Tools: I built an app to stop myself spiralling down porn and doomscrolling

Three of us, recently graduated software engineers from Australia. We've all dealt with this stuff personally. We got sick of every app, every algorithm, every platform being designed to extract as much attention from you as possible — and nobody really building tools to fight back.
