Reshade vs Detox

Reshade helps you stop opening apps on autopilot and build screen time limits that fit real life. Most app blockers only ask: should this app be blocked or not? Reshade goes further. It gives you hard limits, soft pauses, intent checks, and place-based app rules, so your phone can react to your real day instead of treating every moment the same. Your phone should fit your life. Not steal your time. APP LIMITS FOR REAL LIFE Create rules for apps, websites, and app groups that pull you into scrolling, checking, doomscrolling, and repeat-use loops. Use Reshade to protect work, study, workouts, focus sessions, creative projects, real-life commitments, calmer phone habits, and intentional breaks. PLACES: APP RULES BY LOCATION Your phone should not behave the same everywhere. With Places, you can create app rules for real locations like your office, gym, study space, home, commute, or other important places in your life. When location access is enabled, Reshade can recognize saved places in the background and help your rules activate around the places you choose. No need to rebuild your limits every time your context changes. Examples: - keep social media away during work - protect study spaces from entertainment apps - reduce scroll loops around workouts - allow useful apps where they help - change access when you arrive or leave COMMITMENT PLACES Some goals only work when you actually show up. Set a commitment, such as reaching the gym, arriving at your study spot, or getting to work. Reshade can keep distracting apps locked until you reach the place you committed to. If you do not show up, your distractions stay closed. SHIELD: HARD DAILY LIMITS Shield sets a daily time budget for distracting apps. Once your limit is used, selected apps stay blocked until the next day. No endless “just one more minute” loops. SUPPORT: PAUSES FOR DOOMSCROLLING LOOPS Support is for moments when you only wanted to check something quickly, but the app keeps pulling you back in. Instead of fully blocking access, Support interrupts repeat-use loops with a pause. After the wait time you choose, access can unlock again automatically. A softer way to slow doomscrolling and quick-check habits. SIGNAL: OPEN APPS WITH INTENT Signal adds a conscious step before selected apps open. Add a short pause, a reason, a reminder, or daily minute credits before access. Turn opening an app into a small decision instead of an automatic reflex. REDIRECT THE MOMENT When you try to open a protected app, Reshade can guide you toward a better next step instead of leaving you stuck. Open a useful app, start a focused action, reflect for a moment, or choose something that fits what you wanted to do. UNDERSTAND YOUR SCREEN TIME Reshade Lens helps you see your patterns more clearly: protection behavior, pressure moments, redirects, screen time context, and progress signals. BUILT FOR INTENTIONAL PHONE USE Use Reshade as a screen time app, app blocker, focus tool, digital wellbeing companion, productivity system, and a practical way to stop app loops before they take over. Reshade also includes Targets for goals, Journal for writing things down, Telescope for clarity before the next step, and Resona for audio-based resets with binaural beats. Less autopilot. More intention. Download Reshade and build app limits for real life.

Your phone is built to keep you scrolling. Detox is built to help you stop. If you've ever looked at your screen time and felt a pang of regret, you're not alone. The average person unlocks their phone over 100 times a day and spends four or more hours in apps designed to maximize attention, not wellbeing. Detox hands the control back to you with a simple, powerful toolkit built on Apple's native Screen Time framework. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps or categories you want to block — social media, games, streaming, news, or anything else that steals your focus. 2. Detox activates Apple's system-level Screen Time shield the moment you confirm. Your chosen apps are blocked instantly and stay blocked even if you close Detox, restart your phone, or try to reinstall them. 3. When you need temporary access, unlock for 1, 5, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2, or 3 hours. A live countdown keeps you accountable. No complicated setup. No daily permissions. No loopholes. KEY FEATURES • Block any app or category with one tap — instant system-level shield • Live Dynamic Island countdown shows unlock time remaining • Flexible unlock windows from 1 minute up to 3 hours • Daily focus score from 0 to 100 that rewards discipline • Streak counter that grows every day you stay under your limit • Weekly reclaimed time report • Complete app usage breakdown via Apple's DeviceActivityReport • Separate daily, weekday, and weekend screen time goals • Beautiful dark interface with smooth animations and haptic feedback • 40 rotating daily focus tips on attention and intentional living • Works entirely offline — no account, no cloud sync, no data collection THE DYNAMIC ISLAND DIFFERENCE Most screen time apps disappear the moment you close them. Detox doesn't. When an unlock is active, a live countdown lives in your Dynamic Island. You see the timer ticking while browsing, texting, or using any other app. It's your focus companion — always present, never intrusive. When the countdown ends, your shield snaps back automatically. FOCUS SCORE AND STREAKS Detox turns discipline into a game you actually want to play. Your daily focus score reflects how well you've stayed within your goals. Every day under the limit extends your streak. Every mindful moment compounds into a habit that sticks. PRIVACY FIRST Your data never leaves your device. Detox is built on Apple's privacy-preserving Screen Time APIs — we never see which apps you use, how long, or any personal information. No account, no email, no tracking. Everything is processed locally on your iPhone. START TAKING CONTROL TODAY Download Detox, choose the apps that drain your attention, and block them in under 30 seconds. Reclaim your hours.
