You'll pick up your phone 96 times today. Not because you're weak โ because you're doing it alone. time Saved is the app blocker that actually works, because it's not just you against your phone. It's you and your friends, holding each other accountable. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: 1. Create a group with up to 3 friends 2. Each person picks the apps they want to limit 3. Set daily time limits (30 min, 1 hour, whatever you choose) 4. When you hit your limit, the app is blocked 5. Need more time? Ask your group. They'll decide. That last part is what makes time Saved different. When Instagram is blocked and you're tempted to just... turn off the blocker... you can't. Not without your friends knowing. Not without asking them for permission. It's accountability that actually works. WHY GROUPS? We've all tried Screen Time. We've all set limits. And we've all ignored them 10 seconds later. The problem isn't the limits. The problem is that when it's just you, there's no one to disappoint. No one notices. No one cares. time Saved changes that. Your group sees when you're staying within limits. They see when you ask for more time. They're in it with you. Small groups (2-4 people) keep us honest, encouraged, and consistent. FEATURES: โข Block any app with daily time limits โข Create or join an accountability group โข Request extra time when you genuinely need it โข Get notified when friends need support โข See your group's activity and progress โข "Time to live your life" โ a gentle reminder when apps are blocked A subscription is required to access group creation features. time Saved offers a monthly subscription at $9.99/month.

LOCK THE APPS THAT OWN YOU Screen time apps just tell you that you spent 2 hours on TikTok, then let you keep scrolling. Scroll Limit actually locks the apps that pull you in, and gives you only 3 unlocks a day. When you hit a wall instead of an endless feed, the habit finally breaks. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you keep losing time to. Scroll Limit locks them using Apple's Screen Time. Open one and you hit a lock screen, not a feed. Want in? You get 3 unlocks a day, and each one is a deliberate choice, not a reflex. 3 LIVES A DAY You start every day with 3 unlocks. Spend one only when you really mean to. Run out and your locked apps stay locked until tomorrow. It is a hard limit you set for yourself, so being "just a little" on your phone is no longer automatic. YOUR HOME SCREEN Your locked apps sit front and center in a clean pyramid with their real icons. See your remaining unlocks at a glance on the lives banner. Tap any app to unlock it for a set time, then watch it lock itself back down. FOCUS FIRE Keep at least one unlock in reserve each day and your Focus Fire climbs a level. Burn all three and it drops. Rise through 8 tiers, from Spark to Eternal, by holding back day after day. It is a streak that rewards restraint, not just showing up. UNLOCK CHALLENGE Unlocking is never one tap. A quick challenge stands between you and the app, just enough friction to make you pause and ask if you really need it. FOCUS SESSIONS Need to lock in? Start a focus session and block all your apps for a set time. Choose your difficulty: Easy: cancel anytime with an exit challenge Medium: harder exit challenges Deep Focus: no cancelling until the timer runs out SCHEDULES Set recurring locked blocks around your routine. Morning Focus locks apps from 6 to 9 AM. Work Mode keeps you off social during business hours. Evening Wind Down disconnects you before bed. Build your own with flexible day and time selection. PRIVACY FIRST All your data stays on your device. Scroll Limit uses Apple's privacy-preserving Screen Time API. We never see which apps you use or how long you use them. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Download Scroll Limit and lock the apps that own you. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
