What's New in Useless

1.2.5

July 15, 2026

- Block adult content with one switch in Settings, using Apple's built in web filter. - Block Now in Friends mode can now be unlocked one app at a time, or all at once, with a friend’s approval. - Your requests now stay up to date. See approvals, declines, reactions, new replies, and a live countdown for unlocked time. - On the latest iOS, tapping Request Time opens useLess right away, without the extra notification tap. We also made blocking more reliable after updates and daily resets. Thanks for using useLess. Reply in the app any time, we read everything.

Genau was ich gesucht hab

Super cooles onboarding und genau was wir als Freundesgruppe gesucht haben. Das es mein Freund zum approval braucht ist das was die Sperre endlich mal wirklich nutzbar macht. Keine Selbstverarsche mehr.

Pls kostenlos

Einmal Payment für lifetime access wäre auch cool

Tolle App, jedoch...

Gute Idee, allerdings ist das Hauptfeature nur mit Pro freischaltbar und somit kostenpflichtig. Nie im Leben schafft man es mehrere Leute dazu zu überzeugen. Ihr solltet euch auf Werbeeinnahmen beschränken wenn ihr die App populär machen wollt.

Bietet keinen Mehrwert in der kostenlosen Version

Ohne Pro-Abo bietet die App keinen Mehrwert zu Apples eigener Bildschirmzeit, da die Funktion, Freunde um Erlaubnis zu bitten, kostenpflichtig ist. Es gibt kostenlose Alternativen, die das Gleiche leisten – nur eben ohne optische Spielereien wie eine ‚Wall of Shame‘ oder Profilbilder.

Gut aber eine Sache muss nicht sein

perfekt bis der self approve integriert wurde. Ich weiß nicht wie oder ob man ihn deaktivieren kann. Seit dem ist es wie die reguläre Apple Bildschirmzeit. bitte wieder ändern

FAQ

What does Useless do?

Useless is a screen time control app that uses social pressure from friends to help you limit your phone usage. Instead of you controlling your limits, your friends do, making it harder to bypass your own rules and reclaim your time.

How do friends control my screen time?

When you hit your daily app limits, the app blocks access. If you need more time, you must ask your friends by recording a video or taking a photo explaining why. Your friends then vote to approve or deny your request.

Is Useless free to use?

Useless requires an active subscription to access all features. However, a free trial is available for new users, and inviting friends can also grant free access. All core features described are part of the subscription.

What kind of phone is compatible with Useless?

The app description mentions it uses Apple's Screen Time API, indicating it is designed for iOS devices. It is not specified if an Android version is available.

What are the benefits of using Useless?

The primary benefit is reclaiming significant amounts of daily screen time, with users reportedly reclaiming 2+ hours per day. It works by leveraging social accountability, which is presented as more effective than traditional app blockers that can be easily bypassed.
