What would your day look like if you controlled your screen time instead of it controlling you? An average person spends about 7 hours a day on screens. Over a year, that adds up to around 3.5 months. Imagine that. More than a quarter of the year passed with eyes on a device, often without us even noticing. Screens are part of everyday life for work, communication, and entertainment, but too much screen time can quietly pull us away from things that really matter. It also affects how we feel. Long screen time can make us more distracted, increase stress or anxiety, and interfere with sleep, especially when we scroll late at night. Physically, it can lead to tired eyes, headaches, poor posture, and less movement throughout the day. This is why we created Caretix. It is an app designed for Apple devices to help you manage your screen time in a healthier way. Caretix lets you set a daily usage limit and once you reach it, the app steps in to help you take a break. You can set the threshold based on what feels right for your lifestyle. You also have the option to control specific apps, categories, or websites while keeping important tools and productivity apps available without limits. To make the experience more mindful, you can break your daily allowance into smaller sessions throughout the day. When a session ends, Caretix introduces an interactive intervention that temporarily blocks access and unlocks only after you complete a challenge, quiz, or short exercise. It is a gentle nudge that helps you pause, reset, and refocus instead of falling into endless scrolling. Caretix is built to support better digital habits, with small but meaningful steps that help you take back control of your time. But here is the interesting part. What if we actually paid attention to how we use our screens and made small changes along the way? What if we learned from it, adjusted, and slowly built a better balance in our day? Caretix gives you a way to try that out for yourself. You get the tools, you get the space, and you get to explore what works. So the real question becomes, if you had more time back in your day, what would you do with it?
Scrollless
This app helps you break free from endless scrolling by requiring you to commit to a session length before opening blocked apps. Once your time is up, all selected apps lock together, preventing you from switching to another. It uses behavioral science principles to foster intentional usage and reduce screen time.
- Commit to session length before opening apps
- Cross-app locking to prevent switching
- 5-minute reset breaks
- No surprise lockouts or daily caps
- Built on behavioral science principles
- Privacy-focused with no data collection

You open Instagram for "just a few minutes." Time flies, so you switch to YouTube. Then TikTok. Two hours gone. Again. Most screen time apps punish you for this. Scrollless empowers you to stop it before it starts. HOW SCROLLLESS IS DIFFERENT Before you open any blocked app, Scrollless asks one simple question: "How long do you want this session to be?" You commit upfront, like making a promise to yourself. When your time is up, all your selected apps lock together. No sneaking to another app. The loop stops. This is not another app blocker. It is a commitment device. WHY IT WORKS → Intentional sessions beat passive blocks. Choosing your time in advance activates commitment, a principle proven by behavioral science. → Cross-app locking stops the app-hopping loop. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok: they all lock together, so you can't just switch to the next one. → 5-minute reset breaks give your brain time to decide: do you actually want more scroll time, or did you just forget you were done? → No surprise lockouts. No daily caps. No fighting your own phone. THE RESULTS Many users report a significant reduction in their daily screen time. Not from willpower. From a smarter system. BUILT ON BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE Scrollless is grounded in habit formation research, decision fatigue studies, and commitment device theory. The same principles behind the most effective behavior change programs. PRIVACY FIRST No VPN. No accounts. No personal data collected by us.
