iOS App Coming Soon

TAKE BACK YOUR ATTENTION

Your phone was engineered to hijack your brain. Infinite scroll. Variable rewards. Notification anxiety. CTRL fights back with behavioral psychology and anti-dopamine design.

No spam Early access Free tier

Every app on your phone was built by teams of engineers whose singular mission is to maximize your time on screen.

They weaponize psychology against you. We're building the antidote. CTRL uses the same behavioral science—but in reverse. We succeed when you put your phone down.

No gamification. No streaks. No dopamine tricks. Just tools that work with your brain, not against it.

01

Anti-Dopamine Design

We remove the hooks that keep you coming back. No variable rewards, no red notification badges, no infinite feeds. Boring by design.

02

Behavioral Architecture

Small friction, big impact. We add intentional barriers that interrupt autopilot behavior and give your prefrontal cortex time to catch up.

03

Radical Transparency

We show you exactly what we're doing and why. No dark patterns. No hidden persuasion. You stay in control.

04

Respect for Attention

Your attention is finite and valuable. We never compete for it. Our metrics are inverse: less time in-app means we're winning.

AI that works for you, not on you.

Big Tech uses AI to predict your behavior and exploit it. We use AI to understand your patterns and protect you from them.

Predictive Intervention

AI detects when you're about to spiral into mindless scrolling and intervenes before the dopamine loop starts.

Adaptive Friction

Learns your vulnerability windows and adjusts intervention intensity. More protection when you need it, less when you don't.

Pattern Recognition

Surfaces insights about your digital habits you can't see yourself. Knowledge is the first step to change.

Conversational Coach

Talk to an AI that actually wants you to close the app. Get real-time support when willpower isn't enough.

On-Device Processing

Your behavior data never leaves your phone. AI runs locally—your patterns are yours alone.

Context-Aware

Understands the difference between productive work and procrastination. Smart enough to stay out of your way.

We believe AI should amplify human agency, not replace it. CTRL's intelligence is designed to make you more aware and more intentional—then get out of the way.
