reason - limit screen time
App blocker & time control
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Choose which apps are a problem for you and Reason will block them. When you want to use them, you'll have to enter a reason and set yourself a time limit.
Often you'll just close these apps instead of entering a reason, but even if you don't, your open app will be blocked once your time limit runs out.
If you're struggling with screen addiction, this app is for you. If you find yourself opening apps for no apparent reason, we're on the case. If you open messages from friends and then get stuck doomscrolling, we've got you covered.
It's a small moment of friction, but by pausing and stating your reason for opening distracting apps, you'll find yourself spending less time glued to your phone.
