Use your phone less.
Beat your squad.

Real groups, not strangers.
Offbit isn't a public network. You add the people you already know — and the squad does the rest.
Cram together, not alone
Lock down Instagram and TikTok during finals week. See who actually stayed offline.
The flat-wide deal
One challenge per week. Loser does the dishes. Nobody argues with the leaderboard.
Less screen, more eye contact
Match your evening cap. Catch the dip before bed and claim the morning back.
Three taps. Then the squad does the rest.
Solo blockers expect willpower. Offbit replaces it with accountability: your friends see your rankings, and you see theirs.
Invite your people
Create a private group and share a six-character invite code. Flatmates, classmates, coworkers, group chats — anyone with a phone.
Pick the apps
Agree a shared daily limit on the apps that take the most time. Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, X — whatever the squad picks.
Watch the board
Daily and weekly rankings, drop-out alerts when someone breaks the cap, crowns at the end of each challenge. Then play again.
Accountability beats willpower.
Goal research is unambiguous: writing the goal down, sharing it with a friend, and sending weekly progress updates produces dramatically higher follow-through than going it alone. Matthews (2007) tested exactly that combination — Offbit just automates it.
Your private squad sees the leaderboard. They see when you breach the cap. They don't lecture — they just notice, and that turns out to be enough.
SEE THE ACCOUNTABILITY RESEARCH →Limits that actually stop you.
Cross the line and Offbit takes over the screen. A 10-second countdown forces the second thought, and the rest of the squad gets a quiet ping that you're about to drop out.
It's not a notification. It's not a polite nudge. It's the friction the apps don't want you to have.
The mechanism — adding intentional friction before an app launches — has been studied in peer-reviewed work going back to a PNAS paper showing a 57% drop in daily app opens. We've collected the strongest papers on one page.

PRIVATE SQUADS
Invite-code only. No public profiles, no follower counts. Just the people you want to see your standings.
LIVE LEADERBOARDS
Daily and weekly rankings update through the day. See who's stalling and who's holding the line.
APP LIMITS THAT BITE
Cap the apps you regret. Hit the limit and Offbit blocks the app with a 10-second friction screen.
WEEKLY CHALLENGES
"No Reels Week", "Inbox Only", whatever you cook up. Crown the winner, dust off the loser, run it back.
DROP-OUT ALERTS
A push to the rest of the squad the moment someone breaks the cap. Quiet accountability — no shaming.
LIFETIME SAVED
Every hour under your baseline rolls up into a real number. Not a vibe — a milestone you can point at.
