CLUSTER SCREEN-TIME-VIRTUAL · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-01-27
Virtual pet screen time blockers
The cluster consists of screen-time control apps that block distracting apps during focus sessions or usage limits, using a virtual pet that grows or evolves with progress to encourage adherence. The dated entry history (six entries, all before index start) appears sporadically: one each in Dec 2025 and Jan ............, a gap until May with two entries, then one each in Jun and Jul ............, Budli leads on traction among named leaders, though all listed leaders show zero 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.
