An Android app blocker that interrupts doomscrolling with humorous cards, routines, focus sprints, and a gesture-based exit.

Why it surfaced

OpLoop replaces the usual grey wall with lines such as “Skill issue” and “I guess my reminders mean nothing,” turning the caught-in-the-act moment into its mechanism. The site says it has 1,524 block cards in 10 languages and keeps app lists, blocking records, and usage stats on the device.
