ScreenBuddy: App Blocker

Screen Time & Focus Control

Features & Capabilities

Stop Doomscrolling and Reduce Screen Time with ScreenBuddy. Daily limits and friction help cut screen time by 50%.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Select apps you want to limit. They are blocked 24/7
  • Pause before you scroll. Wait before each unlock to break unconscious phone use
  • 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

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS: ScreenBuddy requires a premium subscription for full functionality. Choose monthly ($3.99), annual ($39.99 - 2 months free), or lifetime ($99.99) billing through your Apple ID. Your subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage your subscription anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

I downloaded ScreenBuddy to help mindless scrolling and hold myself accountable to lowering screen time. I’ve added more of my apps to the restriction the longer I’ve had this to help spend more time away from my phone. It’s been an amazing addition and has helped me reduce over an hour and a half per day of screen time since downloading!

This app has been so helpful. My doom scrolling has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY and I’m finding I have so much free time to focus on hobbies I actually enjoy! Wish I had found it sooner

Although I downloaded the app to help minimize my screen time on social apps, it also was great to use while on vacation! I was able to add all my work-related apps while I was on vacation so I could fully unplug and be present. Easy to edit & adjust based on what I didn’t want as a distraction each week!
