Wingman is an AI Screen Time Copilot that lives inside iMessage. Wingman combines your app and web usage with real context — your calendar, your to-dos, the time of day — and protects your focus. MORNING — it auto-blocks distractions around your important events and sets your usage limits for the day. THROUGHOUT THE DAY — it monitors and intervenes. Scrolling TikTok fifteen minutes before your physics final? Instant block. EVENING — you take the controls: start a task-locked focus session, ask for a break, or negotiate your limits. HOW IT WORKS
 Pick the apps, categories, and sites that are distracting. For each one, customize how strict Wingman should be: a simple on-device nudge, active monitoring with check-ins, a hard daily limit, a dynamic limit that flexes with your day, or full lockdown. MONITORING AND INTERVENTIONS
 Wingman watches your usage in real time and steps in when you drift. Interventions aren't generic reminders. They factor in the time of day, your calendar, your to-dos, and the goals you've shared. FOCUS SESSIONS
 Solo Focus: block your chosen apps and sites for a set duration. Simple and unlimited.
 Wingman Focus: block until the task is actually done. You tell Wingman what you're working on, distractions lock, and they stay locked until you submit proof of work. No timer to wait out. PLAN DAY
 Connect your calendar, and Wingman builds the day's blocking schedule automatically, locking down during lectures, labs, and study blocks, and fitting time for your fun apps around the things that matter. Have a fixed weekly schedule? Set a block once, mark it recurring, and it applies every time. DYNAMIC LIMITS
 Instead of a flat limit, Wingman allocates a daily budget for each of your fun apps based on how much slack your day actually has. Light day, more fuel. Exam week, less. HARDCORE AND BREAK NEGOTIATION
 Your worst distractions stay locked 24/7. Need a break from a locked app? Make your case. Wingman weighs your reason against the time, your calendar, and your to-dos, then decides: approve it outright, approve it after a short focus session, hold it until a cooldown ends, or decline. A snack run at noon gets a different answer than "lunch break" at 4 a.m. SCREEN TIME REPORT
 Get a score, trends over time, and an AI breakdown of where your hours went and what to change. IPHONE AND MAC, ONE ACCOUNT
 Start a session on your phone and your Mac follows. Blocks, focus sessions, and your plan for the day stay in sync across devices. Wingman can also reach you over iMessage with a heads-up when it matters. PRIVACY
 Your usage data lives on your device. Before anything reaches Wingman's AI, Screen Time data is summarized and stripped of identifying details. We don't sell your data. Full policy at wingmanfocus.org/privacy. FREE VS. WINGMAN ULTRA

Eclipse is a screen time control and app blocker that works without relying on your willpower. Grayscale scheduling and intentional app blocking make your phone a harder place to lose yourself in. Less sensory reward, less easy access, fewer wasted hours. Your phone is engineered to hold your attention. Every color, notification, and scroll is designed to bring you back. Eclipse works against that. Features: • Scheduled grayscale during your focus hours • App blocking to cut social media and distraction • Recurring focus blocks for work, study, or evenings • Break controls when you need flexibility • Weekly screen time insights to track your habits Eclipse uses Screen Time permissions and requires a short one-time setup. Free trial available. Premium features including grayscale schedules, app blocking, and weekly insights require an auto-renewing subscription. It's design, not discipline.
