The app that helps you stop mindlessly checking other apps
# Productivity ToolsWhat is Enso - Reduce Screen Time?
Enso helps you stop mindlessly checking apps by blocking them and building better phone habits. Set app limits, use focus modes, and finally feel in control of your screen time. It’s like having a dumb phone, when you need one.
Problem
Users struggle with mindlessly checking apps, leading to excessive screen time and reduced productivity. Traditional solutions like manual self-control or basic screen-time trackers lack proactive enforcement and habit-building mechanisms.
Solution
A mobile app that blocks distracting apps and enforces focus modes, allowing users to set app limits, schedule focus sessions, and track screen time. Example: Block social media during work hours and enable "dumb phone" mode.
Customers
Busy professionals, remote workers, students, and individuals seeking digital detox. Demographics: Ages 18-45, tech-savvy, employed in knowledge-based roles.
