What's New in Reroute

1.0.1

July 21, 2026

Reroute 1.0 → 1.0.1: A big one. We rebuilt Reroute around a simple idea: your phone should support the life you want, not just block you out of it. Here's what's new. One-time purchase — no more subscription This is the headline. Reroute is now a single, one-time purchase. Buy it once, own it forever. No monthly fees, no renewals, no surprise charges. If you're an existing subscriber, your access carries over automatically — restore anytime from Settings. Daily goals, in your own words Set a real intention for the day in plain language — not another rigid timer. Reroute keeps it front and center so every app open is a small moment of choice. Protected time blocks Carve out the parts of your day that matter — mornings, dinner, focus hours, bedtime — and keep the noise out when it counts most. Smarter, escalating friction We replaced the old "daily bank" with friction that adapts. The more you reach for a distracting app, the more intentional Reroute asks you to be. Gentle at first, firmer when you need it. Once-a-day flow, redesigned Your daily check-in is faster and calmer, so setting up your day takes seconds. See your choices, not just your screen time A new Decision Branch chart and session history show the moments you chose differently — the opens you skipped, the time you took back. Progress you can actually feel. A brand-new onboarding Getting started is clearer, warmer, and quicker than ever. Under the hood Faster launches, a more reliable Live Activity, and dozens of fixes and refinements throughout. Thanks for being here. Reroute is built to help you spend less time scrolling and more time living — and now it's yours to keep.

Works Frustratingly Well!

I thought I was disciplined with my time while at work, and somewhat at home. But Reroute DEFINITELY highlighted some frequent habits I had no clue I was doing. I’m now starting to see how often I’d pick up my phone e between meetings and clients, totally sapping my productivity. Today, I finished all my tasks BEFORE my workday ended.

Going through app detox ain’t easy!!!

Best Screen Time App Out There

I love this app because it allows me to use social media with boundaries. Additionally, I love how it doesn’t just try to get me off of social media, but also helps me to complete my goals. Well worth the purchase!

Amazing

I wasn’t aware of the time spent on Facebook. Now I can focus on more important things.
