Built an app that makes you earn screen time through learning - would love your feedback!

Hey Product Hunt makers! 👋

After 8 months of solo development (with lots of AI assistance), I finally launched my first app and would love this community's thoughts!

I was frustrated with screen time apps that just block things and make you feel guilty when you "fail." I knew there had to be a better psychological approach for this.

CaBBy's Brain Bites makes you EARN your screen time through daily learning goals instead of restricting it.

Morning notification gets you started (instead of scrolling when you wake up)

Complete daily goals: answer questions accurately, get streaks, maintain performance, even stretch for 10 minutes

Each goal earns you hours of guilt-free screen time

Real-time notification tracks earned vs used all day

Leftover time = positive score tomorrow, overtime = negative score for tomorrow

The psychology shift: When you have to earn every minute, you naturally become more intentional. No more mindless scrolling because you actually value the time you worked for.

Built with React Native + Firebase, currently Android only (sorry iPhone users!). Still has some bugs to iron out since it's brand new, but the core concept is working better than I expected.

If anyone has an Android device and struggles with phone addiction, I'd love for you to try it and share honest feedback. What works? What doesn't? What would make you actually stick with it?

Also curious - as fellow makers, what's your experience with behavioral design vs restriction-based solutions?

You can find it by searching "CaBBy's Brain Bites" on Google Play, or I can share the link if that's allowed here.

Thanks for reading this far! Building solo is lonely, so any feedback from this awesome community would mean the world 🙏
