Show HN: Fun gamified screen time app with a mascot that roasts you

I'm am a high school student and just launched my first app! It is a screen time app that's fun and not boring, with a mascot that roasts you if you're on your phone too much! Would appreciate feedback, thank you very much!

Hey all! I am a high school student from Hong Kong, and growing up in a traditional Asian family I have experienced all tiger parenting by my parents. It is surprisingly effective in how they can help control my screen time. Knowing lots of my friends with parents that are more 'chill', they personally want to be controlled as well on their screen time. Therefore, I built this app with a sassy mascot that mimics tiger parents they want.

I believe it has a unique approach to managing screen time. It uses a concept that’s similar to Duolingo’s mascot, our tiger mom mascot “Lok” provides similar encouragement in reducing screen time. It double downs on the stereotype of Asian tiger parenting, where people aren’t allowed their phones until they finished their tasks. Using such ways to gamify screen time is effective to all of the beta testers of this app, and I am sure that it will benefit you guys as well!
