Turn your screen time into study time. Delay makes you answer practice questions on topics you want to learn before you can open distracting apps like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Instead of setting aside more time to study, learning becomes a transparent layer integrated into something you already do every day.
EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME
Before opening a blocked app, Delay gives you a few quick practice questions. Answer them correctly to earn access. Every time you reach for a distracting app, you get another small repetition of something you actually want to learn.
LEARN WHAT YOU WANT
Choose exactly what you want to study. Whether you're learning a language, preparing for an exam, memorizing important concepts, or building knowledge in a new subject, Delay turns your material into questions you can practice throughout the day.
LEARN THROUGH REPETITION
Delay integrates learning into moments that would otherwise be spent scrolling. Instead of relying on long study sessions, you repeatedly encounter your material throughout the day. Over time, those small repetitions add up.
END THE DOOMSCROLL
Your apps automatically lock again after your earned screen time expires. If you want to keep scrolling, you study again. This creates a simple cycle: learn, unlock, scroll, repeat.
IMPORT YOUR STUDY MATERIAL
Bring the material you already want to learn into Delay and turn it into practice questions. Keep different subjects organized and choose what you want to practice when unlocking your apps.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See how much you've practiced, how consistently you're answering questions, and how your knowledge improves over time. The screen time you would have spent scrolling becomes measurable learning progress.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Delay works directly with your apps so studying becomes part of your normal routine. Once it's set up, simply use your phone as usual. When you try to open a blocked app, Delay gives you your questions, you answer them, and you're right back in.
MAKE SCREEN TIME USEFUL
You’re already going to open your favorite apps throughout the day. Delay simply puts learning in between. Instead of finding more time to study, use the time and habits you already have.

Genuinely has done wonders to my life and screen time

I downloaded this app initially from a tik tok to fix my bad habits from tik tok. You know, the usual can’t fall asleep at 3 am, dopamine maxing in class, and my short attention span when it comes to watching a 5 minute video online. Except one thing, this app has gotten me addicted to these puzzles and has genuinely made my brain think more critically. It made me focus more, as it forces you to activate your brain and less lazy watching brain rot videos and t3. I love this app, I love the developers for constantly updating it, and I love the way I’ve improved from this app.

Second thought
Isaac’s honest review
This app is hands-down the most effective screen time tool I have ever used. Standard app blockers don't work for me because I always find myself mindlessly clicking "ignore limit" or putting in a passcode without thinking. This app completely solves that fatal flaw. If your short attention span is getting the best of you and you want to genuinely build better focus, download this app immediately. Huge shoutout to the developers for constantly keeping it updated and effective!

Vibe coded app and stopped working after new updates
Din Din A.
Used to work fine and was essential to my day to day, now since a new update it doesn’t block any apps at all. Besides it seems like a vibe coded app that doesn’t seem work the membership price, but I got it when the price was a lot lower. They have a loan system that you can easily bypass by pressing on the edges of blocks completely making the whole game system invalid. At first I was fine cause only paid 32 on something that worked extremely well but now hearing that they charge 72 on something that doesn’t work is upsetting. This is an app designed to save time in my life, an app that I’ve paid to do its job and it doesn’t even do that after a few “vibecoded” updates. If I could get my money back on the time I’ve lost I’d be a lot more grateful.
