Friends limit your Screen Time

Overview

Version:

1.2.7

Last updated: 2026-08-26

Features & Capabilities

Useless helps you reduce distracting screen time with support from your friends. Set daily limits and focus schedules for apps like TikTok or Instagram, then let useLess block access when your rules kick in.

When you need more time, send a photo explaining why to your friends. Requests appear on a shared “Walk of Shame,” while weekly leaderboards turn better screen habits into a social challenge. Hardcore mode adds stricter controls, friend approval, and waiting periods for extra accountability. The app uses Apple’s Screen Time API, keeping app usage and personal content on your device. Start for free, try Pro with a 7-day trial, and earn additional Pro access by inviting friends.

User Reviews

Reviews praise the concept of screen-time control but are dominated by complaints about paywalls, costly plans, bugs, and onboarding delays. Some call the idea a genius or good concept, but repeated issues like crashes, blank screens, failed notifications, ads, and lengthy setup lead to overall dissatisfaction.

Pros

Strong concept for screen-time control, repeatedly described as a genius or good idea.
Positive sentiment about the app's purpose and initiative to help manage screen time.

Cons

Paywall and subscription costs, including expensive plans and paid features, with users feeling they wasted money.
Widespread bugs and instability (crashes, blank screens, failed requests/notifications).
Onboarding is long and gating: lengthy setup before access to features and a paywall.
Ads and time wasted while using the app.

I hope I don’t get scammed

by 😔*****, 2026-08-11

Overall, the app is quite good, and very useful. I’ve been able to reduce my screentime by about 50% just in the last few weeks of using it. Today, however, the app blocked all of my apps until midnight (including UseLess itself) EXCEPT for the one that I wanted it to block, Instagram. I never indicated that I wanted to impose this limit. I’ve tried deleting the app, but the restrictions remain and there’s no way to turn them off in the Screentime settings. This is a serious bug, and it’s making me not want to redownload the app. Please address this.
