About

Aergia

Read full description

Aergia is a screen time control app that helps you stop getting distracted and start using your iPhone more intentionally. By adding a short pause before opening selected apps, Aergia gives you a moment to reflect and decide whether you really want to open the distracting app. Instead of fully blocking apps, Aergia uses gentle friction with a protective screen that helps you stay mindful and in control of your screen time. In the free version of Aergia, you can select only one distracting app. In the paid version, you can select an unlimited number of apps. The settings let you choose the wait time in seconds before opening an app, as well as a grace period during which you can use the selected app without interruption. Strict Mode allows you to apply stronger limits with fewer bypass options when you need maximum focus. Aergia also lets you track app usage with daily statistics and a 7-day overview for each monitored app. Aergia is designed for focus, productivity, and building healthier digital habits without completely restricting access to your apps. Whether you're studying, working, or trying to stay present, small intentional pauses help reduce distractions and support deeper focus. Privacy All your screen time data stays on your device. Aergia does not collect, sell, or share your data. Privacy Policy: https://manager108.com/en/aergia/privacy-policy Terms of Service: https://manager108.com/en/aergia/terms-and-conditions

Screen Time Log

PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Log your screen time by hand — and finally notice it. ScreenTimeLog is a manual screen time diary: after a scroll session you open the app, log the minutes, tag the category, and note how you felt. No automatic tracking, no blocking, no judgment — just the honest act of writing it down. That act is the whole point. Automatic trackers count minutes you never look at. Writing "45 min Ā· Social Ā· felt drained" with your own thumb is a mindfulness practice — and it is the moment your habits start to change. Because every entry carries a mood, ScreenTimeLog can show you the one chart no automatic report has: whether your heavy phone days actually feel worse. WHAT YOU GET • Open the app and see today at a glance — 2h 14m logged, 3 entries, and a day streak you will not want to break • A donut of where the day really went — Social, Streaming, Games, Productivity, Reading — so "I was busy" becomes "I scrolled for 90 minutes" • A mood on every entry, from Drained to Refreshed, feeding a scatter chart of mood vs screen time with a plain-language verdict on your pattern • Daily limits per category with a live bar that turns amber at 80% and red when you blow past it • Detox goals like "Screen-free dinner" or "No phone first hour", with weekly targets and screen-free streaks • A gentle reminder at the hour you choose, so the diary actually gets written every evening PERFECT FOR • Anyone who has seen the built-in weekly screen time report, winced for ten seconds, and changed nothing • People running a digital detox or 7-day social media detox who want a written record, not another blocker • Journalers who want phone habits and mood in one private place • Anyone who suspects doomscrolling drags their mood down — and wants proof either way WHY NOT JUST USE THE BUILT-IN REPORT? Because passive numbers do not change behavior. The OS tells you a total on Sunday; a diary makes you face each session the day it happens. And no automatic report knows how you felt, lets you set a "Screen-free dinner" goal, or shows whether your worst-mood days are your heaviest-scroll days. Manual is not a limitation here — it is the method. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your diary stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no analytics on your entries. What you log is nobody's business but yours. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) ScreenTimeLog Pro unlocks unlimited category limits, unlimited detox goals, the full Insights tab — trends, category breakdown, and mood-vs-screen-time correlation — plus CSV export of your entire log. Pro is available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Tonight, before bed, log today's minutes. That one honest entry is where less screen time starts.
