STAYED - take back your time. Most screen time apps just block and guilt you. Stayed is different. Build real focus habits that stick, on your schedule, your terms. Block What Distracts You: Choose exactly which apps to block during your sessions. No workarounds, no cheating. Real blocking powered by Apple's Screen Time API. Sessions That Fit Your Life: Create time-based or recurring sessions around your real routine: mornings, evenings, deep work, or full days. Edit, pause, or adjust anytime. Know Where Your Time Goes: Detailed activity reports show your real screen time by app, by day, by week. No sugarcoating. Stay on Track: Smart reminders keep you accountable before and during sessions, so you never lose momentum. Built for Habit, Not Guilt: Stayed doesn't punish you for slipping. It helps you understand your patterns and improve, one session at a time. Your phone is a tool. Start using it like one.
