Limit vs Opaque

Scrolling steals your time – Limit helps you take it back. Limit transforms how you use your phone through simple, science-based behavioral design. You choose your distractions, set a daily time limit, and go on with your day. Limit blocks those apps by default – so every time you open one, it’s a mindful choice, not a reflex. When you decide to use a distracting app, your time budget starts ticking. When your limit is reached, those apps stay blocked for the rest of the day. You’ll feel the difference in focus, mood, and time – one intentional decision at a time. Why Limit * Blocks distractions by default – every tap becomes intentional. * Set it once, live your day – Limit runs quietly in the background. * Behavioral science built-in – based on proven habit-change principles. * Free – no subscriptions, no upsells, no ads. * Backed by Freedom – trusted by millions for digital well-being and focus. Limit doesn’t shame you for using your phone. It simply helps you stay aware, present, and in control. Whether you want to focus on work, be more present with family, or reclaim creative time, Limit makes it easier to live intentionally. Download Limit and enjoy your apps – mindfully.

Opaque locks your most addictive apps behind a real shield, holds the line when the urge hits, and shows you the years you can gain back. Not a nag. A wall. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that eat your time and give them a daily budget. When it is spent, Apple's Screen Time shield comes down. Your first break of the day is one tap. The next needs a ten-second hold. The one after that, a sixty-second wait. Friction rises so the urge can pass. THE PRINTED QR CODE Print a code, put it somewhere far, and make scanning it the only way a group takes a break. The walk to the paper is the point. PLACES Save a spot like the office, and your picked apps stay blocked the whole time you are there, whatever the budget says. Your location is checked against your own saved circles on this phone and goes nowhere. THE HONEST MATH One hour a day is the equivalent of fifteen days a year. Most of us spend three or four hours. Opaque starts by showing you your own number, projected across your life, then helps you take it back a day at a time. EVERY HABIT, ITS OWN BUDGET Social apps at 30 minutes. Games at 45. Every group is its own limit with its own shield, streak, and ring. Apps in two groups stay protected by both. FOCUS HOURS Shield your work or school hours on the days you choose, or get gentle look-up nudges instead. Overnight windows work too, for protecting your sleep. PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL Keep your limit, keep your streak. Every morning, one quiet recap of yesterday: time used, urges beaten, minutes gained back. See your full per-app screen time, drawn on-device inside Apple's sandbox, where not even Opaque can read it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. No analytics. Your answers, limits, streaks, and places live in your phone's local storage. We could not sell your data if we wanted to. We do not want to.
