Kilo Payments Launches DopaFast App to Tackle Smartphone Addiction

Kilo Payments, Inc., a prominent mobile application developer based in Vilnius, Lithuania, has introduced a new iOS app named DopaFast. This app is designed to help manage and reduce screen time, targeting smartphone addiction and fostering healthier screen usage habits. DopaFast is noted for its unique and robust method of blocking access to selected apps, enhancing its effectiveness.

The app allows users to block distracting apps selectively during specific times — for example, social media apps during work hours and work-related apps during leisure time. This customizable approach enables users to create a schedule that suits their daily patterns. Furthermore, DopaFast features two blocking modes: Normal and Hard. The Normal mode allows temporary lifting of restrictions, whereas the Hard mode enforces a stricter limit, locking down the chosen apps for the set duration without allowing changes.

Research highlights the detrimental effects of excessive screen time on both mental and physical health, noting its association with depression, anxiety, and a diminished reward system response in the brain. Apps like DopaFast are proving crucial in managing online activity and mitigating the adverse effects of dopamine-driven digital addiction. Data indicates that with effective management, users could significantly reduce the time spent on screens, reclaiming valuable time otherwise lost to digital environments.
