nightmare

What it does

Every morning your apps go dark. To unlock them, you do one concrete move, tuned to who you are. Finish it and the day is yours. Your island grows with you, progress never resets, and nothing you write is stored on our servers. The app tries to reset the scroll habit: complete something real before the reward. Backed by Big Five, Premack and Marlatt. Take the free personality test with a funny archetype card and a code at the end that shapes the app around you, takes 2 min (nightmare.app/test).

Pick the apps you lose time to. They stay dark until you do one small thing, chosen for you from a personality test. iOS.

Life doesn't hold still, so neither does your island. It moves through states, from what you do, how often, how long. 16,500 people have taken it. You get your archetype, and a code that tunes the app to you. Online you only see the wins. Here people share the bad days too. Just started, still small. Big Five reads who you are. Premack makes the feed the reward. Marlatt is why one miss isn't thefrom nightmare.app
