Refund is the screen time app that helps you stop opening apps without thinking. Pick the apps that take too much of your day, choose how strict Refund should be with each one, and get your time back.
Check your Screen Time. That number is what Refund helps you bring down. Every time you open an app you picked, Refund steps in first: with a reminder, a short wait, or a daily limit. Then it shows you how much time you saved.
BENEFITS
- Spend less time on the apps that take over your day
- Break the habit of opening apps without thinking
- Set daily limits you actually keep
- Understand your patterns: which app, which hour, which day
- See the time you saved, added up like a receipt
- No account and no sign-up
FEATURES
- App Blocker: Block any apps for a set time with one tap.
- Three Levels: Choose how strict Refund is for each group of apps. Nudge sends a reminder. Pause makes you wait before the app opens. Hard stop sets a daily limit.
- Growing Wait: On Pause, the wait gets a little longer each time you come back the same day.
- Daily Limits: Set a daily budget. When it runs out, take a short break or lock the app until tomorrow.
- Why Check: Every few opens, Refund asks why you're opening the app, so you notice your habits.
- Pause Screens: A breath, a quick game, your own face, or a short rest before the app opens.
- Schedules: Set rules that only run during the hours you choose.
- Walk to Unlock: Earn an app back with steps from Apple Health.
- Quiet Hours: Lock apps in the evening, with a few passes for when you really need one.
- Web Filter: Block the websites you choose in Safari.
- Always Allowed: Keep the apps you need open, no matter what.
- Focus Report: See which hour gets you, this week compared to last, and your total time saved.
- Stamps: Earn a stamp for each day you stay on track.
- Your Why: Write who you want to be and record a photo or video note to yourself. Refund shows it when you need it.
- People: Pick up to three people to call instead of scrolling.
- Graduation: When you don't need a rule anymore, Refund offers to make it lighter.
PRIVATE & SAFE
Refund uses Apple's Screen Time API to notice when you open the apps you picked. Apple keeps your app list private, so Refund never sees app names. Your history, notes and report stay on your phone. There is no account. Delete the app and your data goes with it.

Version 2.0.0
NEW
- Refund Pro: Unlimited apps and groups, with a different rule for each. Try it free for 14 days on the yearly plan.
- New Group Screen: Set up a group step by step, then hold to confirm.
- Wait Before Easing Up: When you make a group less strict, the change waits before it starts (you choose 1 hour to 3 days). This way a weak moment can't undo your rules. You get one emergency skip a week.
- Breaks on Hard Stop: When your daily limit runs out, take a short break instead of waiting until tomorrow. Each break starts with a pause.
- Always Allowed: Pick apps that never get blocked.
IMPROVED
- Smoother setup: onboarding is clearer from start to finish, and Refund asks again for Screen Time access if you skipped it.
- Fresh look: Settings, Quiet Hours and Web Filter have a cleaner design.
- "Chunks" are now called "groups".
- More reliable locking: the right apps lock and unlock at the right time, including overnight limits and Block now.
- The report's Month and Year views load faster.
