Elqi is an app that through conscious interventions lowers social media addiction, cutting down doom scrolling and limiting screen time. Dopamine-driven phone sessions are cut short as Elqi turns technology back into a tool - not an escape.
Hey Product Hunt Family ✌️,
After 6 months of stealth mode hard coding, we are happy to launch the Elqi App that will help you to win back valuable screen time. After catching myself doom scrolling and loosing self control over my phone I decided to build a solution to win back my own mind.
With Elqi me and all tester have reported immense improvement in their Screen Time. As a lot of apps nowadays have been designed to make you release as much dopamine as possible it was important to me to build a tool against this mechanism.
Elqi gives you the control over your phone back, which a lot of us have been missing. How do we do that?
👉 we intervene before doom scrolling
👉 conscious exercise prior to addictive app use
👉 enforce reflective phone behaviour
Start saving valuable life time now!
I hope Elqi brings you as much joy and peace as I intended it to. Let us know of any feedback you would like to share.

I like the idea, it looks a lot like the onesec app and other screen time apps which I've tried but churn pretty quickly. My issue with these app blocking tools is that they basically just try to make the phone as frustrating / annoying to use as possible, and it's very tempting to disable the tool quickly. Similar to the built in iOS screen time limits that everybody just ignores. How is Elqi different from these existing tools?
Congrats! Have you conducted any studies or research to validate its effectiveness? Keep up the great work in helping us regain control over our phone usage!
Sounds like a tool many need including myself. I saw on AppStore it requires subscription. Can you say what’s the difference between paid and free version?
Never mind! Got it. It’s free for one app. Will give it a try now. 👍🏼👍🏼
This sounds like a game-changer for those struggling with phone addiction! How does Elqi differentiate itself from other apps targeting the same issue?
Just downloaded this app last night and its already been super helpful. I've been a lot more mindful with my social media app usage and can't wait to see how much I reduce my screen time! The functionality is also great, its so easy to set up.
