Reshade vs Grounded

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.

You know the drill. You set a Screen Time limit, you hit it, and ten seconds later you tap "Ignore Limit." The person enforcing your rules is the same person who wants to break them - so the rules never stick. Grounded fixes that with one honest change: someone else holds the key. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that eat your time and set a daily limit for each. 2. Hit a limit and the app locks. No ignore button. No "15 more minutes." 3. Need more time? Send a request to your Guardian - a person you trust - with a note (and a well-chosen GIF, if you're begging). 4. They approve or deny from their phone, in real time. If they approve, you choose when to start your extra minutes. Your Guardian can be anyone you'd actually listen to: your partner, best friend, sibling, roommate. They get a full app of their own - your pending requests, your limits at a glance, a history of every change - because accountability is a two-person job. WHY IT WORKS Willpower apps let you hold your own key. Grounded gives it to a real person who can say no. That tiny difference is the whole product: it turns "just this once" into a conversation you have to win. FREE FOR EVERYONE • Unlimited daily limits on any apps or categories • Real blocking at the limit - enforced with Apple's Screen Time technology • Today's screen time, pickups, and notifications, with day-over-day trends • Your streak of days under limit • A heads-up notification before a limit hits WITH GROUNDED PREMIUM • Ask your Guardian for extra time - and approve or deny theirs • Limit changes need your Guardian's sign-off, so the rules actually stick • Full weekly insights: 4-week trends, per-app breakdowns, biggest movers • One subscription covers both of you. Your person pays nothing. PRIVACY FIRST Your Guardian sees your limits and your requests - never your screen, your messages, or what you do inside your apps. We don't sell data. We can't even see which apps you limit. Grounded is for the willing but weak: people who genuinely want their time back and are honest enough to know a timer won't stop them. It isn't surveillance and it isn't a parental-control app - you set your own rules; your person just helps you keep them. Put your phone down. Pick your person. Get grounded. Grounded Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
