Screen Time Limiter & Focus
Only for iPhone

Stop Doomscrolling and Reduce Screen Time with ScreenBuddy. Daily limits and friction help cut screen time by 55%.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Apps locked by default. Your distracting apps are blocked 24/7.
- Pause before you scroll. A 25-second wait before each unlock is long enough to ask yourself if you really need this right now.
- Personalized limits. Set a daily screen time limit you can commit to. Use it all at once or spread it out. Once it's gone, it's gone.
WHY IT WORKS:
Most app blockers are easy to bypass. You hit a limit, tap "ignore," and keep scrolling. ScreenBuddy works differently. Your apps are locked from the start, and the 25-second pause gives you time to reconsider before you open them. Over time, the phone habit fades because you keep interrupting it.
ScreenBuddy helps you stop phone addiction without a full digital detox or dopamine detox. Just enough friction to stop doomscrolling and start living phone free.
PERFECT FOR:
- People who pick up their phone and don't remember why
- Anyone trying to cut back on social media and brain rot content
- Professionals who need distraction-free focus during work hours
- Students struggling to stay on task
- Parents who want to model better phone habits
