Questions and answers

Drama Detox is an iPhone app that blocks the short drama apps you choose, such as ReelShort and DramaBox, puts them to sleep at night with a curfew, lets you earn one episode at a time with a small real life gesture, and counts the money and hours you keep.

No. Drama Detox does not stream any drama and never unlocks an episode inside another app. It only decides when the apps you picked are open.

Any app you choose in the iPhone app picker, including ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax, GoodShort, FreeReels and NetShort. Drama Detox is not affiliated with these apps and their names belong to their owners.

Blocking, the curfew, earned episodes, one series at a time, the simple money and hours counter and joining a circle are free. Drama Detox Pro adds a 30 day plan, creating a circle, a money goal, the Sunday recap and your full history. Planned launch pricing is $39.99 a year with 7 days free, or $9.99 a month, and it can change before release.

Drama Detox is in development for iPhone first, in English and French. There is no release date yet. Join the waitlist and we will write to you when it opens.

The waitlist keeps your email and, only if you answer, a weekly spending range and an age range. Nothing is sold and there is no advertising. The privacy page lists everything.

No. Drama Detox is a habit tool, not a medical product, and it does not diagnose or treat anything. If late night viewing is hurting your sleep or your mood, talk to a health professional.

Yes, in two taps in the settings. The curfew is on by default from 11 pm to 7 am, you can move it in steps of 15 minutes, and nobody is locked in.

You declare a purchase and the counter adjusts with no blame, something like "Noted, we start from here." Your total of nights kept never falls back to zero.

Circles and the weekly ranking are for adults only. If you are under 18 the app still blocks and counts, but circles and the ranking stay hidden.

From what you tell us you spend a week and how long you watch a day, shown as "based on what you told us". We cannot read your purchases inside other apps, so we do not pretend to. A slip you declare is subtracted.

When your apps are closed you can open them for 15 minutes by doing a small real action, one minute of guided breathing, 300 steps or five pages of a book. You can earn three a day at most. These durations are starting points and may change after testing.

iPhone comes first. We have no Android date to share.
