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! 🚀
