You've been on your phone for 3 hours today. Your friends have no idea. Screen Snitch changes that - hit your limit, and the app blocks you until you confess to them. You've tried Screen Time limits. You dismissed every single one. You tried going cold turkey. Lasted a few days. You tried app blockers. Found the workaround in an afternoon. None of it worked because the only person holding you accountable was you. And you keep letting yourself off the hook. Screen Snitch adds real consequences. Exceed your limit on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube - any app you actually struggle with - and your phone blocks it. No getting around it. The only way back in? Open Screen Snitch, type an excuse, and snitch on yourself. Your friends get a notification. Your excuse goes in their feed. "Just five more minutes." "It's for work I promise." "No excuse, I'm weak." Your friends will see whichever one you pick. And react accordingly. Here's what you get: • Set limits on your most-used apps • Hit your limit - the app gets blocked until you confess • Type an excuse and snitch on yourself to unlock 5 more minutes • Your friends get notified and see your excuse in their feed • Build streaks for every app you stay under limit on • See who's winning the battle against their phone on the group leaderboard Over a dozen people tested Screen Snitch before launch. The most common reaction: "I actually stopped because I knew I'd have to explain myself." That's the whole point. Download free. Add one friend. See how your excuses hold up.
