OffScreen is more than a screen-time tracker. With focus timers and in-depth screen-time statistics, OffScreen helps you understand your digital habits and gives you the tools to set boundaries—and see your goals through. By tracking everything from how many times you pick up your phone to how often you use it while walking, you’ll learn how to focus better on the things that matter to you.

This app offers excellent value with its affordable lifetime subscription and delivers on its promise to help users manage screen time effectively. Features like app blocking during specific periods and precise usage tracking have made a noticeable impact on productivity and mindfulness. It's especially useful for those looking to reduce phone dependency without external controls.However, the app's limitations in customization—such as the inability to set unconventional bedtime goals—make it less suitable for users with non-standard schedules. Additionally, counting passive activities like FaceTime as screen time affects the accuracy of usage reports. Multi-device integration would also enhance its functionality.Overall, the app has great potential and is a solid choice for anyone looking to build healthier phone habits, but addressing these issues would make it even better.

App was working as advertised but some immediate things I noticed were: It wasn’t simple to turn off anything that you turned on.Notifications or disabling the restriction on an app. Even after location was accessed (which is not needed for this apps purposes) it kept asking for more. I turned it off because I got worried but it kept bugging me. Eventually I deleted the app because it wasn’t that helpful in decreasing my screen time. A few hours after I did that some of my apps started completely blocking me from accessing them saying that “app is restricted”. I got extremely confused and turned off screen time and on airplane mode but nothing was turning it off. Then I went to iCloud and looked everywhere to find restrictions, until I finally found something under Screen Time. There was a setting that allowed the app to “restrict this iPhone”. AFTER I DELETED THE APP. How is this app allowed to access and even control your phone after you supposedly “deleted this app and all of its data”? Please make this app more restricted and, users, don't allow this app all permissions. It’s kind of shady.

We apologize for any confusion caused. OffScreen is designed to help control screen usage time and assist with reducing phone addiction. Due to system restrictions on iOS, we do require location access in order to accurately record screen usage time. However, we do not monitor any user activities or personal information. We understand your concern and will work to improve the app to make it more user friendly. In regards to the issue you experienced, we suggest contacting feedback@md.studio with more details so we can investigate the matter. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to improve your experience with OffScreen.

Great app, small question of wake up time

This app has been great for managing my screen time, and i’m glad that it blocks social media instead of the apple built in version of “15 more minutes?” that keeps me clicking for more timeMy only trouble is i can’t seem to figure out a way to tell the app that my work schedule has me going in at 3:30am, and is instead convinced i’m a night owl that can’t stop breaking a nightly phone opening habit. Is there any way to tell the app a bed time AND a wake up time? i shut sleep mode off like suggested but still nothing.
