Spend it when you choose.

Dopi doesn't just lock apps - it runs your whole earn-and-spend day, and nudges you at exactly the right moments.

The Time Bank

Rewards never auto-start a timer. Every earned minute lands in your bank, and you press play when you actually want to scroll. Unspent time resets at midnight - every day is a fresh start.

Wellness reminders

Opt-in nudges that pay: drink water every three hours, stretch at 3 PM, breathe twice a day, walk in the afternoon. Each reminder links straight to the challenge that banks the minutes.

Notifications that respect you

A celebration when you earn, a heads-up before banked minutes expire, a gentle streak-saver if you go quiet - capped per day, silent during quiet hours, every type individually switchable.

Featured challenges

Limited-time events open a premium challenge to everyone - free and Plus alike. Watch the home screen for the highlight; when it's live, it's free for all.

Dopi Watch
Your ring, your timer, your alarms - one glance away.
Apple Watch Companion

Your wrist, your progress.

The Dopi Watch companion keeps your protection status, earned-time countdown, and daily progress one glance away - and lets you act without touching your phone.

  • Pause and play from the wrist: control your earned-time timer without touching your phone - pause mid-session and your remaining minutes bank safely.
  • Status at a glance: a protection ring with your countdown and banked minutes, today's earned time, completed challenges, and reps.
  • Set exercise alarms with the crown: tap a number, turn the Digital Crown, done - a wake-up alarm with a challenge attached, created in seconds.
  • Workouts count automatically: with Apple Health connected, every workout your Watch records banks screen time on its own - no wrist logging needed.
  • Watch face complication: protection state and today's earned minutes, right on your face.

The Watch app is an optional companion - your iPhone always stays in charge of what unlocks. No Watch? Everything works on iPhone alone.

Why It Works

Trade scroll time for a better day

Every unlock becomes a small win. Over a week, those wins add up to something you can feel.

You'll move more

Squats, planks, walks, and stretches replace mindless taps. If you unlock your feed four times a day, that's four movement breaks you weren't taking before.

You'll scroll with intention

The 15-minute window changes how scrolling feels. You earned it, it's finite, and when it ends, the decision to continue is a real decision - not a reflex.

You'll build a pause

Breathing sessions and reflection prompts insert a gap between impulse and action. That gap is where habits change - many urges simply pass while you're mid-breath.

You'll see your progress

Daily and lifetime stats, streaks, and a durable challenge history show exactly how much movement, breathing, and focus you've traded for your screen time.

A note on wellbeing: Dopi is a self-control and habit tool - not a health, medical, or fitness product. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition, and nothing in the app or on this site is medical advice. Choose activities that are right for your body, and talk to a qualified professional about your health.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can't I just cheat and keep the screen open?

No. Every challenge is actively validated: the camera counts real squats and planks, breathing requires the app to stay in the foreground for the full cycle, journals require genuine-length responses after a mandatory delay, and math needs correct answers. Keeping a screen open earns you nothing.

What happens when my earned time runs out?

Dopi automatically re-shields your selected apps. Want more time? Complete another challenge - earned time stacks, up to a daily cap that keeps the system honest.

Do I need an account?

No. Dopi works fully without an account. Signing in with Apple is optional and adds cloud backup of your coarse stats and membership so they follow you to a new iPhone.

Can I turn Dopi off if I need to?

Yes - Dopi is voluntary self-control, not a parental lock. You can pause protection from Settings at any time. The point is adding friction to reflexive scrolling, and it turns out that's enough for most urges to pass.
