Stop doomscrolling. Start collecting.
Palli is the chibi screen time pet who turns minutes off your phone
into adorable pixel art pets. Less scroll, more pets. Tamagotchi for
2026 — except instead of feed-or-die guilt, it's mutual care. You
take care of yourself, Palli thrives.
HOW IT WORKS
Set your screen time goals and let Palli handle the rest. Powered by
Apple's Screen Time API, the app monitors and blocks distracting apps
on your schedule. Hit your goals, earn tokens, pull for new pets.
That's it.
COLLECT THEM ALL
90+ unique pixel art pets across four rarity tiers — Common, Rare,
Epic, and Legendary. Each chibi pet has 5 mood states that react to
your screen time habits. Drop rates fully disclosed before every
pull. No predatory mechanics — just kawaii companions earning their
place on your phone.
BLOCK WHAT DISTRACTS YOU
Choose specific apps or entire categories to block — TikTok,
Instagram, the doomscroll loop, gaming, whatever's stealing your
day. Set custom schedules for work, school, bedtime, or whenever
you need to focus. Powered by Apple's Family Controls API — blocking
stays in place until you say otherwise. No more sneaking back in
after 30 seconds.
YOUR PROGRESS, VISUALIZED
Watch your collection grow as your screen time shrinks. See your
screen time trends across days, weeks, and months in clean, calming
stats. Built for self-care, not anxiety. Built for digital detox,
not shame.
PRIVACY-FIRST
Your usage data stays on your device. We never see which apps you
open, who you talk to, or how long you scroll. Apple's APIs handle
everything locally — Palli only knows whether you hit your goal. No
account required to start.
WHO IT'S FOR
If you've ever opened your phone for "one quick thing" and lost 40
minutes — Palli is for you.
If Tamagotchi was your childhood and most mindfulness apps make you
yawn — Palli is for you.
If you want a cute, cozy way to take care of your attention — not
another productivity app yelling at you — Palli is for you.
If you're tired of feeling anxious every time you check screen time
in Settings — Palli is for you.

What's New in v2.0
A custom Palli shield now appears when you open a blocked app — no more
generic system lock screen. Your pet's mood and a personal message change
based on how much screen time you've racked up.
Quest icons are finally specific to each quest. Photo a water bottle? You
get a water droplet. Hitting the gym? Dumbbell. No more identical camera
icon on every single photo quest.
Frame colors now actually match their names. Lavender looks like lavender,
mint looks like mint, plum is plum (not magenta), gold is gold (not brown).
Same fix applies to all custom frame colors — neon green is finally green.
Your pet's health only goes down from screen time now. No more passive
decay eating into your pet's wellbeing while you're not even on your phone.
Take care of yourself, take care of your Palli.
Pet level survives reinstalls. Your progress is saved to the cloud, so if
you delete and reinstall the app, you won't lose your hard-earned levels.
Bug fixes and stability improvements.
