D.off
Read full descriptionHide full description
Spending more time on your phone than you'd like? D.off is a digital detox app built around self-control. It's more than a simple blocker — when you go past the limits you set for yourself, D.off locks the apps, and to unlock you type out meaningful quotes, letter by letter. Friction by design. Built with intent — designed to actually work. Self-imposed limits, enforced automatically - You set the limits, D.off keeps them - Daily limits, by category or per app - 24-hour asymmetric cooldown to soften impulsive changes Unlock by transcribing - On the shield screen, transcribe quotes to unlock - Not instant. Brief, deliberate typing, letter by letter - The feeling shifts from helplessness to ownership Masterpieces on the shield screen - The shield screen shows a framed public-domain masterpiece - Each time, a work is picked at random, skipping ones you've seen in the last 24 hours where possible Sleep protection (Premium) - Auto-lock during the sleep hours you set - Set a start and end time, then pick the days it applies to - A gentle digital break Emergency 30 minutes (included with Free) - For genuine urgency: one release per calendar week, 30 minutes - Once used, it's available again from next Monday Why D.off? - Transcription friction is something a simple timer can't offer Premium subscription (optional, auto-renewable) - For the first 7 days after you create your account, Premium features are available without a subscription; after that the app switches to Free with no automatic charge - First-time subscribers get a 7-day free trial, then $3.99/month or $29.99/year (about 37% less than monthly) - The paid subscription starts automatically when the subscription's free trial ends - It renews at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period - Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase - Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions - Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription - One account per device is recommended Privacy - Raw screen time data never leaves your device - Family Controls applies only to the apps you select - No advertising identifiers, no location tracking Languages 한국어, English, 日本語, 简体中文, Español, Français, ภาษาไทย This is a self-control wellness app. It is not a parental control app for monitoring others. ---- Support: chrislee.krh@gmail.com Terms: https://doff-elpis.web.app/terms.html Privacy: https://doff-elpis.web.app/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: D.off at 5.0 against Scheduled's 2.8. D.off also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Scheduled's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scheduled sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and D.off sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
D.off holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scheduled has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Scheduled ships an update every 3 weeks, D.off every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
