Stress, pressure, and the need for a quick escape.
First mini rule
Before opening your problem app, breathe out slowly once and ask yourself: "What do I actually need right now?"

Waiting, uncertainty, and the feeling that you may miss something.
First mini rule
Choose two fixed news windows per day and do not open news outside those windows.

Move the app into a folder called "Why now?" and only open it after a 10-second pause.

Difficult tasks, unclear starts, and focus avoidance.
First mini rule
Put your phone out of sight for the first 20 minutes of a task.

FAQ
Digital detox self-test questions
What is a digital detox self-test?+
A digital detox self-test helps you identify when and why you lose time on your phone, then gives you a realistic first rule instead of a strict all-or-nothing plan.
Do I need to stop using social media completely?+
No. LoopCut is built around intentional phone use. You can still open important apps, but the pause, purpose, and timebox help stop quick checks from becoming long scrolling sessions.
Which apps does this test help with?+
The test is useful for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Chrome, news apps, chat apps, and other apps that tend to pull you into repeated checking or endless feeds.
How does LoopCut use my result?+
Your result points to a starting setup, such as Sleep Guard, Quick Task, pause before opening, or stronger reset breaks. The goal is to match the app setup to your actual scroll pattern.
Start with your scroll type.
Take the test, choose one small rule, and use LoopCut to make the next app opening more intentional.
