This is what getting caught looks like.

Sound Familiar?

We've all been there.

⏳

Just while the AI loads.

One reel. One message. One "quick check." Your screen is still generating. You are now 20 minutes deep into someone's gym transformation.

🔔

You didn't even notice.

Your hand reached for your phone before your brain decided to. Congratulations. You are now Pavlov's dog, and your phone is the bell.

😶

The focus was never coming back.

You tell yourself you'll refocus after this one thing. That was 45 minutes ago. The cursor is still blinking. The deadline is not.

I was convinced I didn't have a phone problem. PhoneBusted caught me 14 times on day one. I have a phone problem.

The voice that shouts at me sounds genuinely disappointed. I feel shame. I focus. It works.

Sarah K.

Product Designer, London

During AI generation loading time I'd unconsciously pick up my phone for "just a second". That turned into 15 minutes. Every single session. PhoneBusted caught me on day one. I haven't lost a session since.

Never. PhoneBusted processes your webcam feed locally on your laptop. No video is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. Ever.

PhoneBusted is brand new and hasn't been downloaded by millions yet — so Windows gets cautious. Just click "More info" then "Run anyway". It's completely safe. No data collected, no internet required, everything runs locally on your laptop.

PhoneBusted uses YOLO11n — the lightest AI detection model available. CPU usage stays under 5% on most modern laptops.

YOLO11n is highly accurate for phone detection. Occasionally a TV remote might trigger it. We see that as a bonus feature.

Yes. Detection runs 100% offline after the first setup. Your license is validated once and cached locally.

Yes. PhoneBusted works with any webcam your computer recognizes — built-in or external.
