PhoneAware: Screen Time Limits

Opening apps on autopilot? Understand your screen time, set free daily limits, and add scheduled pauses with a one-time Premium purchase.

Opened an app without thinking? Give yourself a moment to choose what happens next.

PhoneAware helps you understand your phone habits and put a useful boundary around distracting apps.

SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES View private daily and weekly Screen Time reports inside the app.

SET A DAILY LIMIT Choose limits for up to eight apps. Usage already recorded today counts toward each limit. When a limit takes effect, keep the app blocked or choose to unblock it until midnight.

Screen Time reports and daily app limits are free.

ADD A MINDFUL PAUSE Preview a pause for free. With Premium, schedule pauses for selected apps, days, and times. Choose a 5, 10, or 15-second pause, then decide whether to continue.

Premium is a one-time purchase for lifetime access to scheduled pauses, with no subscription.

Pauses require a personal automation in Apple Shortcuts. Your selected app opens first, then the automation brings PhoneAware forward. Setup guidance is included.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your Screen Time data stays on your device. No account required.

SETUP AND AVAILABILITY Reports and daily limits require Screen Time permission and App & Website Activity enabled.

Usage widgets, Live Activities, and saved usage comparisons require enhanced Screen Time access. Your device must be in the EU and your Apple Account country or region must also be in the EU. Premium does not unlock this access.

A small boundary. A choice that’s yours.
