CallFirst
Your social apps stay locked each day until you phone someone you care about
It turns the urge to scroll into a prompt to ring a parent or friend, which no screen-time limit on your phone has ever done.
CallFirst is a phone app for iOS and Android that keeps Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and similar apps closed on a schedule you set until you have spent 60 seconds on a call with a chosen person. It does not read call logs or collect contacts; it treats a minute away from the app as the signal. The free tier covers one contact, one schedule and one blocked app, with a Pro trial for more. Built solo by Ben, a product manager in London, under AI PM Services Ltd.
