I built a screen time app that uses friends instead of blockers — would love feedback
Hey everyone 👋
I recently launched ScreenQuest, an Android screen time tracker built around a simple idea:
Blocking apps doesn’t work. Friends do.
After trying (and uninstalling 😅) multiple app blockers, I realized the problem isn’t a lack of tools — it’s a lack of accountability. Most blockers are easy to disable. It’s much harder to ignore the fact that your friends can see your screen time.
What ScreenQuest does:
👥 Share daily screen time with friends (you control what’s shared)
🏆 Leaderboards to make digital detox feel like a game
👋 Friendly “nudges” to stop doomscrolling
⚔️ Custom focus challenges with friends
📊 Accurate, battery-friendly Android usage tracking
No strict blocking. No shaming. Just visibility, motivation, and social pressure in a healthy way.
I’m genuinely looking for feedback:
Does social accountability help or stress you out?
Would you use something like this with friends or family?
What feature would actually help you reduce screen time?
I'm happy to answer questions, explain the technology behind it, or hear honest criticism.
Thanks for reading! 🚀
