Cactus - Digital Detox

Spending too much time on your phone? Need a screen detox? Traditional approaches of timers and rewards not working for you?

Quite often we find ourselves mindlessly using our phone for no apparent reason. We lose our most precious resource, time. Many apps offer rewards to make staying off your phone more attractive.

Cactus takes another approach. An extreme approach. The NUCLEAR OPTION: Embarrassment!
Flashing lights, loud noises and vibrating out of control. Unlock your phone and set off these traps. Triggering Cactus is the LAST thing you’ll want to do meaning you'll stay off your phone as planned.

Cactus is a simple app. Choose your features and set a timer. If you unlock your phone while Cactus is active, the phone will erupt. Put the phone back to sleep and Cactus will calm. We use Apple’s Guided Access to keep the app active when you put the phone to sleep.

So, if you’ve tried everything else, and you want something that will really break your bad habits, then download Cactus now. Whether you are studying, working, or spending time with your friends, activate Cactus and stay off your phone.

Features:
- Choose from a wide range of sounds to play when you trigger Cactus.
- Vibration, flash and sound can be toggled to suit your environment.
- Set your timer and be rewarded when you meet your goal.
- A generous 3-second grace-period to quickly put your phone to sleep.
