Record a quick voice note or type your reason. This tiny pause creates massive awareness about your habits. You stay in control Create separate rules for different situations: "Social Media" - 30 minutes during work hours "Gaming" - 1 hour after dinner "News" - 15 minutes in the morning Each rule works independently, so you're not locked out of everything.

You'll pick up your phone 96 times today. Not because you're weak – because you're doing it alone. time Saved is the app blocker that actually works, because it's not just you against your phone. It's you and your friends, holding each other accountable. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: 1. Create a group with up to 3 friends 2. Each person picks the apps they want to limit 3. Set daily time limits (30 min, 1 hour, whatever you choose) 4. When you hit your limit, the app is blocked 5. Need more time? Ask your group. They'll decide. That last part is what makes time Saved different. When Instagram is blocked and you're tempted to just... turn off the blocker... you can't. Not without your friends knowing. Not without asking them for permission. It's accountability that actually works. WHY GROUPS? We've all tried Screen Time. We've all set limits. And we've all ignored them 10 seconds later. The problem isn't the limits. The problem is that when it's just you, there's no one to disappoint. No one notices. No one cares. time Saved changes that. Your group sees when you're staying within limits. They see when you ask for more time. They're in it with you. Small groups (2-4 people) keep us honest, encouraged, and consistent. FEATURES: • Block any app with daily time limits • Create or join an accountability group • Request extra time when you genuinely need it • Get notified when friends need support • See your group's activity and progress • "Time to live your life" – a gentle reminder when apps are blocked A subscription is required to access group creation features. time Saved offers a monthly subscription at $9.99/month.
