iPhone

Earn it before you scroll: breathe, walk or do a few squats. Focus sessions, schedules and daily limits. No account, no ads, nothing leaves your phone. Thumbrest helps you stop doom scrolling: gentle when you want it, firm when you need it. Completely free. No account, no paywall, no ads, no tracking. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that eat your time: social media, short videos, endless feeds. Thumbrest puts a calm stop screen in front of them, powered by Apple's Screen Time. FEATURES • Always-on shield: your feeds stay blocked until you consciously decide otherwise • Mindful unlock: need in? Earn it first. Breathe, walk a few steps, or do squats, push-ups or burpees that the camera counts. Then say why and pick a short window. The shield comes back on its own. • Growing challenge: every unlock today asks a little more • Daily unlock limit, so "just one more" can't become twenty • Focus sessions with strict mode: no unlocking, no ending early, no deleting apps • Schedules: slow mornings, deep-work hours, wind-down nights • Daily allowance: spend a set number of minutes, then everything locks until midnight • Website blocking in Safari • Insights: time and pickups in blocked apps, 7-day trends, urges resisted and streaks • Siri and Shortcuts: "Start focus in Thumbrest" PRIVATE BY DESIGN Apple's Screen Time keeps your app choices private. Even Thumbrest can't see which apps you use. Exercise is counted on your iPhone and video is never recorded. Your stats stay on your iPhone. FREE. REALLY. No subscription, no trial, no in-app purchases. Just a calmer phone.
