Ripple: Screen Time & Focus

The screen time app that asks why — not just blocks. Free forever for unlimited app blocking. Upgrade for mindful interventions.

Ripple is a screen time app built on a simple idea: knowing why you picked up your phone matters more than being locked out of it.

Most screen time apps are just blockers. Hit your limit, see a wall, tap "ignore". Nothing changes.

Ripple is different. When you reach your limit, it pauses and asks what's really going on — are you bored, procrastinating, anxious, or do you actually need this? Then it suggests something small you can do instead: a five-minute walk, a breathing exercise, a moment to reset.

Over time, that pause becomes a habit. The scroll reflex softens. You start choosing differently.

— WHAT RIPPLE DOES —

• Blocks any app or category when you hit your daily limit • Asks how you're feeling at the moment of the block • Suggests a short activity matched to your emotional state • Tracks your patterns — so you can see when avoidance becomes a habit • Lets you take a Day Pass on hard days, without judgment

— FREE, FOREVER —

Unlimited app blocking is free. No trial. No paywall on the core feature. We believe everyone deserves a tool that actually helps — not one that locks useful features behind a subscription.

Upgrade to Ripple Pro for mindful interventions: the feeling check, activity suggestions, and pattern tracking that make Ripple more than just a blocker.

— BUILT WITH CARE —

Ripple uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls) — the same technology powering iOS Screen Time — so your usage data never leaves your device. No account required. No data collected.

This is a tool for people who want to change their relationship with their phone, not just restrict it.
