About

Use your phone on purpose — not out of habit. Intent is a calm, beautiful digital wellbeing app that helps you focus, understand your screen time, and build lasting habits. It's powered by Apple's Screen Time technology, and it's completely free — no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. FOCUS SESSIONS Start a focus session in one tap. Intent gently blocks distracting apps for as long as you choose, so deep work stays deep. A Live Activity keeps your remaining time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, and Home Screen widgets keep your goal in view. SCREEN TIME ANALYTICS, DONE RIGHT Apple shows you the numbers. Intent shows you what they mean. See clear daily and weekly breakdowns of where your time goes, track your focus score, and watch your progress build over time. INSIGHTS THAT RESPECT YOU Intent surfaces gentle, actionable insights like "you spend most of your social media time after 9 PM" — never shame, never judgment, never medical claims. Insights are deterministic and generated entirely on your device. DAILY GOALS & WEEKLY REPORTS Set a daily intention and let Intent help you keep it. A weekly report shows the trend that matters: are you moving toward the life you want? PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Your usage data stays on your device. Insights are computed locally — there's no advertising, no profile-building, no selling of your data. Optional iCloud sync keeps your sessions and preferences seamlessly up to date across your devices, secured by your Apple account. BUILT FOR iOS - Focus Sessions with app blocking - Live Activities on the Lock Screen & Dynamic Island - Home Screen widgets - Daily goals and streaks - Weekly reports and focus score - On-device insights - iCloud sync - Full Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver support MADE FOR Students, software engineers, creators, remote workers, parents, and anyone who wants a more intentional relationship with their phone.
