Dictionary

dorf mode noun

your phone, but nerfed.

to dorf verb

to block the apps that keep pulling you back in.

The problem

Do Not Disturb stops your notifications. It does nothing about the apps you open without thinking.

Do Not Disturb

Silences the buzz. The apps are still one tap away.

Dorf Mode

Locks the apps themselves. The autopilot tap goes nowhere.

How it works

01

Start a session

Relaxing, sleeping, studying, working, or just cutting back — set a timer for however long you need.

02

Choose what to block

Pick the apps that eat your time. They stay locked for the whole session.

03

Put your phone down

That's it. No dashboards to check. No streaks to keep. The screen goes quiet.

Two modes

Easy

Bypassable

Need out early? You can — but only with a deliberate press and hold. Long enough to ask yourself if you really mean it.

Try it — press and hold

Strict

No bypass

Apps stay blocked until the timer ends. No "just this once." No way around it. You committed when you started.

Plus a few ambient sounds — minimal, optional, for when you want quiet while your apps stay blocked.

No dashboards · No streaks · No account
