Screen Time Limit vs Send Me Reminders

Most of us pick up our phones hundreds of times a day. Research shows, the average internet user spends about 3h 46m per day online on mobile devices and 2h 52m on computers. That time adds up fast. Disconnect helps you take back control by turning “I should stop scrolling” into clear boundaries that actually stick. TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR TIME Disconnect is a minimalist screen time companion for iPhone. It combines app blocking, schedules, and simple insights so you can work, study, and relax without constant distractions. QUIT ENDLESS DOOMSCROLLING When you feel yourself slipping into “just one more minute,” start a block and get back on track. • Pick distracting apps (or entire categories) • Choose a duration (from a short focus sprint to a longer reset) • See your remaining time at a glance while a block is active • Disconnect steps in so you don’t have to rely on willpower BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Create friction where it matters, right at the moment you’re about to open a distraction. • Block social media, video, games, or any apps you choose • Get a clear blocked screen instead of an endless feed • Protect focus during work sessions, classes, reading, or workouts • Reduce impulse checking and “auto-pilot” tapping CREATE YOUR OWN SCHEDULES Make focus automatic with schedules that run in the background. • Build daily or weekly routines (Work Time, Deep Sleep, Gym Time, etc.) • Keep evenings calmer by scheduling downtime • Sleep better by removing late-night scrolling triggers • See what’s active now and what’s coming up next • Take a break when you need it, then jump back in INSIGHTS THAT MAKE YOU AWARE (WITHOUT THE GUILT) Awareness is the first step to change. Disconnect gives you a clean dashboard so you can understand your patterns and improve over time. • Your screen time today at a glance • Hour-by-hour activity to spot peak scrolling moments • A simple list of your most-used apps • Track progress over time as your routines get stronger MADE FOR REAL LIFE Disconnect is useful for: • Work & study: protect deep focus and finish tasks faster • Sleep: stop “one more scroll” at night • Digital detox: reset your relationship with your phone for a day or a weekend • Training & hobbies: stay present and consistent • Family & friends: create distraction-free time • Anyone who wants fewer interruptions and more intentional time GET STARTED IN UNDER A MINUTE 1) Choose the apps (or categories) you want to block 2) Start a one-time block or set up a schedule 3) Check Insights to see what changed SIMPLE BY DESIGN No clutter.
