Gentle Screen Time
Less Screen Time. No Fights.
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Gentle lowers your screen time without ever limiting how much you can use an app. No hard limits, no daily cutoffs, just a gentle rhythm of sessions and rests.
Most screen time apps work by capping you. They set hard limits, block apps for the rest of the day, and leave you locked out the moment you hit a number. Gentle works differently. There are no usage limits and no permanent blocks. You move through a rhythm of sessions and rests, and your total screen time drops, often dramatically, without anything being capped or taken away for good.
Here's how it works. You start a session and have full, unlimited access to everything on your phone. When the session ends, a short rest begins, a brief pause where your controlled apps become unavailable for a few minutes. When the rest ends, your apps return, ready for your next session. No daily cutoffs. No "you're out of time." Just a gentle in-and-out rhythm that adds up to far less screen time.
Gentle is for people who've tried strict limits and bounced off them. If hitting a wall every day has never worked, a gentle rhythm of sessions and rests might. Use everything you love, in a calmer cadence.
Lower your screen time. No limits, no daily cutoffs, just a gentler rhythm.

We've made the Live Activity timer more dependable, so limits begin and end right when they should. We also improved family pairing to keep parent and child devices reliably in sync.
