Look up from your phone. The average person loses years to the scroll. Lookup quietly hands that time back — it blocks the apps that steal your focus, sets you a daily goal, and shows you exactly where your hours go. Less phone, measurably better. BLOCK WHAT DISTRACTS YOU Choose the apps that pull you in, and Lookup steps in the moment you reach for them. Set lasting limits or start a one-tap block when you need to focus right now. SET A DAILY GOAL Pick a target for your screen time and watch your real progress against it, day by day. No guilt — just a clear picture and a line you decide to hold. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES A clean, honest report of your screen time: total hours, pickups, notifications, and your most-used apps, broken down hour by hour. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Turn unlocking into a habit worth keeping. With Good App First, open something that matters before the apps that don't — and tie your screen time to real health goals. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Lookup is built entirely on Apple Screen Time. Your activity stays on your device. We never see, store, or upload your screen time — ever.
