Fight screen time with friends
Snitch helps you break phone addiction through group accountability. Join friends in accountability groups, set app time limits, and build healthier screen time habits together.
KEY FEATURES:
Group Accountability & Shared Time Pot
Create or join accountability groups with friends. Each member contributes their personal time limit to a shared "pot of time" that the entire group can use. When one person uses time, everyone sees it—creating real accountability and peer support.
App Blocking
Snitch integrates with iOS Screen Time to block distracting apps when your time limit is reached. Set custom time limits for individual apps, and Snitch automatically locks them when you've used your allocated time. Unlock apps with a simple hold gesture, but your group will see when you do.
Approval System
Need more time for a specific app? Request approval from your group members. They'll see your request and can approve or deny it, adding an extra layer of accountability.
WHY SNITCH WORKS:
Unlike solo screen time apps, Snitch leverages social accountability. Research shows that accountability partners significantly increase success rates in behaviour change. When your friends can see your screen time habits, you're more likely to stick to your goals. The shared time pot creates collective responsibility—everyone benefits when everyone stays on track.
Perfect For:
Students who want to focus better and reduce social media distraction
Friends who want to support each other in breaking phone addiction
Professionals who need to stay focused during work hours

It's impossible to delete or update your own voice note, for some reason the group chat always shows the newest messages instead of the oldest ones when opened, and you can't reply to messages or edit them
Absolutely game changing!
I. Hett
I absolutely love this app, my screen time on my restricted apps went from 6hrs to 1hr or even less, and it’s honestly life changing! I seriously recommend this app! This app is a game changer and it has so many cool features! The fact that you have your friends to keep you accountable is amazing and actually really helpful! I love the shared pool of time concept too bc the last thing I’d wanna do is dip into my friends’ time. Along with this, the app makes opening one of your restricted apps way more deliberate and has you chose a reason why, which really helps especially when opening instagram became muscle memory for me. Overall 10/10, wish I found this sooner
Issues with time
penguin88yes
At first this app was fun and extremely entertaining. Oftentimes my friends and I would yell at each other for using up each other's time, and I love this mark zuckyberg. However, everything changed once i went on vacay, where i experienced a 2 hr time zone change. All of a sudden the time bank was messed up and not synced between the group, even as I returned to my original location. Dear developers i urge you to fix the time accuracy and restore the joy i felt oh so passionately before this detrimental bug
Best screen time control app

I’ve used three different screen control apps to limit my doom scrolling and this so far is my favoriteMy husband and I are able to keep each other accountable and mindful and encourage each other to do something else instead of mindlessly doom scrolling
