Less screen. More time. Keep your candle burning and reduce your screen time together with ScreenOff. SCREEN-OFFS Challenge up to five people and compare who uses their phone less in ongoing weekly challenges. ScreenOff turns reducing screen time into a shared commitment without public profiles, feeds, or messaging. SEE YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE Follow daily progress, see who used their phone least, and review each weekly result. Screen-Offs (screen time challenges) continue week by week, so one difficult day does not end your momentum. APP BLOCKERS Get even better at reducing your screen time by applying ScreenOff's app blockers for the apps of your choice: full day blockers, daily time limits, and curfews, which block the apps in a given timeframe. 1 included in the free version. WEEKLY PERSONAL CHALLENGES ScreenOff guides you with weekly personal challenges that introduce friction to your phone usage. It suggests practical changes for a week, from a phone-free morning to a calmer bedtime routine. DESIGNED WITH PRIVACY IN MIND ScreenOff uses Apple's Screen Time controls. Your selected apps names do not get shared with anyone. Other ScreenOff participants see approximate total-use ranges, not which apps or websites you use. SCREEN/OFF PRO Unlock live comparisons and unlimited App Blockers. Available through an auto-renewable subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Screen Time access is required for challenge comparisons. Notifications are optional and help with challenge updates and reminders.
