The average person will spend more than 10 years of their life staring at a phone. ScreenFine is how you take some of it back. Most screen time apps are easy to ignore. You watch the timer tick, tap "ignore for 15 minutes," and nothing changes. ScreenFine actually stops you. Go over your daily limit and the apps you chose lock shut. The only way back in is real effort: 25 pushups, 25 squats, 1,000 steps, a logged workout, or 10 mindful minutes. Your body clears the block, not your wallet. And an AI villain roasts every slip. No willpower required. The consequence does the work. HOW IT WORKS - Set your daily screen time limit, anywhere from 1 to 8 hours - Cross it and your chosen apps shield closed at the system level - Earn the unlock with 25 pushups, 25 squats, 1,000 steps, a workout, or 10 mindful minutes - Miss the window and it counts as a slip you can see, never a charge - 7 days free, then $1 a week. The subscription is the only thing you ever pay. BEAT PHONE ADDICTION FOR REAL Other blockers are a suggestion you can swipe past. ScreenFine locks at the OS level using Apple Screen Time, so going over carries a real consequence and stopping the scroll finally sticks. Built for doomscrolling, dopamine detox, focus, digital wellbeing, and self control, and friendly for ADHD brains that need a firmer stop than a banner. MEET YOUR AI VILLAIN Pick a character who roasts you every time you slip. The Banker counts your losses. The Reaper reminds you time is finite. The Ex judges in silence. The Coach pushes harder. Personal, savage messages, served on your lock screen. REAL ACCOUNTABILITY - OS level app shielding blocks your worst apps when you are over - Choose exactly which apps to lock with Apple's family activity picker - Wall of Shame shows your slips to other users when you opt in - Partner mode lets someone you trust see your stats - Squad mode brings group accountability with friends FOCUS SESSIONS Lock your phone for timed challenges. Finish sessions to earn credits and unlock perks. Great for deep work, study, and better sleep. SMART TRACKING - Apple Screen Time for accurate, real time usage - Per app breakdown shows exactly where your time goes - A weekly AI coach turns your patterns into plain advice - Heatmaps and trends so progress is easy to see WHO IT IS FOR Anyone fighting doomscrolling, a short attention span, or a phone habit that beats their willpower. If timers and "ignore" buttons have never worked, ScreenFine gives you the hard stop they cannot. PRICING - Free: screen time tracking only - $1 a week: full enforcement, AI villain, app shielding, Wall of Shame, weekly reports - Billed weekly through Apple. Cancel any time. 7-day free trial. You can pause anytime from Settings, which stops new blocks right away. Terms of Use (EULA): https://screenfine.info/terms Privacy Policy: https://screenfine.info/privacy
