Zario is the first AI that roasts you out of doom scrolling by tricking your mind, blocking your phone and sometimes pushing a dopamine hit even before you enter distracting apps. Zario has customized "doors" that makes you think twice before entering doom.
After tweaking, testing, interviewing and listening to PH and the world, we've made Zario AI. The first AI that can roast you, block you, be strict or funny. The only algorithm and AI that's actively working to make more time for what's important to you.
We built a lot of cool features, like strict mode which turns your phone into a brick and blocks all distracting apps. You can even activate an accountability fee of $2. If you're familiar with the concept of loss aversion, you know it's powerful.
Just added the "doors" feature, which shares interesting facts, and inappropriate jokes in an effort to give you a little dopamine boost even before entering the doom scrolling apps.
Most of the novel features are only available on iOS for now, but we do have an Android app with many cool and unique features. Let us know if you have any ideas, feedback or what you like/dislike in the comments :)
The app actually worked quite well for me! It has a nice way of telling me to stop using my phone when I doom scroll
Cool idea! Who doesn't need this?
Also really great content on your website regarding the science behind it.
This is very helpful to me. I often find that once I get absorbed in my phone, time passes quickly without me realizing it. By the time I notice, one or two hours may have already gone by.😂
Impressive! This seems like a product that will become essential for modern life—including for me, of course! 🤣Congrats on the launch !🎉
Really appreciate the vision behind that. Tho I am not using the smartphone so much (my screen time on laptop would need this) :D
Love this creative, humorous approach to a very real epidemic of doomscroll-itis. Noticed you reference an article talking about screentime impact on children. Any plans for a child-friendly version of this app?
