Your apps have a guard dog. Do a quick quest to get in and build a real habit while you are at it: move, pray, read, learn or just breathe. Pixie is a guard dog for your apps. She's small, she's loyal, and she will not let you doomscroll without a fight. Pick the apps that pull you in. When you open one, Pixie's shield is waiting. Want in? Tap "Earn time", do a short quest, and earn 15, 30 or 60 minutes. A minute before the time's up, Pixie peeks in to warn you. Then the shield comes back. PICK YOUR FOCUS Tell Pixie what you want more of, and every quest serves it. • Move: reps counted by your camera, or a walk counted in steps • Faith: a verse, a guided prayer, or a few lines of the Gospel of John (World English Bible) • Calm: a guided breathing round, or a line of gratitude • Sharpen: a quiz, a code puzzle, a word puzzle, or typing out what you're choosing to do • Read: a few pages of a real book. Nine public-domain classics are inside, from Rizal's Noli Me Tangere to Meditations and an abridged Walden • Learn: 200 short cards with spaced review, so they actually stick • Mix: a bit of everything Change your focus any time in Settings. BUILD A REAL HABIT • A streak for your focus. Miss a day and Pixie is gentle about it. Just never miss twice. • Every quest earns XP and levels Pixie up • Home shows your streak and an estimate of time saved • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a live unlock countdown, and a Control Center shortcut YOUR RULES • Choose apps and categories to guard with Apple's Screen Time • Set a daily goal for unlocked time • Lock only at certain times, like work hours or bedtime • Bank up to 120 minutes ahead, for later • Need an app right now? Quick Pass: 10 minutes, no quest, 3 times a day. You're never stuck. SEE WHAT PULLS YOU • Your apps: which locked app pulls at you most, how many times Pixie blocked it, and the minutes you spent in it • Watch the difference: minutes a day before Pixie, and now PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-in. • Pixie uses Apple's Screen Time framework: she never sees which apps you picked by name, or what you do inside them • Camera video is processed on your iPhone and never saved or sent • The books, Bible text and cards are inside the app • The only thing sent anywhere is your purchase, to Apple and our payment provider, RevenueCat PIXIE PRO Free to download.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Longer unlocks, and Pixie peeks in. • Earn 15, 30 or 60 minutes per quest. Same quests, more time. • Bank up to 120 minutes ahead, for later. • Pixie peeks at 1 minute: when your unlock is almost up, she pops in to let you know. Turn it off in Settings.
