SocialsCap

Cap your Socials. Get a grip on your time spent on social media.

The app is free. Unlock PIN protection for $3.99. That's the deal.
No accounts. No data collected or shared. No ads. Ever.

HOW IT WORKS

Download SocialsCap and set a daily time budget for social apps. Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Discord, Roblox, Twitch — once the budget runs out, everything blocks until midnight.

Use it yourself first. See how it feels to have a real limit. Most people find it useful within days.

If you cannot resist the temptation to keep extending your limit — upgrade and have a friend set a secret PIN for you. After that, the real challenge begins.

One thing that makes it serious:

PIN PROTECTION
Hand your PIN to someone you trust — a friend, partner, parent, or colleague. They set it. You don't know it. Now the limits are real and the app cannot be bypassed or uninstalled without their help.

No subscription. No recurring charges. Pay once, yours forever.

Perfect for:
• Adults who keep cheating their own limits and want genuine accountability
• Parents who want to install SocialsCap on their child's device knowing it can't be disabled
• Couples or friends who hold each other accountable for screen time


WHY SOCIALSCAP?

No accounts or sign-in required
Other screen time apps force you into accounts, family groups, and cloud sync. SocialsCap works with a PIN. Nothing else needed.

No data leaves the device
Everything stays on your phone. Usage times, limits, settings — none of it goes anywhere. Your screen time habits are nobody else's business. The business model is the app — not your data.

No ads
SocialsCap contains zero advertisements. No banners, no tracking, no monetisation of your attention.

Works on any Android device
Old tablets, budget phones, hand-me-down devices — if it runs Android 8 or higher, SocialsCap works. No Google Play Services dependency.

Works without internet
Limits are enforced whether or not the device is connected. No server, no cloud, no remote app required.

In-person accountability
PIN changes require the person who holds your PIN to be physically present. This is a feature, not a limitation. Real accountability is in-person.

PRIVACY

SocialsCap collects zero personal data. It does not connect to the internet. It measures how long each social app is open and blocks it when the limit is reached. That is all.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

SocialsCap uses the Android Accessibility Service solely to detect
which app is currently in the foreground. This allows the app to
enforce daily screen time limits instantly the moment a monitored
app is opened. The Accessibility Service is not used to read screen
content, collect personal data, record keystrokes, or interact with
any app's UI. It serves one purpose only: foreground app detection
for screen time enforcement.
