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

You do not decide to scroll until 1 am. It just happens. Twilock shields the apps that pull you in during the two windows that cost you most: the hours right before sleep, and the ones right after waking. Pick the apps. Pick your window. Twilock handles the rest, so there is no willpower contest and no bargaining with yourself at 11 pm. Choose apps to shield and set Night and Morning windows of 15–120 minutes. Schedule the same times every day, separate weekdays and weekends, or custom days. Every enabled routine uses Strict Mode: routine settings are locked during active windows. Configure a timed early unlock before a window starts; choosing None disables that option. Revoking Screen Time access in iOS can end protection. Build streaks, earn badges and explore Insights. Optional Friends lets you connect by invite code and follow a shared leaderboard. New users need a monthly or annual subscription, or an eligible trial. Existing users retain permanent full access, and existing Lifetime purchases remain supported. Prices and trial eligibility appear before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage subscriptions in your App Store account. Restore Purchases is available in the app. Selected app identities and raw Screen Time usage stay on your device. Optional account, progress and friend data can sync. Product analytics and purchase services support the app; tracking permission is optional. Read the privacy policy for details.
