Do your habits before you scroll
Do your habits before you scroll
Broc is a habit app blocker that restricts access to specific social media and entertainment apps such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube until the user completes a set of daily habits. The app replaces the typical open screen of a blocked app with its own lock screen, which remains in place until the designated habits are finished. There is no snooze button or emergency bypass; the user must earn screen time by completing the habits. The workflow involves selecting which apps to block and defining the habits to complete each day. When a user opens a blocked app, Broc’s lock screen appears and cannot be dismissed until the habits are done. The app includes an AI photo verification feature that allows users to submit a photo as proof of a completed habit; the AI confirms the photo’s validity before unlocking the restricted apps. Streaks track consecutive days of habit completion. Broc is free to use on Android, with no advertisements. A paid tier called Broc Pro offers unlimited habits, custom unlock durations, AI photo verification, and full history, along with a 7-day free trial. The app only monitors which app is currently open in order to compare it against the block list; it does not perform keylogging, screen recording, or collect browsing history, as detailed in the privacy policy. An iOS version is in development, and users can sign up to receive notification when it becomes available.
