Nereus vs ScreenBuddy

~REQUIRES NEREUS DESKTOP APP~ Nereus helps you do your best work by blocking distracting apps on your iPhone during Deep Work sessions. DEEP WORK MODE When you're ready to focus, Nereus shields distracting apps so you can't access them until your session ends. No willpower needed - just scan the QR code from the Nereus Mac app and your phone locks down automatically. CROSS-DEVICE SYNC Pair your iPhone with the Nereus desktop app via QR code. Start a session on your Mac or Windows and your phone blocks until you complete your focus session. APP BLOCKING Select exactly which apps distract you most. Social media, messaging, games - block what you need, keep what matters. STAY DEEP Stay where digital distractions aren't - at the bottom of the sea.

ScreenBuddy uses friction to cut your screen time in half. Pick the apps that distract you most, and ScreenBuddy makes you wait 25 seconds before you can open them. Set a daily usage limit, and when it's gone, it's gone. HOW IT WORKS: - Select apps you want to limit. They are blocked 24/7 - Pause before you scroll. Wait before each unlock to break unconscious phone use - Personalized limits. Set a daily screen time limit you can commit to. Use it all at once or spread it out. Once it's gone, it's gone. WHY IT WORKS: Most app blockers are easy to bypass. You hit a limit, tap "ignore," and keep scrolling. ScreenBuddy works differently. Your apps are locked from the start, and the 25-second pause gives you time to reconsider before you open them. Over time, the phone habit fades because you keep interrupting it. ScreenBuddy helps you stop phone addiction without a full digital detox or dopamine detox. Just enough friction to stop doomscrolling and start living phone free. PERFECT FOR: - People who pick up their phone and don't remember why - Anyone trying to cut back on social media and brain rot content - Professionals who need distraction-free focus during work hours - Students struggling to stay on task - Parents who want to model better phone habits SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS: ScreenBuddy requires a premium subscription for full functionality.
