App Screen Time Lock

Set app-specific limits, use Strict Lock, add a Guardian Code, and share unlock requests with a trusted partner.

App Screen Time Lock helps you set clear daily boundaries for distracting apps. Choose the apps you want to control, give each one its own allowance, and the app applies a Screen Time shield after that allowance is used.

Use it to:

• Set separate daily limits for social, video, games, and other distracting apps
• Enable Strict Lock to reduce impulsive changes after limits are active
• Add a Guardian Code for an extra accountability step on sensitive changes
• Set a local accountability partner name for shareable unlock requests
• Share unlock request messages through the iOS share sheet when you need help deciding
• Use limited Break Passes for short, intentional pauses without deleting your setup
• Review and share a local event log for lock, pass, and settings changes
• Keep useful apps available while only blocking the apps you selected

The app uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks. Selected apps are handled as Apple-protected tokens, and your limit settings, Guardian Code data, accountability settings, break-pass state, and event logs are stored locally on your device.
