Adapto - Adaptive Screen Time You don’t need more screen time rules. You need the right rules at the right time. Not every moment of your day is the same. Morning isn’t bedtime. School isn’t the weekend. Family time isn’t homework. Why should your screen time treat them the same? Yet that’s exactly how most screen time apps work. One set of rules. One schedule. All day long. Real life doesn’t work that way. That’s why we created Adaptive Screen Time. Adapto automatically adapts your screen time rules throughout your day, so your phone works with your life—not against it. -------------- Every moment deserves its own rules. Create routines for the moments that matter most. • Morning • School • Homework • Family Time • Bedtime • Weekends Or create routines that fit your own life. Every routine can have its own: • App Limits • App Blocking • Website Restrictions • Allowed Apps • Protection Settings When one routine ends, the next one begins automatically. No manual switching. No remembering schedules. No repeating the same settings every day. Just the right rules at the right time. -------- Built around your life. Most screen time apps start with one question: “What apps do you want to block?” Adapto starts with a different one: “What does your day look like?” Because screen time isn’t just about apps. It’s about your life. The apps you need during school aren’t the ones you need during family dinner. The rules that help you focus during homework aren’t the same rules you need on a relaxing weekend. Instead of forcing one set of rules to fit every moment, Adapto lets every moment have its own rules. That’s Adaptive Screen Time. ------------- Designed for healthier digital habits. Whether you’re creating healthier habits for yourself, setting better boundaries for your family, or helping your child build a balanced relationship with technology, Adapto adapts with your day—not against it. Because healthier screen time isn’t about blocking more apps. It’s about creating the right environment at the right moment. ------------- Welcome to Adaptive Screen Time. Technology shouldn’t force you to change your life. Technology should adapt to it. Welcome to Adapto.

Routine Timer

Big friendly timers. One step at a time. No pressure. Routine Timer is a visual timer for kids and grown-ups who get stuck between steps. Morning, homework, cleanup, bedtime: any routine becomes a sequence of visual steps, each with its own full-screen timer. A big color ring shrinks as the minutes pass, and a gentle tap says it is time to move on. MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Build a routine from steps: an icon and a duration, nothing else to set up • One giant timer per step, readable from across the room • A haptic nudge on every transition, and a notification with sound when the screen is off • Pause, skip, go back or restart any step. No streaks, no guilt, no failure stats • Notifications keep the routine going while the phone is locked PERFECT FOR • Morning routine before school, bedtime routine after the bath • Homework blocks and focus sprints • Toddlers and preschoolers learning to get ready on their own • Kids with ADHD or autism who do better with a schedule they can see • Cleanup bursts, chores and screen-time limits WHY IT WORKS A child cannot feel ten minutes, but can see a color ring getting smaller. Steps take the arguing out of transitions: the timer says it is time, not the parent. Grown-ups use it the same way for their own mornings and work sprints. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. Works offline. SIMPLE PRICING Your first routine is free, full featured, forever: every step, sounds and notifications. One purchase unlocks unlimited routines. No subscription, nothing recurring. If you already unlocked the app, nothing changes for you.
