You want multiple organization dev accounts tied to a single Apple ID . Nope!
You want to remove your self from an organization? FU
You transferred your dev account to another Apple ID? Good luck setting up a new account on your OG Apple ID
Literally breaks their app

Claude moves in tight, focused steps and gives you constant chances to jump in and steer.
And honestly.. Claude Code agents are just fun to use.

Codex just spirals endlessly for 30 minutes, never coming up for air, then hands you a steaming pile you have to untangle, burning tokens, time, and money.

Two questions for any parents following along:
1. Does this resonate?
2. What features would you actually want (or NOT want) in an app like this?
I'm genuinely curious what would help vs what would just be more noise.
Drop your thoughts below.

So I'm niching down even further.
I'm building specifically for parents who want to reduce their doomscrolling to set better examples for their kids and actually be present.
This is personal. I know this guilt. I've felt it too many times.

These solutions are generic. They treat everyone's problem the same way.
But here's what I realized: My problem isn't just about wasting time.
It's about the guilt of scrolling while my kids are trying to show me something. Missing moments I can't get back.

So I've been researching the competition. Turns out there are already several apps tackling doomscrolling: Opal, Brainrot, OneSec, and more.
They all follow similar patterns: either block apps entirely (annoying and easy to bypass) or gamify/nudge you when you try to open them.

I'm building a mobile app by having conversations with an AI. Wild.
If you would have told me I'd be doing this even a year ago I wouldn't have believed you.
So much more fun than backend development.

The combination is insane. I can literally talk through what I want to build, Claude writes the code, Playwright helps Claude debug in the browser, and Expo makes everything just work and allows me to sync the app to my phone seamlessly.
