Quota ends then app shielded. Stretch & draw circles to unlock more — cost rises each time. On-device, no account. Try full features 3 days free. Before doom-scrolling takes over, let your body move first. ActNow helps you set daily limits on attention-intensive apps — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Reels, and more. When the quota is used up, those apps are shielded by the system. To earn a short bonus window, open ActNow, straighten your arm, and draw shoulder circles. Circle count rises with each unlock, so “just a few more minutes” has a real cost. — What you get — • Pick the apps to guard; set per-app and global limits • Auto-shield at the limit; draw circles in ActNow to unlock (+10 minutes) • Calibrate your circle gesture; filters out wrist-wagging cheats • Weekend/holiday ×2 quota (subscription); tighter limits at night or low battery • Fully on-device: no account, no server uploads Category: screen time/screen time control Action: blocker/app limit/block/focus Scene: tiktok, instagram, youtube, facebook, reddit Benefits: self control/focus/productivity/detox — Who it’s for — Anyone who wants less feed-scrolling and more time for what they truly want to do. — Subscription (ActNow Premium, yearly) — With a subscription you get: • Unlimited managed apps • Customizable global daily limit • Weekend/holiday ×2 quotas • Today’s usage stats and unlock history You may also try full features for 3 days after onboarding at no charge (no purchase required). The local trial is independent of the yearly subscription purchase. After trial or without subscription, free tier: 1 managed app, fixed 2-hour global limit. Price shown in the App Store for your region; payment charged to Apple ID; cancel at least 24 hours before renewal in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. — Legal — Privacy Policy: https://lowoodz.github.io/ActNow/privacy.html Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ — Privacy — Screen Time, motion sensors, and battery state are used only on-device for limits and circle detection.
