Description
Cut your screen time by 40% — without willpower battles.
Pick up your phone for a "quick check" and lose 20 minutes? You're not weak — you're in the Scrolling Trance. The feed pulled you in. Rational mind offline. Algorithm on autopilot.
Detoxly is the AI-powered screen time blocker, app blocker, and distraction blocker that breaks the loop. A neuro-minimalist launcher that intercepts impulsive opens, interrupts doomscrolling on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Facebook, and Snapchat — and hands control back to your rational mind.
Don't just block apps. Break the compulsion.
HOW IT WORKS: ADAPTIVE FRICTION
Hard blocks create resistance, frustration, and workarounds. Detoxly works with your brain — a "conscious pause" at the exact moments that matter:
🛑 The Gatekeeper
Intercepts impulsive app opens, giving your rational brain a split-second to say "no" before the dopamine hit lands.
🧠 Reality Checks That Know Why You're Scrolling
The Comparison Trap on Instagram. The Slot Machine Effect on dating apps. Brain Rot from TikTok and Shorts. Detoxly matches the intervention to the exact loop pulling you in.
🤖 Cortex AI™ — Learns Your Weak Moments
On-device AI learns when you're most vulnerable and surfaces grounded reminders like "you closed Instagram 14 seconds ago." Cortex AI Pro reasons deeper: sharper Reality Checks in the moment, weekly Insight cards, and daily notification catch-ups.
📊 Health — Your Digital Wellbeing, Daily
A single composite score for compulsion, sleep, and recovery. The 8-week trend shows whether you're winning or drifting.
🔒 Focus Block — Deep Work Mode
Lock in for a Pomodoro, a deep-work block, or a meeting. Apps stay launchable but turn into Reality Check prompts the moment you reach. Post-session debrief shows held attempts, streaks, and your longest hold. Premium adds strict mode and grayscale.
🌑 Sensory Dampening
Exceed your daily limit and Detoxly dims the screen and fades audio — stripping the dopamine triggers that keep you hooked.
📱 Minimalist Text Launcher
Replace your cluttered home screen with a clean, text-only interface — the calm of a dumb phone, without giving up your smartphone.
🔔 Smart Notification Filter
Batch and hide non-urgent pings. Cortex AI Pro adds AI-generated TL;DR summaries of clustered notifications so you skim a day in seconds.

• Anyone tired of doomscrolling Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts
• Students and remote workers chasing focus and deep work
• Adults serious about digital detox, dopamine detox, and phone addiction recovery

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
Detoxly uses Android's AccessibilityService API only to detect which app is in the foreground, so it can interrupt distracting apps you've chosen to monitor. It never reads screen content, typed text, passwords, or keystrokes. All processing is on-device; nothing is uploaded, sold, or shared. You can revoke access anytime in your device's Accessibility settings.
Your brain is on autopilot. Time to wake up.
Download Detoxly — break the loop today.
Recent changes: ✨ Reality Checks now command more of the screen, and the option to keep going appears after a short pause — so stepping away is the easy choice, and continuing is a deliberate one.

Comments on Detoxly - AI Screen Time Block for Android
★★★★★John Lemuel Quizol· Mar 15, 2026
Hi I love the app and its functions. I think it served its purpose well, but I do have a suggestion that would make the interface experience more seamless. I would appreciate it if you guys include the gestures option in systems navigation and not just buttons. I've gotten used to just swiping here and there and reverting to buttons feels uncomfortable. Thanks.
★★★★★Tarikul Islam· Feb 28, 2026
I’ve tried many productivity apps, but this is the first one that actually helped me reclaim my time. Instead of losing hours to mindless scrolling, I’m finally spending that time on things that matter in the real world. The interface is intuitive, and the features are exactly what I needed to break the social media loop. Thank you to the developers for building something that prioritizes the user’s well-being over screen time!
★★★★★Elman Hossen· Feb 28, 2026
This app does exactly what it promises. It helped me slash my social media usage and be more present in my daily life. If you're looking for a way to get off your phone and back into the real world, this is it. Great job, Dev!
★★☆☆☆T Nilsson· Apr 13, 2026
This app is a mess. It's annoying that the keyboard pops up every time you go to the app list, and I hate that the app interruptions are just the same with different words and easily circumvented, although it does tell you can't ask for more time after five snoozes, but that's just annoying, and you can close and reopen. Also don't like that it only does interruptions after you've hit your defined time limit for the day. And it won't let you choose any search engine for home screen.
