A digital detox that works by substitution
By Bottle Me
App blockers treat the symptom. The reason you reach for your phone at 11pm rarely disappears because a timer says no — but it can be redirected.
Why substitution beats restriction
The reflex wants low-effort stimulation. Filling a bottle satisfies that with an activity that ends on its own instead of scrolling forever.
Sessions with a natural end
A finished bottle is a stopping point. Feeds have none, which is the entire design problem.
Nothing pulling you back
No notifications begging for a return visit, no ads, no feed to refresh.
