CTRL : Take Back Your Time
Productivity
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Break the scroll, not your focus. CTRL blocks distractions on your schedule and rewards the habits that actually recharge you.
CTRL helps you take back control of your screen time — without the guilt trip.
Instead of shaming you into putting your phone down, CTRL gives you the tools to be intentional about when and how you use it. Set up Focus Groups to block distracting apps during the hours that matter — work, sleep, time with people you love — with schedules, daily limits, and session timers that fit your life instead of fighting it.
When you do want to check social media, The Vault gives you a filtered, friction-aware way in. Open Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more with the feeds and infinite scroll stripped out, so you can check what you came for and get back to your day.
CTRL also tracks Mental Nourishment — a simple daily score that rewards the things that actually recharge you (reading, walking, journaling, deep work) and accounts for time spent on screens, so you can see the full picture, not just a screen time number that makes you feel bad.
CTRL is built for people who want to change their relationship with their phone, not just white-knuckle through it.
• Focus Groups — scheduled blocking windows, daily open limits, and session timers for the apps that pull you in
• The Vault — filtered, distraction-reduced access to social platforms instead of an all-or-nothing block
• Mental Nourishment — a daily score that credits real recharge activities alongside screen time
• A calm, dark interface designed to feel empowering, not punishing
