A quiet companion for your screen time. See your habits, set goals, gently slow down the apps that pull you in. Description (4000 char): Swipecure shows you the truth of your screen habits — calmly, without judgement, and entirely on your device. WHAT IT DOES • Tracks your daily Quality Score from app usage • Shows productive vs neutral vs waste time at a glance • Slows down the apps you pick (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube…) • Lock-screen widget with your daily pickups • Weekly AI reflection on your patterns • Evening reminder you can answer in one line, without opening the app WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most screen-time apps make you feel watched. Swipecure feels like a journal. Warm, serif, slow. No streaks weaponised against you. No data sent anywhere — everything lives on your phone. WHAT IT CAN'T DO iOS doesn't let any app target a single screen inside another (Reels and Shorts can't be blocked alone). Swipecure shields the whole app you choose, or specific web domains in Safari. PRIVACY No accounts. No servers. No analytics. Your screen-time data stays in your App Group on this device.
