FAQ
How does Bouncer work?
Bouncer acts as a digital doorman for your apps. You set rules for when certain apps are blocked, and it enforces these rules by denying access unless you choose to pay in attention by waiting for a set period.
Can I easily change or disable Bouncer's rules?
No, changing or disabling an armed rule requires the same friction as breaking it. Bouncer is designed to prevent easy negotiation or exceptions to your set rules.
What is Lockdown mode in Bouncer?
Lockdown mode is for nights when you are serious about not using your phone. It offers no friction, no negotiation, and no way in until the set window ends, with one emergency pass available per installation.
Does Bouncer have ads?
No, Bouncer does not contain advertisements. It is built on Apple's Screen Time technology and prioritizes a distraction-free user experience.
How does Bouncer handle unlocking blocked apps?
There is no direct unlock button. To access a blocked app, you must face the doorman and endure a wait time that only counts down while you are looking at it. This 'cost' is paid in attention.
What kind of reports does Bouncer provide?
Bouncer provides one honest number: your real time spent in blacklisted apps, as a daily average, directly from Screen Time. It deliberately avoids vanity metrics or estimated 'time reclaimed'.
Is Bouncer available on all devices?
Based on the provided data, Bouncer is supported on iPhones. It is built on Apple's Screen Time technology, indicating iOS compatibility.
What are the pricing options for Bouncer?
Bouncer offers a Weekly paid access option and a Yearly option with a seven-day free trial. If you stop paying, your armed rules will continue to enforce your settings.
