Screen Lime
Use your phone less
Free · In‑App Purchases
Screen Lime is the simplest way to spend less time on your phone without fully blocking apps or overcomplicating your life. It’s built for iOS, sets up in seconds, and works quietly in the background to help you stay mindful and in control.
No accounts. No ads. No complex schedules.
How it works
Every time you try to open one of your selected apps, Screen Lime gently adds a short, single-breath pause before it opens.
That moment creates space to ask:
"Do I actually want to open this right now?"
A secondary benefit is that the action of tapping an app and it opening triggers dopamine, and Screen Lime removes that instant dopamine reward of tapping by slightly delaying an app from opening, in the form of a "shield". All it requires is a single breath pause, and you're in.
- Tap Close to skip the distraction and save your time.
- Tap Continue to open the app immediately. It stays accessible for 15 minutes before pausing again.
This small pause helps break the habit of automatic app-opening and endless scrolling without blocking you or getting in your way.

Why people love Screen Lime
◆ Effortless setup
Screen Lime uses Apple’s built-in Screen Time and Shortcuts systems.
Setup takes under a minute and there's no sign-in or accounts required.
There's nothing you have to configure, like: schedules, app groups, etc. All you have to do is select the apps you want to use less. That's it!
◆ Always accessible
Your apps are never fully blocked. You’re always in control.

A single breath is enough to interrupt autopilot and refocus—calm, subtle, and effective. It won't feel like you're even trying to use your phone less.

Screen Lime gently checks in again every 15 minutes so you don’t lose track of time. This is effective at interrupting and shortening dopamine cycles.
