Lesscreen helps you reduce screen time and block distracting apps, so you can make room for what matters. Start a focus session, schedule regular breaks from apps, or set a shared daily time limit. FOCUS WHEN YOU CHOOSE Choose the apps, categories or websites you want to block, then set a focus duration. Start with 25, 45 or 60 minutes, or adjust the session to suit your day. BUILD A ROUTINE Schedule blocking for work, study or bedtime. Choose your start time, end time and days of the week. Overnight schedules can continue into the next morning. SET A DAILY LIMIT Give your selected apps a shared daily time budget. When the budget is reached, that selection is blocked for the rest of the day. The limit resets at local midnight. START WITH A TEMPLATE Work time, Wind down and Less social scrolling give you a starting point you can make your own. PROTECT YOUR PLANS An optional setting prevents you from stopping, editing or deleting a plan inside Lesscreen while it is actively blocking. You remain in control of Screen Time permission in iOS Settings. CLEAR, SIMPLE CONTROLS Manage your routines in one place and see which plans are active. If plans overlap, an app unlocks only when no active plan is still blocking it. No account is required. Your selected apps and plans are stored on your device. Lesscreen uses Apple's Screen Time features and requires permission to block your selection. Daily limits are shared across each plan's selection, not separate limits for every app. On iOS 17.4 and later, earlier usage from the same day is included. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Simplified Chinese and Vietnamese. Requires iOS 16 or later.

You'll pick up your phone 96 times today. Not because you're weak โ because you're doing it alone. time Saved is the app blocker that actually works, because it's not just you against your phone. It's you and your friends, holding each other accountable. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: 1. Create a group with up to 3 friends 2. Each person picks the apps they want to limit 3. Set daily time limits (30 min, 1 hour, whatever you choose) 4. When you hit your limit, the app is blocked 5. Need more time? Ask your group. They'll decide. That last part is what makes time Saved different. When Instagram is blocked and you're tempted to just... turn off the blocker... you can't. Not without your friends knowing. Not without asking them for permission. It's accountability that actually works. WHY GROUPS? We've all tried Screen Time. We've all set limits. And we've all ignored them 10 seconds later. The problem isn't the limits. The problem is that when it's just you, there's no one to disappoint. No one notices. No one cares. time Saved changes that. Your group sees when you're staying within limits. They see when you ask for more time. They're in it with you. Small groups (2-4 people) keep us honest, encouraged, and consistent. FEATURES: โข Block any app with daily time limits โข Create or join an accountability group โข Request extra time when you genuinely need it โข Get notified when friends need support โข See your group's activity and progress โข "Time to live your life" โ a gentle reminder when apps are blocked A subscription is required to access group creation features. time Saved offers a monthly subscription at $9.99/month.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lesscreen at none against time Saved's 1. Lesscreen also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
