You already know you're on your phone too much. ScreenGator just makes it
impossible to not notice. Brutus the Gator is here to help, albeit in his own way.
One honest number, 0 to 100. It falls while you're on the screen and climbs
while you're not. That's it. No streaks to protect, no badges to collect,
no coach telling you how you should feel.
THE NUMBER FOLLOWS YOU
Your score sits on your Lock Screen, so it's there while you scroll —
not buried in an app you'd have to remember to open. A Happy Gator at the top,
an ANGRY GATOR at the bottom, and three moods in between. You'll know which
one you're in without thinking about it.
IT SHOWS UP WHEN IT MATTERS
ScreenGator takes the Dynamic Island only once you start slipping, and
hands it straight back when you recover. If it's there, that's the message.
Alerts are rare and never twice in ten minutes — you almost certainly have
other Live Activities running, and ScreenGator is a guest on that Island.
GATOR LOCK (OPTIONAL)
Wake the Angry Gator and ScreenGator can ask Screen Time to shield most
other apps until you climb back out. You opt in, you're told exactly what
gets blocked before anything is requested, and you can take an emergency
unlock or turn it off entirely at any moment. Phone, Settings and
ScreenGator always stay available. It's a speed bump you chose, not a cage.
"I'M PUTTING IT DOWN"
One button to commit. It doesn't award you points for tapping it — the
score climbs when you actually leave, and tells you what the break earned
when you come back. Honest, or it's worthless.
WE NEVER RECEIVE YOUR DATA
No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party code
of any kind. ScreenGator has no servers. Your score is worked out on your
device and stays there — we couldn't sell it if we wanted to, because it
never reaches us. Brutus the Gator simply doesn't like too much screen usage.
HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT MEASURES
With Screen Time permission, ScreenGator scores your whole phone. iOS only
reports device usage in steps rather than continuously, so the number moves
in jumps rather than second by second — and time inside ScreenGator counts
against you like anything else. Without that permission it still works, but
only sees itself. It tells you which one you're getting.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The gator now shows up in the Dynamic Island at every score — not just when he's annoyed with you. And it's him you see in the small view, rather than a dial that looked like a countdown timer.
Also tidied some wording on the Lock Screen banner.
