Paaz vs Reduce

Break your phone addiction gradually. No judgment, no pressure. Paaz is the screen time app that lets you ease into healthier habits with usage budgets before blocking kicks in. Allow yourself 10 minutes of social media, if you stay within budget, apps never get blocked. Build sustainable digital habits at your own pace. ALLOWANCE: START SLOW, BUILD STEADY Unlike harsh app blockers that cut you off instantly, Paaz gives you grace time, the Allowance. Set a usage budget, get a gentle reminder when time's running low, then blocking activates only if needed. This gradual approach helps you reduce phone dependence without overwhelming restriction. TWO BLOCKING MODES, YOUR CHOICE Choose blacklist mode to block only distracting apps while keeping everything accessible. Or use whitelist mode to allow only essentials. Add Safari web filtering or block all browsing during deep work sessions. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Clean, meaningful analytics show your screen time patterns and blocking effectiveness. No manipulative metrics or engagement tricks—just simple data that helps you understand your habits and celebrate improvements. PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST Your digital habits are yours alone. Paaz never accesses, stores, or analyzes your app usage data. Everything stays private through Apple's Screen Time framework. No accounts required, no data collection, no judgment. INTENTIONALLY MINIMAL No social features. No leaderboards. No gamification. Paaz refuses to become another app competing for your attention. Set your schedules and let it work silently in the background, intervening only when you've asked it to.
