Cue: Screen Time Control
Block Apps on Dynamic Island
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
You only meant to watch short videos for 5 minutes, yet two hours slip by in the blink of an eye?
Content feed recommendation algorithms easily draw you into mindless scrolling, making you lose track of time — yet emptiness and regret linger once you put your phone down.
Timing Dynamic Island — an exclusive real-time anti-addiction tool for iPhone’s Dynamic Island. It visually displays your screen time as you browse, keeping the passing hours constantly in sight, and lets you lock apps instantly the moment you feel the urge to stop scrolling.
Why Choose Cue?
Common screen time apps force harsh locks and strict limits that demand extreme willpower, which usually backfire and make you scroll more.
Our app takes a mild, gradual approach. The Dynamic Island live timer tracks your usage in real time, paired with hourly, daily and weekly analytics to reveal wasted scrolling hours. You’ll naturally recognize the toll of overusing your phone and cut back voluntarily, without harsh external restrictions.
Core Features
1. Real-Time Dynamic Island Timer (Exclusive Feature)
Automate shortcuts to detect app launches and closures. The Dynamic Island persistently shows the running duration of your current app, letting you see exactly how long you’ve been scrolling and prompting you to break free from mindless browsing.
2. One-Tap Lock & System-Level Daily Time Limits
A quick lock button sits right on the Dynamic Island to cut off scrolling the second you spot your addiction.
You may set daily usage caps for apps. Powered by iOS’s native Screen Time framework, apps will lock automatically once your daily limit is reached, putting an end to the trap of "just one more minute".
3. Search-First Launch to Eliminate Mindless Opening
Enter target keywords before jumping into the corresponding platform. This avoids aimlessly opening recommendation feeds and endless passive scrolling, ensuring every app session has a clear purpose.
4. Lock Screen & Home Screen Widget Quick Access
Widgets available for both home and lock screens offer instant entry to frequently used apps, balancing convenient time management with a smooth user experience.
5. Multi-Layer Trend Data Analytics Dashboard
No more vague, oversimplified duration figures. We provide comprehensive trend analysis across three time frames: hourly, daily and weekly. Automated visual line charts clearly display peak usage hours, daily time fluctuations and weekly usage patterns.
