CLUSTER DISTRACTING-HABITS-SCREEN · 31 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2021-08-17
Screen time habit reward apps
This cluster consists of mobile apps that block distracting apps and reward users with screen time for completing healthy habits. The dated entries before the index start show an uneven pattern: sparse in 2021 and 2023, then a higher frequency from late 2025 through mid-2026. The traction leaders, based on activity signal, are Brick - Ditch Distractions, Screen Time Control: Hazel, and Control Dopamine: Screen Time, all with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
