I’m building an app to fight phone addiction called "Dopamine Jail". It's in the early stages, and I want you to help me shape its future.

Hey Everyone.
Like many of you, I’ve been struggling with focus. The constant pull of social media and doomscrolling was ruining my productivity. So, as an indie developer, I decided to stop complaining and start building a tool to fix it: Dopamine Jail.
Right now, it’s in its very first version. At its core, it is a clean, no-nonsense focus timer designed to help you lock in and get things done. But I don't want it to stay just a simple timer—I want it to evolve into a tool that actually works for us.
This is where I need your help.
I’m looking for early adopters to test it out and tell me what to build next. What features would actually help you put your phone down? Gamification? Strict modes? Statistics?
I’ve created a Discord community where we can brainstorm ideas, report bugs, and support each other's focus goals. If you enjoy testing new apps and want a real say in how a product is developed, I would be honored to have you on board. You can literally help design the next update.
