Lento puts one calm breath between you and the apps and websites that pull you in. Pick the apps and sites you open without thinking and give each one a daily budget of opens. When you reach for one, Lento's shield asks for a short guided breath first. Then you choose how long you need, and when the time is up, it locks again on its own. No bans and no guilt. Just a pause long enough to decide. HOW IT WORKS โ€ข Guard an app or a website: choose it with Apple's Screen Time picker. โ€ข Meet the shield: opening a guarded app or site shows how many opens you have left today. โ€ข Breathe: tap Breathe and follow Lento's glowing orb through a 15-second breath. โ€ข Choose your time: 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes, and it opens. โ€ข It locks again: when the session ends, it rests again, even if Lento is closed. A DAILY BUDGET OF OPENS Decide how many times a day each app is worth it. Six is a good start, and your opens refill at midnight. Out of opens? You can still get in, but the breath is three times longer and the open counts as over budget. WEBSITES, TOO Guard the sites you visit in Safari, on their own or together with their app on one budget. A category guard covers its websites as well. SEE THE TIME YOU WIN BACK Insights shows the time you've won back, your opens and your clear days, week by week and month by month. Home keeps your streak of clear days, and Profile a year of them. SEVEN-DAY CHALLENGES Clear Mornings, Calm Evenings, Seven Clear Days, Short Sessions and Halve It: one rule for seven days, one challenge at a time. A missed day doesn't end it, and keeping all seven days earns its badge. YOUR RULES FOR EACH APP Every guarded app or website has its own daily opens, session lengths and breath, from 5 to 60 seconds. Give it a nickname, change its rules, or remove it from Lento whenever you like. GENTLE REMINDERS A quiet "1 minute left" and "Time's up", so a session never runs on unnoticed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Lento is built on Apple's Screen Time framework. Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone, and the apps and websites you choose reach Lento as private tokens: not even Lento can tell which they are. Insights and challenges are worked out on your iPhone from the opens Lento counts. No account and no ads. Anonymous usage analytics help improve Lento, and you can turn them off in Profile. LENTO PRO Lento is free with one guarded app or website, and Insights and Challenges are free for everyone. Lento Pro lets you guard up to 20 apps and websites, each with its own budget. โ€ข Yearly, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or monthly. โ€ข Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
