Baseline: Dopamine Detox
Reset focus and reclaim attention
IAN JACOB BURY
Description
Set daily screen time limits for specific apps. Block access to distracting apps during focused work periods. Track usage patterns and receive notifications when limits are approached.
Baseline helps you restore your sensitivity to the things that actually matter.
Modern apps are engineered to hijack your attention. Endless scrolling, instant rewards, and algorithmic feeds raise your dopamine baseline—making real life feel dull, unfocused, and harder to enjoy.
Baseline is an intentional-use app designed to help you break compulsive phone habits and redirect your time toward more meaningful activities.
How Baseline works
1. The Shield
Add friction to high-dopamine apps.
When you try to open a distracting app, Baseline creates a mindful pause—giving you a moment to decide if it’s intentional or automatic.
2. The Menu
Lower the barrier to better alternatives.
Baseline surfaces simple, offline activities you can do instead—so choosing something healthier takes less effort than doom-scrolling.
3. Daily Goals
Build awareness and consistency.
Set a daily intention and track your progress as you practice being more deliberate with your attention.
Designed for real behavior change
No streak pressure
No gamification traps
No feeds or notifications competing for your focus
Baseline doesn’t try to maximize engagement. It’s designed to help you use your phone less—on purpose.
