ctrl vs demora

You're losing 4+ hours a day to your phone. That's 60 full days every year—gone forever. ctrl-time helps you take them back. WHAT MAKES CTRL-TIME DIFFERENT Most screen time apps shame you with numbers. ctrl-time does something different: it shows you what those numbers actually mean for your life. Every minute wasted is a minute you'll never get back. Every minute saved is a minute you can spend on what truly matters. YOUR LIFE IN WEEKS Inspired by Stoic philosophy, the Life in Weeks grid shows your entire existence at a glance—4,160 weeks, each represented by a single dot. The filled dots are weeks you've already lived. The empty ones are all you have left. It's not meant to scare you. It's meant to wake you up. - See exactly what percentage of your life you've lived - Tap any week to explore what you did (or didn't do) - Export the grid as your iPhone wallpaper - A daily reminder that your time is not infinite FOCUS MODE — BLOCK DISTRACTIONS One tap. Zero willpower needed. ctrl-time uses Apple's native Screen Time integration to block the apps that steal your attention. Choose sessions from 15 to 120 minutes and watch the distractions disappear. - Block Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and any time-wasting app - Native iOS integration—no workarounds or hacks - Live Activities show your timer on Dynamic Island MINUTES RECLAIMED — YOUR NEW KPI Every focus session gives you back precious minutes. ctrl-time tracks them all, showing you exactly how much life you've reclaimed. Watch the counter grow. Those aren't just numbers—that's time you've taken back from the algorithm.

most screen-time apps work with a password that either you or someone else knows. both come with problems: one is easily overridden, the other makes limits practically unmodifiable—which means trips, emergencies or any special occasion is blocked behind a password. demora doesn't ask for a password. it works on the principle of long-term thinking. it trusts your past self over your current self. plan for the future—the present locked by the past. but demora knows plans change—emergencies happen, so it has optional overrides (off by default, delay-gated) that can skip the delay set by the user. have a friend approve changes or do a couple of math problems—whatever works for you. you can always change your rules. just never in the moment. what - daily time limits per app or group. - schedules — daily, by weekday, or monthly. - one-off planned windows for special events. block or allow more — your choice. - optional overrides: math problems, a password, or a trusted person who approves your request by email or from their own demora. all off by default; all require waiting to turn on. - option to disable uninstalling apps. - free: no fees, subscriptions, or data collection. won't - no accounts, no ads, no analytics. - your app choices and usage never leave your device — apple's screen time framework keeps them invisible even to us. - only the optional trusted-contact requests you choose to send ever touch a server — and those approval codes are hashed and expire in minutes. - no fees and no subscriptions. demora is free. how if demora is free, how does it make money? it doesn't. demora is a passion project — we made something we wished existed and made it free for everyone. it was never meant to be a source of income. demora won't give you discipline. it just makes sure the version of you who set the rules is stronger than the impulse-driven you.
