GoalsFirst blocks distracting apps until you earn screen time with your Apple Watch activity rings. Choose the apps and categories you want to use more intentionally. As your Move, Exercise, and Stand rings fill, GoalsFirst turns your activity into screen-time minutes you can use today. Move first. Scroll later. GoalsFirst is built for people who have tried app limits, screen time blockers, focus timers, and digital detox apps but still end up tapping β€œIgnore Limit.” Instead of setting a limit you can override, GoalsFirst gives you a simple daily rule: earn your screen time before you use it. Use GoalsFirst to: - Block distracting apps and categories - Earn screen time from Move, Exercise, and Stand progress - Limit social media, games, browsers, and other time sinks - See earned time, used time, and remaining time for today - Customize how much screen time each activity ring can earn - Build a healthier relationship with scrolling - Replace guilt scrolling with earned minutes GoalsFirst uses Apple Screen Time permissions to shield selected apps and Health access to read your activity ring progress. You choose what to block, how much time you can earn, and when to update your plan. If you want a screen time blocker that works with your body instead of your willpower, GoalsFirst helps you move first and scroll later. ----- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
