Uglify Screen Time
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your feed was built by thousands of engineers to be impossible to leave. Uglify is the only app built to make it boring. The longer you scroll past your limit, the uglier your screen gets. Color drains. The screen dims. Then everything inverts. Your hyper-optimized feed becomes so dull you justβ¦ stop. No blocking. No lockout. Just friction. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps to watch and set your daily free time. Uglify runs in the background; once free time is spent, the effects escalate: 1) Flat Gray. Color is removed and sound mutes. Your feed looks like a newspaper from 1987. 2) Dull Dimmed. The screen darkens. Watching videos feels like staring through fog. 3) Nuclear. Colors invert. Combined with the grayscale, the screen becomes genuinely unpleasant. You'll want to leave. That's the point. WHY IT WORKS You don't have a "willpower problem." You have a design problem. Social media apps are built by thousands of engineers whose job is to keep you scrolling. Infinite feeds, autoplay, variable-ratio rewards β these aren't features. They're traps. Uglify doesn't lock you out and doesn't lecture you. When you cross into a new level, a shield appears β dismiss it and keep going. It's a speed bump, not a wall. Uglify strips the engineering off the content so you can see it for what it is: not that interesting. Think of it as shoes for your attention. You could run barefoot. But shoes make the ground less hostile, so your effort actually gets you somewhere. WHAT YOU GET Β» 3 levels of progressive uglification Β» Works with any app you choose β TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest, and more Β» Automatic grayscale, dimming, and color inversion Β» Sound stays off once filters kick in. Silence is a feature. Β» Live Activity in the Dynamic Island β your day at a glance Β» No streaks. No shame. No guilt. UGLIFY PRO »»» Daily, weekly, and monthly screen time analytics »»» Per-app and per-session breakdowns »»» Customizable level thresholds WHAT WE BELIEVE You are not the problem. The platforms are the problem. Uglify exists to give your willpower a fair fight against a billion-dollar engagement engine. The sunset was always more colorful than the feed. You just couldn't tell, because the feed was cheating. Now it's not. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
