Pact vs Screen Time Control

Pact helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone by adding intentional friction to distracting apps. HOW IT WORKS Select apps you want to limit. Start a focus session or set usage limits. When you try to open blocked apps, complete a quick puzzle first. The small pause helps you decide: do I really need this right now? FOCUS SESSIONS Block distracting apps for 15 minutes to 4 hours. Perfect for deep work, studying, or quality time with family. USAGE LIMITS Automatically shield apps after 15 minutes of daily use. Complete a puzzle to unlock 15 more minutes. Difficulty increases with each unlock and resets at midnight. EARN KEYS Earn 1 key for every 15 minutes of focus time. Use keys to skip puzzles when you really need access. Build a balance of keys as a reward for staying focused. WHY PACT? Unlike harsh blockers that frustrate you, Pact creates a mindful pause. The puzzle isn't punishment—it's a moment to reflect on your intention. Most people find that by the time they finish the puzzle, they no longer want to open the app. PRIVACY FIRST Your app choices are protected by Apple's Screen Time framework and never leave your device—we can't see which apps you block or what you do on your phone. No account required. We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app, and nothing is ever sold or shared. PACT PRO Block unlimited apps for free.

Pause helps you scroll on purpose. Lowers your screen time. We all reach for the same apps on autopilot. Pause puts a small, calming puzzle between you and those apps, so opening one becomes a choice, not a reflex. HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps you want to pause. • When you try to open one, Pause asks you to solve a quick puzzle first. • Solve it, and the app unlocks for 15 minutes of intentional use. • When time's up, the pause comes back automatically. That tiny moment of friction is enough to break the autopilot—and remind you why you picked up your phone in the first place. NINE CALMING PUZZLES Word Jumble, Mini Crossword, Sliding Tile, Ball Sort, Connect the Colors, Maze, Sixdoku, and more. Every unlock is a small mental reset instead of a mindless tap. DESIGNED FOR INTENTION, NOT RESTRICTION Pause isn't about locking yourself out—it's about adding just enough space to choose. No guilt, no lectures. Just a gentle pause.
