I’ve come up with an idea for an app I’ve put it below please feel free to run with it if you want to. I just don’t know or have the time to do anything with it. Or know where to start. EARNED – Discipline Before Dopamine EARNED is a behavioural technology platform designed to tackle one of the largest modern challenges: uncontrolled digital consumption. Today’s social media platforms spend billions of dollars engineering products that maximise attention. EARNED reverses that model by creating a system where screen time is earned through positive action rather than consumed passively. The platform uses Apple’s Screen Time framework and on-device artificial intelligence to restrict access to selected apps until users complete real-world tasks such as exercise, focus sessions, learning activities, or personal development goals. The initial product rewards verified physical activity, with one completed push-up earning one minute of app access. Unlike traditional productivity apps that rely on reminders, streaks, or motivation, EARNED introduces accountability and behavioural friction. Users must actively earn access to digital rewards, reinforcing discipline, consistency, and healthier technology habits. The global digital wellbeing market is valued in the billions and continues to grow as consumers, employers, schools, and healthcare providers seek solutions to combat screen addiction, declining attention spans, and poor mental wellbeing. EARNED occupies a unique position within this market by combining behavioural psychology, artificial intelligence, and digital access control into a single platform. Our long-term vision is to become the world’s leading behavioural operating system, allowing users to create personalised rules where entertainment, social media, gaming, and other digital rewards are unlocked only through meaningful real-world achievement. EARNED transforms discipline from a mindset into a measurable, enforceable system. Mission: To help people reclaim control of their attention. Vision: A future where technology serves human goals, not the other way around.

The name EARNED tells me this is probably a habit or reward loop app. Building it cross-platform in Flutter with an AI layer for the behavior tracking piece would get you to a working MVP in 4 to 6 weeks. I can start today. The bid reflects the description as written. Once you walk me through the full concept, I can give you firm numbers. Want to jump on a quick call?

Hi, I have an app concept called EARNED – Discipline Before Dopamine, a behavioural technology platform designed to combat uncontrolled digital consumption. The idea is to restrict access to selected apps until users complete real-world tasks such as exercise, learning sessions, or personal development goals. For example, one completed push-up could earn one minute of app access. I’m looking for a skilled mobile developer (iOS/Android) to help build the platform end-to-end, integrating Apple’s Screen Time framework, on-device AI for behaviour tracking, and secure access control. The project also includes designing the onboarding flow, real-time tracking of earned screen time, and dashboards for user progress. Deliverables: a working mobile app prototype, integration with device APIs, and clear documentation for future updates. I’m open to discussing frameworks, timelines, and approaches. This is a unique opportunity to create a product at the intersection of behavioural psychology, AI, and digital wellbeing. Best regards.

Hello, Your concept for EARNED addresses a massive market problem by flipping the traditional "attention economy" model on its head. Combining behavioral friction with hardware-level digital access control is an excellent approach. Given your current stage, "knowing where to start, you don't need full-scale development yet—you need a clear technical execution strategy. I will provide you with a structured Discovery & Architectural Map detailing exactly how to turn this idea into a viable product framework. What I will deliver for your project: Framework Integration Strategy: How to leverage Apple's native Screen Time API (DeviceActivity and FamilyControls frameworks) and Android's UsageStatsManager to securely restrict app access on-device. On-Device Verification Flow: A breakdown of how to implement lightweight on-device AI/Computer Vision models to verify physical actions (like tracking a camera stream to count a push-up) without compromising user privacy. .

Hi there Before proceeding I want to ask will the push-up verification use the device camera with on-device AI, or a third party fitness API like Apple HealthKit? Here is my approach I will build the mobile app in Flutter connecting to Apple ScreenTime and HealthKit APIs for activity verification. On-device AI handles movement detection. Flask handles the backend logic, PostgreSQL stores user data, and Firebase manages auth and real-time access unlocking. Docker keeps everything clean and deployable. I am ready to start today, just say the word and we can get moving.
