Abstract: The rapid rise of smartphone usage has significantly impacted daily life, leading to distraction, productivity loss, mental fatigue, and disrupted sleep patterns. Social media platforms and shortform entertainment apps are intentionally designed to be addictive, making it difficult for users to regulate their digital behavior. While current digital wellbeing solutions such as built-in OS tools provide screen-time monitoring and basic app restrictions, they rely heavily on user discipline and lack strong behavior-changing mechanisms.Digita/ Detox is a mobile application developed to address this growing challenge by enabling users to actively control and limit their smartphone usage. The app offers features such as customizable focus sessions, enforced app blocking, smart reminders, and progress tracking dashboards. Through an intuitive interface and behavioral design techniques, Digital Detox encourages mindful phone usage and supports the development of healthier digital habits.
