CallFirst
Call before you scroll
Expected Sep 8, 2026 · Free · In‑App Purchases
The screen-time app where your apps stay paused until you call someone for at least 60 seconds. Connection First. Call First.
CallFirst turns the urge to scroll into a reason to call someone you love.
Pick the people who matter and the hours you want to protect. When you open Instagram, TikTok, X, or any app you've chosen during those hours, CallFirst gently steps in and reminds you to Call First. One real, at least 60-second phone call to your person and your apps open again for the rest of the window.
No streaks to chase. No timers to wait out. No breathing exercises. Just a moment of real connection before the feed.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a time to connect with a phone call.
2. Open a social media app, and we'll remind you to call first.
3. Talk for at least 60 seconds and then your apps are open again for you to enjoy.
WHAT MAKES CALLFIRST DIFFERENT
Other screen-time apps unlock with friction — a wait timer, a breathing exercise, a set of squats, a photo, a hardware token. CallFirst is the only one where the key is a person. The block lifts when you've actually spoken to someone.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
We never see, log, or record who you call or for how long. CallFirst notices only that you stepped away long enough to make the call, nothing about the call itself. No call history, no recordings, no uploading your contacts.
MADE FOR REAL LIFE
- Choose any contact and reach them by phone or WhatsApp.
- Block the apps you pick, on the days and during the hours you pick.
- Runs quietly in the background using Apple's Screen Time framework.
- Start in seconds — no account needed.
Pick up the phone. Call first.
CallFirst is free to start with one contact and one schedule. CallFirst Pro unlocks unlimited contacts, days, and blocked apps. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel any time in your App Store settings. A one-time lifetime option is also available.
