The problem in their words
People say they are addicted to their phone and procrastinate everything, some reaching 8 hours of screen time a day. Some can focus for only about five minutes before picking the phone up again, and scrolling in bed is hard to resist. They can build a wall when thinking clearly, but they tear it down later in a weak moment.

If you tested it
A headline for the page: “Set your phone limits once and keep them when the urge hits”
Test first: The riskiest assumption is that people will accept a block they truly cannot undo; a page that states this plainly and still gets sign-ups would show it.
- Build a one-page site that explains the blocker is set when clear-headed and cannot be switched off on impulse, with a waitlist sign-up.
- Share it in self-improvement, productivity, discipline and study threads where people ask how to stop scrolling.
- Treat steady sign-ups, plus replies asking for the strictest setting, as a yes to keep going.
