YourPriority
Read full descriptionHide full description
Quit doomscrolling and spend your time on what matters to you. YourPriority pauses the apps you scroll too much and reminds you of your priorities instead. 2 HOURS A DAY IS 30 DAYS A YEAR Two hours of scrolling every day adds up to about 30 full days a year. YourPriority helps you take that time back for the things you really want to do. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you scroll the most, like Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. 2. Set a break or a block. For example: after 20 minutes of scrolling, those apps pause for 10 minutes. 3. When you open a paused or blocked app, you see a reminder of your priorities, not the feed. DOOM SCROLL BREAKS After the minutes you choose, your picked apps pause for a short break. Then they open again by themselves. You can still use your phone. You just stop scrolling for a while. BLOCKS Block an app all day, at certain hours (like bedtime or work time), or after a daily limit. To remove a block, you wait 20 seconds first, so you have a moment to think. YOUR TOP PRIORITY Add your to-dos for the day. Your most important one sits at the top of the Today screen. Add steps, times, reminders and repeating to-dos. NOTES Write down ideas, lists and plans. Notes save as you type. ALSO ⢠Morning and evening reminders to plan your day ⢠See your screen time each week ⢠Time = money: see what your scrolling costs, in your own currency ON MAC TOO Get the free Mac app at yourpriority.app. It blocks distracting websites in Safari, Chrome, Arc, Brave and Edge. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone. WHY I MADE IT I'm Tanjil. I was spending 6 to 8 hours a day on my phone. Screen Time limits were easy to skip, and other apps only locked my apps. So I built an app that shows me what matters when I open a blocked app. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL PRO Blocks, Doom Scroll Breaks, to-dos and notes are free, with no limits. YourPriority Pro adds iCloud sync, so your to-dos and notes stay the same on your iPhone and Mac. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://yourpriority.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://yourpriority.app/privacy
