## Description

**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.
