## What is DetoxScreen?

Spending more time on your phone than you'd like? DetoxScreen helps you take back control — no guilt, no bloat.

DetoxScreen blocks the apps that pull you in — social media, video, games — during the moments you want to stay focused. You set the rules, the app does the rest.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Block the apps of your choice in one tap
• Start a focus session with a chosen duration when you need to concentrate
• Create distraction-free schedules (work, sleep, meals, workouts)
• Give yourself "5 more minutes" right from the block screen — a bounded grace period (3 a day), not an open door
• Filter the websites that waste your time
• Turn on Strict Mode so you can't disable a block on a whim
• Track the time you win back

WHY DETOXSCREEN
Most digital-wellbeing apps can be bypassed in two seconds. DetoxScreen is built on Apple's Screen Time technology, so blocking actually works: when you decide to cut off, it cuts off.

Completely free: no subscription, no account, no ads, no selling your data. Your usage never leaves your device.

A digital detox doesn't mean quitting everything. It means choosing. DetoxScreen gives you that choice back.

Take back your time. Take back your attention.
