PeerPause is the screen time app that makes app limits harder to ignore. Set daily limits for distracting apps. When time runs out, PeerPause blocks access. Need more time? Ask a real person you trust. Your Time Buddy can approve extra minutes or help you stay paused. No endless snooze button. No quick self-override. Just simple social accountability that helps you stop scrolling and reclaim hours of your day. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want to limit. 2. Set your daily screen time limits. 3. Add a trusted Time Buddy. 4. When time runs out, PeerPause blocks the app. 5. Need more time? Send a request. 6. Your Time Buddy approves or denies it. That is it. Simple limits. Real accountability. Less time lost to apps you meant to close an hour ago. KEY FEATURES App Blocking That Sticks: Limit distracting apps like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, games, dating apps, shopping apps, or anything else stealing your attention. Real Time Buddy Accountability: Your Time Buddy is a friend, partner, sibling, or trusted person who can help you follow through when willpower is not enough. Request More Time: Run out of time but genuinely need access? Send a request, explain why, and let your Time Buddy decide. Limit Change Approval: Want to raise, change, or remove a limit? PeerPause helps keep those choices intentional instead of impulsive. No Easy Self-Override: Most screen time tools can be skipped in seconds. PeerPause adds friction right when you are most likely to slip. Private by Design: Your Time Buddy can see requests and approvals. They cannot see your messages, browsing, photos, or private activity inside apps. WHO IS PEERPAUSE FOR? PeerPause is for anyone who wants to spend less time scrolling and more time living. Use PeerPause if you want to: Stop losing hours to social media Build healthier phone habits Focus while studying or working Spend less time on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or games Stay present with your partner, friends, or family Add real accountability to your screen time limits Stop bypassing Apple's Screen Time in seconds WHY IT WORKS Timers are easy to ignore. Accountability is harder to bypass. PeerPause turns screen time limits into a shared commitment. When you hit a limit, you do not have to argue with yourself. You pause, ask, and let someone you trust help you make the better choice. PRIVACY PeerPause uses Apple's Screen Time APIs to manage app limits on your device. Your Time Buddy does not see what you do inside apps. SUBSCRIPTION Some PeerPause features require an active subscription. A free version is available so you can try the core experience before upgrading. Download PeerPause and take back your time. Pause first. Scroll less. Stay accountable.
