QuietQuota

QuietQuota is a mobile app (iOS/Android) that helps users cap “algorithmic feed” time (short-form video, infinite scroll feeds) while leaving functional phone use alone. Instead of blunt app blocking, it uses a daily quota that’s split into small “tokens” and spent only when you enter recognized feed surfaces. When tokens run out, the app doesn’t lock you out completely—it adds friction: a 20-second delay, a required intention prompt, and an optional one-tap switch to a healthier alternative (podcast, reading list, walk timer). It also shows a simple weekly report: where feed time leaked, which triggers preceded it (time of day, location, notifications), and what substitutions worked. The goal is realistic reduction, not perfection. It’s designed for people who hate preachy wellness apps and just want their evenings back without breaking their phone.
