Apps are built to hijack your attention. Solace fights back. Solace is a circuit-breaker for your digital habits. Pick the apps that steal your time, set a daily limit, and Solace pulls you out the moment you start doomscrolling. Not by tracking you, but by putting a shield between you and the feed until you choose to take a break. SEE WHO'S STEALING YOUR TIME Reports show where your day goes, which apps cost you the most, and how much you are winning back week by week. SET A LIMIT AND HOLD IT Choose your most distracting apps and a daily allowance. When it runs out, those apps are blocked until tomorrow. Need a moment? Take a short break, then Solace resumes the block automatically, even while the app is closed. FOCUS SESSIONS Start an instant session when you need to get something done, or schedule recurring sessions around your work, study, or family time. Run several at once. PROTECT YOUR SLEEP Bedtime mode limits social, entertainment, and games until morning so you get to bed on time and actually stay there. CHOOSE HOW FIRM TO BE From gentle nudges to a full lockdown. Fortress mode hands the unlock code to a trusted buddy, so loosening a limit means asking a real person. TAP A TAG TO LOCK IN Pair a physical NFC tag and tap your phone to it to block instantly — no schedule, no timer, no end time. Tap it again to unlock. Choose whether it shields everything or only your problem apps, then leave the tag in another room: getting back in means getting up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Solace uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your per-app usage is read inside a sandbox that Apple controls and never leaves your device. No ads, no data sales, no cross-app tracking. Read the full policy at solaceapp.co/privacy. SOLACE PRO Some features require a Solace Pro subscription, which starts with a 7-day free trial. Solace Pro is available monthly at $6.99 or yearly at $39.99. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
