Dhumb watches.
Dhumb sees how long you've been on instagram. Dhumb sees the third tiktok in a row. Dhumb sees the reddit deep-dive at 1am. Dhumb sees everything, and dhumb has comments.
Dhumb interrupts.
When you've crossed the line - and dhumb decides where the line is - you'll get a notification. It will not be encouraging. It will be specific. It will probably hurt a little.
dhumb works
most apps treat you like a child who needs restrictions. they lock your screen, force breathing exercises, gamify your discipline. you disable them within a week.
dhumb treats you like an adult who already knows the problem. dhumb just refuses to let you pretend you don't.
the blocker apps work until you turn them off. dhumb works because you can't turn off being seen.
Dhumb stays.
Dhumb doesn't block your apps. Dhumb doesn't lock your phone. Dhumb just lives there now, watching, taking notes, becoming more disappointed in you with every passing day. The choice is still yours. Dhumb just makes it harder to pretend.
