Anti Screen Time vs Mizaru

Most screen time apps work by capping you. They set hard limits, block apps for the rest of the day, and leave you locked out the moment you hit a number. Anti Screen Time works differently. There are no usage limits and no permanent blocks. You move through a rhythm of sessions and rests, and your total screen time drops, often dramatically, without anything being capped or taken away for good. Here's how it works. You start a session and have full, unlimited access to everything on your phone. When the session ends, a short rest begins, a brief pause where your controlled apps become unavailable for a few minutes. When the rest ends, your apps return, ready for your next session. No daily cutoffs. No "you're out of time." Just a gentle in-and-out rhythm that adds up to far less screen time. Anti Screen Time is for people who've tried strict limits and bounced off them. If hitting a wall every day has never worked, a gentle rhythm of sessions and rests might. Use everything you love, in a calmer cadence. Lower your screen time. No limits, no daily cutoffs, just a gentler rhythm. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.antiscreentime.com/privacy

Sometimes, putting down your phone is the kindest thing you can do for yourself. Mizaru — named for the wise monkey who sees no evil — makes it beautifully simple to step away from the apps that pull at your attention. Tap once, choose a preset, and your phone quietly steps back with you. No lectures. No guilt. Just a little room to breathe. ONE TAP. THAT'S ALL. Choose from 15, 30, 60, or 120-minute presets, or set a custom end time to the minute. A live label shows you exactly when your block ends — no guessing, just calm clarity from start to finish. REAL BLOCKING. REAL PEACE. Mizaru uses Apple's Screen Time API to actually prevent access to distracting apps for the duration you choose. When temptation creeps in mid-block, the built-in Shield extension gives you a quiet moment to pause and stay the course — without shame, just a gentle nudge. SEE YOUR PROGRESS. Weekly and cumulative charts reveal how those small, intentional choices are quietly adding up. Progress isn't measured in perfection. It's measured in moments — and every single one counts. FOR EVERYONE IN YOUR LIFE. Helping kids wind down after school, protecting deep work time, or finally getting through a book without reaching for your phone — Mizaru fits gently into the rhythm of your day. Home Screen widgets keep your active block visible at a glance, so you always know where you stand. Available in English and Japanese. Small steps, at your own pace. That's all it takes. Put your phone down, just for a little while — Mizaru will be right here when you're ready.
