Dopa Toll

Dopa Toll shows what the time you lose to distracting apps is worth, in dollars, at your own hourly rate, and itemizes it like a bill. The dollars are a mirror, not a charge: the actual toll is virtual coins, earned by focusing. No real money is ever charged to unlock an app.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Screen-time apps usually do one of two things: block (you'll just unblock it) or reward (you stop caring about the tree). Dopa Toll is the third way, a toll. Each distracting app gets a small daily free pass; past it, every open has a visible price in coins, with the real value of your time (in $, at your rate) shown at the exact moment you decide. You can always get through, you just see the cost first.

KEY FEATURES

• Toll-based app limits built on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) . a shield appears when a guarded app opens
• Your own hourly rate turns minutes into dollars: "$47 of your time this week" reads differently than "7 hours"
• Daily free pass per app; past the cap, unlocks cost coins (5 min = 15, 10 min = 35, 15 min = 60 — longer costs more per minute)
• Earn coins with 25-minute Pomodoro focus sessions; a 30-coin daily floor means you're never completely locked out
• Walk away from any unlock screen ("Stay Strong") at no cost; lock back early and unused coins are refunded
• Today is an itemized bill of what you opened and what that time was worth; Stats gives weekly, monthly, and all-time statements
• Optional stricter modes: a cross-app Day Cap, bedtime mode, different caps on work days vs rest days

WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES

Opens become deliberate. You can still get in, but you decide with the price visible at the moment of choice, not in a report a week later, and the next morning's receipt keeps you honest. Friction, not punishment: free passes, refunds, and the daily coin floor mean it never turns into a lockout you'll rage-uninstall.

PRIVACY & PRICING

• No accounts, no analytics SDKs, no ads — your usage data stays on your iPhone (and your own iCloud)
• Free to download and use; optional Pro ($39.99/year with a 7-day trial, or lifetime) adds monthly/all-time statements and stricter-mode dials
• iPhone, iOS 18+

WHO IT'S FOR

People who've tried blockers and gotten good at uninstalling them — anyone who wants less doomscrolling on Instagram, TikTok, or X without going cold turkey.
