I built an app to fix my phone addiction, then procrastinated on launching it for 11 days
Honestly, I'm the worst user of my own idea. I'd wake up, grab my phone "just to check something," and suddenly it's 9am. So I built bedo with AI. I studied marketing and never learned to code. Here's how it works: you make a deal with bedo. Every morning, you tell it what you'll do today and how you'll prove it. Like "Go to the gym, and take a selfie when I'm there," or "Read for 30 minutes, then snap the page I stopped on." Once the deal is set, TikTok and other distracting apps get locked. They only unlock when you send the proof you agreed on. I've tried Opal and Pomodoro timer apps before. They lock your phone for a set time, then unlock it automatically. The problem is they only check that you didn't touch your phone, not that you actually did the thing. I'd say I'm going to the gym, then lie on the couch for an hour, and everything unlocks anyway. I'd say I'm reading for 30 minutes, then just stare at the book. bedo doesn't care about time. It cares about results. The funny part: I planned to submit it to the App Store on Oct 23. I kept polishing tiny things and finally submitted it 11 days later. Turns out an app can't fix perfectionism lol. It's waiting for review now. Would you actually use something like this, or would you delete it the first time it locked you out?
