FAQs
1. What is Mushin Flow?
Mushin Flow is a screen time and task management app that helps you get real-life tasks done before indulging in distractions. Instead of just blocking apps, it rewards you for your progress by unlocking apps only after you complete a to-do, finish a workout, or get through focus time. Moreover, you can also use traditional screen time features such as setting a daily limit or blocking apps during certain times.
2. How does Mushin Flow help reduce phone addiction?
Mushin Flow uses task-based app blocking and habit-based rules to shift how you interact with your phone. Instead of endless doom scrolling or bouncing between apps, the app rewards you with screen time by completing your to do list. According to recent studies, phone addiction is often defined as spending over 4–5 hours per day on non-work screen use and showing signs of withdrawal or compulsive checking behaviour. Mushin is designed to reduce your screen time but also ensure you are completing your to do list.
3. What is doom scrolling?
Doom scrolling is the habit of continuously consuming negative news or social media updates despite feeling worse the longer you scroll. It’s tied to stress, poor sleep, and decreased productivity. Mushin Flow is designed to send you reminders when doom scrolling is detected.
4. What types of flows can I set?
You can use:
- Pre-made templates like “Too Much TikTok,” “Checklist Champion,” and “Sweat First, Stream Later”
