Delay vs GetBored

Turn your screen time into study time. Delay makes you answer practice questions on topics you want to learn before you can open distracting apps like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Instead of setting aside more time to study, learning becomes a transparent layer integrated into something you already do every day. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Before opening a blocked app, Delay gives you a few quick practice questions. Answer them correctly to earn access. Every time you reach for a distracting app, you get another small repetition of something you actually want to learn. LEARN WHAT YOU WANT Choose exactly what you want to study. Whether you're learning a language, preparing for an exam, memorizing important concepts, or building knowledge in a new subject, Delay turns your material into questions you can practice throughout the day. LEARN THROUGH REPETITION Delay integrates learning into moments that would otherwise be spent scrolling. Instead of relying on long study sessions, you repeatedly encounter your material throughout the day. Over time, those small repetitions add up. END THE DOOMSCROLL Your apps automatically lock again after your earned screen time expires. If you want to keep scrolling, you study again. This creates a simple cycle: learn, unlock, scroll, repeat. IMPORT YOUR STUDY MATERIAL Bring the material you already want to learn into Delay and turn it into practice questions. Keep different subjects organized and choose what you want to practice when unlocking your apps. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See how much you've practiced, how consistently you're answering questions, and how your knowledge improves over time. The screen time you would have spent scrolling becomes measurable learning progress. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION Delay works directly with your apps so studying becomes part of your normal routine. Once it's set up, simply use your phone as usual. When you try to open a blocked app, Delay gives you your questions, you answer them, and you're right back in. MAKE SCREEN TIME USEFUL You’re already going to open your favorite apps throughout the day. Delay simply puts learning in between. Instead of finding more time to study, use the time and habits you already have. DOWNLOAD DELAY Delay requires a subscription to access certain features.

Let a spare moment stay a spare moment. GetBored helps you set clear boundaries around distracting apps, then get on with your day. Enable Apple Screen Time access, choose apps, categories or websites, and use a timed session, a repeating schedule or a shared daily usage allowance. CLEAR BLOCKS • See planned blocks in a seven-day timeline, including overnight windows and overlapping rules. • Check why an app is blocked, which session or rule is responsible and when it ends. • Save named session presets, extend an active session, plan breaks with automatic reblocking, and choose essential-app exceptions. • Optional commitment mode adds a deliberate pause before ending early. An emergency exit remains available. • Start saved sessions through widgets, Siri, Shortcuts or your Action Button. Live Activities show the session end time. Focus automation setup explains how to connect a preset through Shortcuts. A COMPANION WHO CELEBRATES INDEPENDENCE Peb is a soft companion with automatic poses and illustrated scenes. Your space brings Peb, recorded-session totals and milestones together; the default sky changes gently through the day. Peb never needs feeding, check-ins or a streak. Explore 48 free milestone badges with direct numeric requirements and no deadline or streak loss. HONEST PROGRESS Recorded blocking duration is not time saved or proof that you stayed away from your phone. Breaks and early endings do not earn completed-session milestones. Actual Screen Time usage appears separately in Apple’s protected report. Optional practice and control measurements are labeled self-reported. AN OPTIONAL PROGRAM WITH AN END Try a four-week practice program: identify familiar triggers, choose brief phone-down moments and notice urges. Reminders reduce over time and stop in the final week, giving you room to see what lasts without prompts. GetBored has not been clinically tested and does not claim to cure addiction, restore attention spans or guarantee results. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account or advertising. Private records stay on your device. Optional Firebase Analytics starts only if you enable Help improve GetBored during onboarding or in Settings. You can decline and use the app normally. Preview optional exports and diagnostics before sharing. Screen Time authorization is your choice and can be revoked in Settings. FREE CORE, OPTIONAL PLUS Free includes unlimited timed sessions, 2 schedules, 1 daily allowance, 3 presets, 6 scenes, all milestones and the complete optional program. Existing saved rules and presets remain usable. Emergency recovery stays available. Plus adds reusable Work, Study, Evening and Driving profiles; different weekend hours and date exceptions; preplanned work/break sessions; expiring app exceptions; optional commitment until the session ends; private shield reminders; favorite-scene rotation and matching widget colors; 24 extra scenes and 20 alternate icons; weekly comparisons, planned seven-day coverage and session CSV exports. Plus supports up to 8 rules and 8 presets. Connect saved profiles to place, Focus, NFC or driving triggers with Apple Shortcuts personal automations. Setup is required in Shortcuts, and trigger availability depends on iOS and the device. GetBored does not track your location. Monthly and yearly subscriptions provide the same features. The yearly plan bills the full annual total upfront. Both renew automatically until canceled through Apple. No trial or new one-time option is offered. Graduation does not cancel billing automatically.
