This is not just music.
It's a method.
Blocking feels like a punishment, so you cheat. Tunetox feels like a reward, so you keep going. The Tunetox Method has 3 steps.
Phone down, music on.
Phone up, the music waits.
One simple rule. Turn your phone over and the music opens up. The song is your timer. No clock to watch.
A clear rule is easy to keep. With one rule in one sentence, 61% of people kept it. Without it, only 7.7% did.
Sheridan et al., 2025Hooked on the music.
Not on the phone.
It starts soft. A new sound joins every few minutes. Scrolling hooks you with "what's next?". Here, what's next is in the music. No words, no pings.
Your brain makes dopamine even while you wait for the best part of a song. Music with no words makes it easier to focus.
Salimpoor et al., Nature Neuroscience, 2011 Vasilev et al., 2018Keep it down.
Get the big ending.
The full music plays only with your phone down. The best part comes last: a big ending, every time. Nothing is locked. You just want the music more.
Music you love gives your brain dopamine, most of all at the best part. And a treat you only get when you do the right thing works: people who got one only at the gym went 51% more.

Tam & Inzlicht, 2024Keep your apps
No need to delete Instagram or TikTok. Nothing is locked.
See your time come back
Days in a row and the minutes you got back, right in the app. When the song ends, you're done.
No guilt
No angry messages. Picked up your phone? The music just waits for you.
Why music?
It makes your brain happy.
Good music gives your brain dopamine. That's a "feel good" chemical. Scientists have seen it, again and again.
Music gives you dopamine
When you hear music you love, your brain makes dopamine. Most of all at the best part.
Salimpoor et al., Nature Neuroscience, 2011Waiting feels good too
Your brain makes dopamine even while you wait for the best part. So we build up slowly.
Salimpoor et al., Nature Neuroscience, 2011More dopamine, more fun
Scientists gave people more dopamine. They loved the music more. With less, they liked it less.
Ferreri et al., PNAS, 2019New songs feel good
A good new song makes your brain want to hear it again.
Salimpoor et al., Science, 2013These studies are about music and habits, not about our app. Soon we will test Tunetox with real people. We will share what we find, good or bad.
Listen now.
12 kinds of music. No words. No loud parts. No pings. Just warm music.
How to stop scrolling
Real questions people ask. Short answers.
How do I stop scrolling at night?
Put your phone face down, away from your bed. Play calm music. Use one rule: music on, phone down. When the song ends, put the phone away and sleep or read. Our music has no words and no loud parts, so it fits the night.
How can I stop scrolling without deleting the app?
You don't need to delete anything. Give yourself something better than the feed. With Tunetox, the music plays only while your phone is face down. Your apps stay. The music is your reason to wait.
What can I do instead of scrolling?
Read, work, cook, draw or just rest. Put on a song first. The song gives you a start and an end, so you don't have to fight your phone the whole time.
Why can't I stop scrolling?
The feed never ends, so there is no good place to stop. You swipe to feel less bored. But a study found that jumping from video to video makes people more bored, not less (Tam & Inzlicht, 2024).
How do I put my phone down?
Pick one song. Turn the phone over. Leave it there until the song ends. A clear rule helps a lot: in one study, 61% of people kept a music rule when they heard it in one sentence. Without it, only 7.7% did (Sheridan, 2025).
Which songs release dopamine?
Songs you love. Brain scans show that music you love makes the brain release dopamine, most of all at the best part, and even while you wait for it (Salimpoor, 2011). Slow, soft songs without words can still give you chills (de Fleurian & Pearce, 2021).
Will Tunetox really give me dopamine?
Studies show that music you love gives your brain dopamine. We have not measured it with our app, so we won't promise a number. Our music is made to feel good, and you get it only with your phone down.
What is the best music to focus?
Music without words. Songs with lyrics make reading harder than songs without (Vasilev, 2018). Keep it steady and not too loud. All our music has no words.
Is there an app to stop scrolling that doesn't block apps?
Yes, Tunetox. It doesn't lock anything. The music plays while your phone is face down. Pick it up and the music gets quiet and waits for you.
Does it work on my phone?
Tunetox is an iPhone app. Get it on the App Store and try it free for 3 days. It knows when your phone is face down, right on the phone. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Do I need headphones?
No. The phone speaker is fine, even from the next room. Keep it low. It works best quiet.
How long does it last?
You pick: 10, 25 or 45 minutes. New sounds join along the way. Then the big ending.
Is the music made with AI?
Our first songs are made with music tools, then picked by ear, one by one. We are also writing our own songs by hand. We will always tell you which is which.
Is this a medical product?
No. It's a simple tool to help you put your phone down. It does not treat any illness.
Is it free?
The first 3 days are free. Then it's €4.90 a week or €69.90 a year. Cancel anytime in your iPhone Settings, at least a day before the trial ends, and you pay nothing.
