reason - limit screen time

App blocker & time control

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Reason helps you spend less time on your phone. Choose which apps are a problem for you and Reason will block them for you. 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. Thinking of a reason to unblock an app is on its own already a great deterrent. You can increase that deterrent by using Reason Premium. Your reasons can be read by an AI which decides if your app gets unblocked or not. We host this AI and so your reasons are never stored, not sent to third parties, and not read by anyone.
