Multiple strategies to reduce your screentime 1. Delay before opening your app: A bit of time before choosing if you need to open your distracting app. You can have the wait time increase each time you open your app. 2. Interrupt your scrolling: Check your distracting apps for short periods of time so you don't get sucked in. 3. Set an app goal and optionally block when you reach your limit. 4. Configurable for different days of the week and time by app. 5. Messages like "Is this important" before opening your app. 6. See your screen time for only your distracting apps. Don't worry about Google Maps bloating up your time. 7. Strict block your apps: Either for time ranges, after a certain number of opens or ScreenTime. 8. Locks on Settings to prevent you from changing your settings when you want to open an app. 9. Breathing and other activities to encourage you not to need to open the app while waiting for it to unlock. 10. Streaks to encourage you not to exceed your limits or override your settings.

Start with local tools, saved work and exports without purchasing. New installs receive a limited, nonrenewing allowance for supported online AI work. Ongoing online use uses the included online allowance. Usage figures are estimates; the amount of work available varies by request. Personal CRMs like Dex cost around $12 a month and ask you to maintain a database of your friends. Most people stop within a fortnight, because keeping records on people you love feels like the opposite of the thing. Touchpoint is $7.99 a month and there is nothing to maintain. NOTHING TO FILL IN No fields, no tags, no last-contacted column to keep current. You mention things as they happen, in a sentence, and that is the whole input. An app you have to feed is an app you will abandon. IT ONLY SPEAKS UP WHEN THERE'S A REASON A promise you made and have not kept. A date they mentioned that is coming up. A gap that has gone past what that particular friendship carries — because a fortnight is long for one person and nothing at all for another. What it will never do is invent a reason. There is no "you haven't messaged Sam in 30 days" nudge, because that is how you end up sending a message that reads like it came from software. DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DIFFERENT RHYTHMS Touchpoint learns the natural cadence of each relationship from what actually happens, rather than applying one interval to everyone in your phone. WHAT IT COSTS $7.99/month, or $59.99/year — $5.00/month, including 583 prompts. About 39% under Dex, with no per-contact limit and no seats. The first seven days are free. What it costs after that, and the day the first charge lands, are both on the paywall before you start; cancelling in Settings during the trial stops it. WHAT WE DON'T DO • No credits, no consumables. You are never charged for a prompt that fails. • No weekly subscription. No per-contact pricing. • No streaks, no guilt counters, no manufactured urgency about people you care about. • Your notes about your friends are yours. We do not train on them. One of 32 Lumen apps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: ScreenZen at #146 against Touchpoint's unranked. ScreenZen also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
