Cascade - Screen Time Control
Block apps, reclaim your focus
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
Block your apps and understand the urge behind them. 7 day free trial, or pay once and keep it forever.
Cascade blocks the apps you pick, for as long as you pick. The rest of the app is about the moment you want to open them anyway.
THE MODES
- Zen: block your apps for a time you choose. You can stop anytime.
- Monk: locked until the timer ends. Longer sessions earn a few short unlock windows for real needs. If you want to stop early, Cascade first asks what you are feeling.
- Vault: no stopping early. You get 3 passes a week, each opens your apps for 15 minutes.
WHEN THE URGE COMES
The feeling you name decides what you get: a short breathing exercise, a small thing to do away from the screen, or a question to think about. Each takes a minute or two. None of them lead back to the feed.
ROUTINES
Set the days and hours once. Sessions start and end on their own, even when the app is closed.
ASK CASCADE
Ask anything about the app, or just say what you want: it sets up your routine, starts a session or switches modes for you. Pro.
ALWAYS ON
Always locked keeps the apps you choose closed until you remove them. Check-ins add a short pause before an impulsive open.
FRIENDS
Add friends with a code. In the Progress tab you see each other's focus time, longest session and streak. You can invite friends into a focus session, or into a shared routine so everyone focuses at the same hours with their own apps. Every finished session also counts as a vote for the person you are becoming, and your friends can see your votes too.
THE WEEKLY LETTER
At the end of every week Cascade writes you a short letter: which days you focused, why you stopped, what you finished. Past letters stay in an archive.
ALSO INSIDE
Short meditations for focus, calm and sleep. Rewire, a course on why feeds are so hard to put down. A lock screen widget and Live Activities for your sessions.
PRIVACY
The list of apps you block stays on your phone. Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time framework, on your device. We never see your apps. What you type in Ask Cascade goes to our server to be answered.
PRICE
Free: unlimited Zen sessions, one meditation, one Rewire lesson. Pro unlocks everything else, as a subscription or a one time purchase. The yearly plan starts with a 7 day free trial.
