Grimby — App Blocker &Focus

A reaper who grows every time you scroll. Stop feeding him.

What it does

Most screen time apps show data and hope you change. Grimby is different. Grimby grows stronger every time you exceed your goal — and weakens when you stay within it. Not just data. A consequence you can see. What makes Grimby stand out: - A reaper who reacts to your habits - App blocking that kicks in at your limit - Routine lock — block your phone during set periods - 20+ skins to customize your Grimby - Levels system based on your daily usage Willpower alone doesn't work. Grimby does.

    Digital Carrot – Block social media with programmable rules and goalsJan 2026 · digitalcarrot.app · ▲39

For example, if you want to create a goal to finish all of the tasks in your to-do list you could do something like…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
