NudgeBud — Screen Time, on your terms.
I enjoy using social media and chatting with friends... I just don't enjoy getting brainwashed into scrolling for hours. iOS limits were too easy to bypass and screen time apps treated me like a kid. All I wanted was a way to know how much time I was spending scrolling as I was spending it, so I could break out of the loop myself. That's exactly what NudgeBud does.
Pick an app. Set a daily limit. Choose how often you want a reminder. NudgeBud runs quietly in the background and nudges you at every interval with how much of daily limit is remaining, so you always know where you stand and can make the active choice to put your phone down.
For moments of weakness, there's Shield Nudges: a brief app block at each reminder that creates a little friction to make you stop and think before you keep scrolling.
I built NudgeBud for myself, but nothing would make me happier than knowing it helped someone else take back a little control. Give it a shot!
Some user's experienced a Shield UI where the "leave app" button was missing it's text. Adjusted the coloring overlay to avoid this.
