Hey Product Hunt Community! 👋

I'm Jonas, co-creator of the iOS app Pavlov – Less Screentime.

We built Pavlov to help you fight back against the manipulative strategies of social media giants. We want you to own yourself again.

Have you ever caught yourself doomscrolling for hours without even enjoying the content?

Do you instinctively reach for your phone during short breaks, only to feel anxious from all the notifications?

You're not alone. You are conditioned to behave this way. Social media companies spend billions of dollars for your attention. It`s time to take control of your life again.

So why should you choose Pavlov? 🤔

🧠 Control. Our goal is to empower you. Pavlov lets you restrict distracting apps - not by blocking them outright, but by introducing a small delay before you can open them. This delay, based on cognitive science, adapts to your behavior and helps break the habit loop.

😇 No Judgment. Screen time isn't inherently good or bad. It’s personal. Pavlov doesn’t compare you to others or shame your usage. We just give you the tools to make changes on your own terms.

🛠️ Simplicity. Pavlov is designed like a remote control for your digital life. The interface is clean, intuitive, and built for efficiency - no distractions.

💸 Free. Pavlov is completely free to download on the App Store. We have no plans to change that anytime soon.

🚫 No Ads. Ever. We’ll never run ads in Pavlov. Our mission is to reduce screen time, not increase it. Advertising does the opposite and we refuse to play that game.

So are you ready to take back the control of your habits? Then download Pavlov now on the iOS App Store. The app is available worldwide.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, or feedback. Thanks for checking us out! 🙌
