Meet your Budli - a tiny pet that thrives when you stay off the apps that eat your day. Less doomscrolling, more life. No white-knuckle willpower required. WHY CARE WORKS WHEN GUILT DOESN'T Most blockers say "stop" - but your phone is right there, and one tap later you're back. Budli gives you a reason instead: a little creature that grows on the time you win back. You're not breaking a rule, you're looking after someone. That tiny shift is what makes it stick. HOW IT WORKS - Pick your trap apps - the ones you open without thinking - Stay under your daily limit and your Budli grows, evolves, and cheers you on - Go over and you lose XP - the next evolution stalls until you're back under - Open a trap app anyway and your Budli steps in with a soft "are you sure?" - a pause, not a wall of shame WHAT'S INSIDE - Real app blocking, built on Apple Screen Time - not another reminder you swipe away - One pet, seven forms - it evolves on the hours you win back, and stalls when the scroll wins - Deep Focus sessions for when you need to be unreachable - Honest stats that show where your hours really go - judged by no one - Tiny daily rituals - stretch, sunlight, a mindful break - for you and your pet - Emergency passes, because some days life actually needs your phone MADE FOR DISTRACTIBLE BRAINS If you've ever tapped "15 more minutes" and meant it every single time, Budli was built for you. Gentle structure, visible progress, zero shame - friendly to ADHD brains and anyone whose thumb has a mind of its own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your Screen Time data never leaves your device. No accounts, no tracking, no selling your attention back to you. What would you do with two extra hours a day? Your Budli can't wait to find out. BUDLI PLUS Budli requires a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings - no hoops, no dark patterns. Terms of Use: https://budliapp.netlify.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://budliapp.netlify.app/privacy
