Why Awful Monkey works

7 hours on Instagram yesterday.

You could have learned a language.

Your future self is watching.

And filing complaints.

Nothing changes if you keep scrolling.

You know this.

How Awful Monkey works

Three steps. No complexity. No excuses.

1

Set your goal

Pick what you are sacrificing screen time for. Business. Fitness. Learning. Or just existing with more intention.

2

Choose your intensity

Mild observations. Medium callouts. Savage honesty. The monkey adapts to how much truth you can handle.

3

Get judged daily

Receive notifications that make you slightly uncomfortable. Track your shame. Share it if you dare.

Why Awful Monkey is different from other screen time apps

We are not here to motivate you. Motivation is temporary. Discomfort is memorable.

No fake positivity

Other apps celebrate your small wins. We remind you that 4 hours on TikTok is still 4 hours on TikTok.

Gamification that works

Streaks and intensity levels that reward consistency. But the real reward is your time back.

No community features

You do not need more social interaction. You need less. That is the whole point.

No complex setup

Download. Allow notifications. Get roasted. The monkey handles the rest.
