New: schedules. Block apps during set hours, like 9 to 5 on weekdays or overnight at bedtime. A daily limit can now cover several apps at once, with their time adding up.

We are glad you like it, and thank you for your feedback!

really fun app concept

i just got this app with a friend and honestly it’s so fun denying his time requests. been using it for 2 weeks now and it helped us cut down on our screen time and we actually started planning more hangouts because we are forced to check on each other more often

FAQ

What is PeerPause?

PeerPause is a productivity app designed to help users stick to their screen time limits. It utilizes social accountability by requiring users to ask a trusted friend, or 'Time Buddy', for approval to extend their app usage time.

How does PeerPause work?

You select apps to limit, set daily time limits, and add a Time Buddy. When your time runs out, PeerPause blocks the app, and you must send a request to your Time Buddy for approval to continue using it.

Can I easily bypass PeerPause limits?

No, PeerPause is designed to add friction to limit bypassing. Unlike many screen time tools, it does not offer an easy self-override, requiring a trusted person's approval for extra time.

What information does my Time Buddy see?

Your Time Buddy can see your requests for more time and their approval status. PeerPause is private by design; your Time Buddy cannot see your messages, browsing history, photos, or private activity within apps.

Is PeerPause available on all devices?

Based on the provided data, PeerPause is currently supported on iPhones. Further platform compatibility may be available or planned.

How often is PeerPause updated?

The latest version of PeerPause is 1.1.6, last updated on June 26, 2026. This indicates a relatively recent update cycle for the application.

What is the age rating for PeerPause?

PeerPause has an age rating of 17+. This is likely due to the nature of self-control and potential content related to app usage habits.
