Hello Product Hunt Family! Let me introduce you to: Elqi. Your digital companion that takes care of your screen time and tracks your dopamine. With an automised mechanism that ensures lower screen time, users will have to go through cognitive interventions before being able to open addictive apps. Puzzles, meditations, custom videos and other cognitive exercises (that will be added) will make you refocus instead of doom scroll. At the same time we offer you insights into where your dopamine levels are, based on your daily usage. We are keeping on building solutions, so follow us and give us your feedback! Much Love, The Elqi Team

@mert_elqi such a great product and love the addition of the dopamine score and how it categorises phone usage and being able to monitor it!!

I’ve been using this app and it’s been super useful to limit the time I spend on Instagram!

Personally have a 186 day streak now, and it really has helped me to reduce my usage of socials. From using instagram more than an 1.5 hours a day, i have managed to get it to 40 min total per week. I love the breathing exercises that helped me reconsider my choice to use my phone at first, and have now become almost part of my daily routine to get my mind back into reality. Would definitely recommend!

Congrats on the launch! Elqi sounds like an awesome tool for managing screen time in a fun, engaging way—love the Duolingo-style approach to brain health. How does it track and interpret dopamine levels? Super curious to see how it personalizes recommendations based on individual habits!

Congrats on the launch! Elqi sounds great for managing screen time and tracking dopamine. Like Duolingo and Whoop combined, it’s very innovative and helpful for brain health.

Excellent product and great mission! Love that Elqi does not just stop at blocking phone usage but also provides activities to do, would be great if the activities can be personalized to each user in the future too!

Really interesting app and I think it’s a great way to limit my screen time, @mert_elqi will def give it a try! Good to see there’s still people out there combating social issues

Congrats on the launch! Elqi sounds like a cool way to keep our digital habits in check. How does it help us identify our dopamine triggers?

Looks sick! The only thing to note: Why is the duolingo for screentime a good thing? This makes it seem to me at least that you're trying hard to gamify screentime...which is kind of the opposite of what you want, right? Or maybe i misunerstood. Anyway, great work @mert_elqi

Congrats on your launch @mert_elqi, @thibault_knobloch! If this really works, it could provide a lot of value to sooo many people. I am curious how you manage to (1) measure brain health and (2) want to get people to using the app rather than directly opening their doom scrolling apps.

Excellent product, love the fact that it makes you cognitive exercises and mindfulness before you can induldge into the craving :D

It is a great mission, I do have a bit of cognitive dissonance with an Mobile app meant to make you look less at your mobile apps. In that, the effort for choosing that app and doing the games rather than opening Reddit falls on the user anyway. I want to like it, so feel free to share a different perspective!

It seems like we have the same purpose! :) Fighting screen addiction. Happy to see the progress you will achieve. GL! :)
