Lesscreen vs Hourglow

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.

Reclaim your time. Hourglow blocks the apps and websites that pull you in, so you can focus on what actually matters. Social media at work. Games before bed. Endless scrolling when you should be studying. Hourglow puts you back in control with a single tap. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS INSTANTLY Pick the apps, websites, or whole categories you want a break from, set a timer, and go. 15 minutes or 4 hours, focus starts now. SET IT AND FORGET IT Create recurring schedules that block automatically: work hours, study sessions, bedtime, the gym. Your focus runs on autopilot, every day. BLOCK BY PLACE Trigger blocks the moment you arrive somewhere. Walk into the office or the library and the distractions switch off by themselves. DAILY LIMITS Give yourself a budget. When you hit your daily minutes on an app, Hourglow steps in. STRICT MODE For the moments you would talk yourself out of it. Lock your blocks behind a PIN, a confirmation phrase, and a cool-down delay, so the spur-of-the-moment urge can't win. KEEP WHAT MATTERS WORKING Add an allowlist for the apps that should never be blocked, like phone, maps, messages, and accessibility tools. MAKE IT YOURS Replace the block screen with your own title and motivational message. A reminder of your goals every time you reach for a distraction.
