Earn screen time to save 2h+ each day. Screenguard is a fun, simple way to limit screen time by earning it back through real-life tasks. Before you open a distracting app, Screenguard helps you pause, choose how much time you actually need, and stay in control. Instead of just blocking apps, Screenguard lets you earn screen time by completing simple tasks like moving your body, going outside, studying, reading, and building a better routine. Less endless scrolling. More time doing things that actually make you feel good. How it works: Pick the apps you want to guard, then earn coins by completing tasks in real life.
