Vault vs Charge Screen Time

Vault was created because we believe focus should happen automatically. We noticed that willpower-based app blockers only work when you remember to use them—but what if your phone could simply know when it's time to focus? That's why we built an app that ties your digital habits to your real-world locations. Vault is a location-powered productivity app that automatically blocks distracting apps and websites when you enter specific zones you define. Set up a vault at the gym, and social media disappears the moment you walk in. Create one for your office, and games vanish during work hours. Step outside, and everything returns—no buttons to press, no timers to set. Simply draw a zone on the map and choose what to block. Your phone handles the rest. Whether you're trying to stay present at the dinner table, focused at the library, or undistracted at the gym, Vault creates invisible boundaries that keep you on track. The Vault app allows you to: - Create custom-shaped focus zones anywhere on the map (circles or rectangles) - Automatically block specific apps, entire categories, or websites when you enter a zone - Prevent app deletion while inside a vault—so you can't cheat your way out - Layer multiple overlapping vaults with combined restrictions - Drag and resize zones in real-time with visual feedback - Manage and edit your vaults from an easy-to-use map dashboard Built with your privacy in mind: Your vault locations and blocked apps are stored locally on your device—never sent to our servers. Vault uses Apple's official Screen Time API for secure, system-level blocking.

Block distracting apps without the all-or-nothing cutoff. Charge gives any app or website you choose a charge of minutes, like a battery. Once you've used the useful portion of your scrolling, it blocks until you take a break! Most screen time limits are a wall: you hit it, you're locked out until tomorrow, so you switch the limit off. Charge works like a battery instead. Spend your charge when you need it and recharge every time you step away. Run out, and Charge blocks those apps with Apple's own Screen Time shield until you've recharged. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps, websites or categories that steal your time • Choose a preset (Lockdown, Limited, Restrained or Relaxed) or set your own • Your charge goes down while you use them; at zero they're blocked • Take a break from them and recharge, up to your max charge FEATURES • App blocker and website blocker built on Apple Screen Time. No VPN, no accessibility tricks • Earned breaks: time away from your apps recharges them • Multiple blocklists, each with its own charge, for social media, games, news, shopping or work email • Schedules: only count time during work hours, school or evenings • Always-block schedules for sleep, study or deep focus • Locked mode: a blocklist that's out of charge can't be edited, paused or deleted, so you can't talk yourself out of your own limits • Lock on low charge: lock your settings when you're running low, not just at zero • Low charge alerts before you run out • Mindful Launcher widget: open apps through a short breathing pause, count your pickups and cap how often you open them • Stats: see how many hours your apps stayed blocked and how much charge you never even needed • Break the Glass: once a day, unblock everything for 3 minutes when you really need it FOR DOOMSCROLLING, NOT FOR LIVING Charge is for the endless feeds, autoplay video and autopilot pickups, not for cutting off your whole phone. Reduce screen time, break the phone addiction loop and stay focused for work and study without deleting apps. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Uses Apple's Screen Time framework.
