Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Every other blocker has an ignore button. Time Guard doesn't, and he won't fall for it either. Ask him for five more minutes and see what happens. Free to start.
Every screen time app has an ignore button. That is why they stop working.
Takeback does not. Open the app you swore you were done with and Time Guard
is there first, and he wants to hear your reasoning.
Make your case. He decides. He is not easy.
TIME GUARD, YOUR AI COACH
He knows how long you have already scrolled today and answers accordingly.
Ask for twenty minutes at midnight and see how that goes. Ask for five to
reply to a message and he will probably wave you through. He negotiates.
He counts. He remembers.
HE DOES NOT FALL FOR IT
Try to talk your way past him and he will ask you to prove it. Say you are
at the gym and he wants a photo from the gym. Pictures of pictures do not
work on him.
CHILL OR SAVAGE
You pick how hard he goes. Chill hears you out. Savage makes you earn every
minute. Switch whenever you want.
WHAT YOU GET BACK
Evenings that end in sleep, not a 2am feed.
An attention span you can feel coming back.
Hours a week that used to vanish with nothing to show for them.
A phone you finally trust yourself with.
HOW IT GOES
Day 1, he learns your habits and starts easing your limits down.
Day 7, the feed starts feeling boring.
Day 30, you have hours back and you are spending them on something.
Day 60, you are not fighting your phone anymore.
Start free for 3 days.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
You now get a proper walkthrough on first launch, so you know what Time
Guard does before he starts telling you no.
Rebuilt the whole setup flow with clearer wording, real screens instead
of guesswork, and a plan that shows you where this actually goes.
Plus the usual fixes.
