Fride: Focus & Screen Time

Fride is a mindful app blocker and screen time manager built to boost productivity, reclaim your focus, and achieve lasting digital wellbeing. Stop doomscrolling and break the habit loop.

If you have ever unlocked your phone just to check the time, only to find yourself twenty minutes deep in a social feed, you don’t have a willpower problem. You have a habit loop. Fride is the focus app built to break that loop before it starts, helping you reduce screen time, break phone addiction, and overcome social media addiction through mindful interventions.

When you tap to open Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Reddit, Fride intercepts the impulse with intentional cognitive friction. Before the app opens, you must complete a mindful challenge: solve a math problem, take a breathing pause, type a focus phrase, or answer a reflection prompt. This acts as a powerful intent check, forcing your brain off autopilot to ask: “Do I actually want to see this, or am I just acting out of habit?” By requiring conscious effort, this distraction blocker breaks the doomscrolling cycle instantly. Most users simply close the prompt and get back to real life. For crucial deadlines, Strict Mode adds stronger protection for exams, deep work sessions, and moments when your focus matters most. As a mindful app blocker, Fride doesn’t rely on rigid punishment; it acts as a dedicated focus app that trains your brain to regain control over its own attention.

True productivity happens on autopilot. With Fride’s Automatic Routines, you can schedule custom block windows that protect the most vital parts of your day. Secure your morning hours for deep work, turn your device into a dedicated study app during intense exam prep, or trigger a relaxing wind-down routine to silence late-night feeds and guarantee deep sleep. Set your schedule once and let Fride defend your attention in the background—no daily willpower required.

Most generic screen time trackers just show you a depressing chart of wasted hours. Fride flips the script by focusing entirely on what you gain. Every avoided impulse becomes reclaimed time—whether you are trying a digital detox, reducing screen time, or building healthier technology habits. Watch your Focus Score rise in real-time, completely shame-free. And because true digital wellbeing requires absolute privacy, Fride runs 100% locally. No accounts, no tracking, and zero data leaves your device.

Reclaim your time. Break the scroll. Build a healthier relationship with technology. Download Fride today and start making every minute count!
