# Hopopop

> Hopopop is an iOS and Android app that blocks distracting apps (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) behind a quick mental challenge — a math problem or trivia question. Users earn their screen time by completing a 10–30 second cognitive challenge before any blocked app opens. The app gamifies focus: users earn XP, level up, and track their progress.

Hopopop is made by R-Square IT (Rayan Kheloufi, Paris, France). It is available on the App Store and Google Play. Pricing: free 7-day trial, then €4.99/month or €29.99/year.

## App

- [Download on App Store](https://apps.apple.com/au/app/hopopop-m%C3%A9rite-ton-scroll/id6759603313): iOS app — block apps, earn screen time with mental challenges
- [Download on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.rsquare.hopopop): Android app — same features as iOS

## How it works

1. User selects apps to block (e.g. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube)
2. When they try to open a blocked app, Hopopop intercepts and shows a challenge
3. Challenge types: mental math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, percentages) or trivia (10+ categories including History, Science, Film, Music, Sport)
4. Upon success: the app unlocks for a user-chosen duration, and the user earns XP
5. XP accumulates, users level up, streaks are tracked

## Key features

- Native iOS Screen Time API integration (real system-level blocking, no VPN)
- Android accessibility services (real blocking)
- 3 difficulty levels for math challenges
- AI-generated explanations for trivia answers
