Charge Screen Time

Block distracting apps without the all-or-nothing cutoff. Charge gives any app or website you choose a charge of minutes, like a battery. Once you've used the useful portion of your scrolling, it blocks until you take a break! Most screen time limits are a wall: you hit it, you're locked out until tomorrow, so you switch the limit off. Charge works like a battery instead. Spend your charge when you need it and recharge every time you step away. Run out, and Charge blocks those apps with Apple's own Screen Time shield until you've recharged. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps, websites or categories that steal your time • Choose a preset (Lockdown, Limited, Restrained or Relaxed) or set your own • Your charge goes down while you use them; at zero they're blocked • Take a break from them and recharge, up to your max charge FEATURES • App blocker and website blocker built on Apple Screen Time. No VPN, no accessibility tricks • Earned breaks: time away from your apps recharges them • Multiple blocklists, each with its own charge, for social media, games, news, shopping or work email • Schedules: only count time during work hours, school or evenings • Always-block schedules for sleep, study or deep focus • Locked mode: a blocklist that's out of charge can't be edited, paused or deleted, so you can't talk yourself out of your own limits • Lock on low charge: lock your settings when you're running low, not just at zero • Low charge alerts before you run out • Mindful Launcher widget: open apps through a short breathing pause, count your pickups and cap how often you open them • Stats: see how many hours your apps stayed blocked and how much charge you never even needed • Break the Glass: once a day, unblock everything for 3 minutes when you really need it FOR DOOMSCROLLING, NOT FOR LIVING Charge is for the endless feeds, autoplay video and autopilot pickups, not for cutting off your whole phone. Reduce screen time, break the phone addiction loop and stay focused for work and study without deleting apps. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Charge never sees the names of the apps you pick • Your blocklists and their charge stay on your iPhone • No account, no sign-up • Anonymous usage analytics only, with no personal information CHARGE PRO Charge is free with up to 3 blocklists, recommended presets, a low charge alert, Locked mode, Lock on low charge, the Mindful Launcher widget and Stats.
