Great Option for Healthy Tech Use

A great option to block apps or set time allotments that can’t be easily bypassed and require your partner’s approval. Basically cut my YouTube use to zero. Screen time limits didn’t work for me and I previously used a Light Phone but the practicality just didn’t work. Having to communicate with a friend really changes the self-willpower dynamic I’m used to losing over time. Great for anyone trying to limit their time on phone/distractions and especially for anyone considering a phone for children.

FAQ

How does Anchor help with phone addiction?

Anchor pairs you with a trusted partner to mutually block distracting apps. Instead of simply flipping an off switch, you must request access from your partner, turning temptation into a shared conversation.

Can I use Anchor alone?

Yes, you can start by blocking apps yourself and set a self-imposed PIN for accountability. You can add a partner later when they are ready.

Is Anchor a spying app?

No, Anchor is designed with privacy and consent first. Pairing requires both users to opt-in by exchanging a code, and either person can unpair at any time with notification to the other. Both partners see identical information.

How does the app pairing process work?

You pair with your partner by exchanging a simple code. Both individuals must install Anchor and opt-in to the partnership; no one is added secretly.

What happens if I need to use a blocked app urgently?

When you genuinely need a blocked app, you send a request to your partner. They receive a notification and can approve your access for a duration you both agree upon.

What platforms is Anchor available on?

Anchor is currently supported on iPhone devices.

How often is Anchor updated?

The latest version, 1.1.1, was released on September 4, 2026, indicating active development and updates.
