Detox helps you cut down your screen time without frustration. You choose the apps and how Detox steps in: when you've been scrolling for too long, at set hours, once your time for the day is used, or right now. Everything you don't pick, like chats, maps or work apps, stays open. Detox is a subscription app, and a subscription is required to use it. Free trials may be available on some plans for eligible new subscribers. Cancel anytime. SESSION LIMITS Most blockers shut down everything. Detox uses consecutive usage limits. You choose the apps. Detox blocks them only after you have been using them continuously for too long, like 15 minutes in a row, then for a short time you pick, like 5 minutes. Quick checks are fine. Long doomscrolling sessions are interrupted. - Set a consecutive usage limit for selected apps - Create several session limits, each with its own apps - Keep access to messages, maps and work tools - Break long scrolling streaks without feeling punished SCHEDULED BLOCKS Create time periods on selected days of the week where distracting apps are automatically blocked. Add websites too. Use schedules to avoid distractions during: - Your mornings - Your evenings and nights - Your daily focus hours Set it once and Detox blocks the apps you choose at the times you choose. DAILY LIMITS Give apps a daily time budget, like 1 hour a day. It's the total that counts, so many short visits add up too. Once it's used, the apps stay blocked until your day starts over, or for a time you choose. Daily limits are available on iOS 17.4 or later. BLOCK NOW Start a Block now when you need deep work. Detox blocks distracting apps right away, for anywhere from 5 minutes to 4 hours, while essential tools stay available. SEE HOW YOUR DAY IS GOING Home shows your screen time today next to your usual, a typical day for you. Switch to only the apps in your blocks, or look back at another day. STAY IN CONTROL - Strict mode: while a rule blocks, you can't change it, delete it or uninstall apps - Unblocks: when you really need an app, a short wait helps you decide. Or set Unblocks to None for your strictest rules - Turn off: stop a rule for a while, for a holiday or a sick day. It turns back on by itself - Urgent unblock: for real emergencies, once every 24 hours MADE TO FIT YOU Light or dark, you choose the look in Settings. Every rule lives on the Blocks page as a card, so you can see what's set up at a glance. WHY DETOX WORKS Detox targets long, mindless sessions instead of every single unlock. This makes control of your screen time sustainable in the long term. - Less frustration - Fewer willpower battles - No uninstalling after two weeks A CALMER DIGITAL LIFE With Detox, you'll enjoy more time for what matters and less mindless scrolling.
