Intentional vs Spiral

Your phone takes hours from you every day. Intentional gives them back. Instead of blocking your apps, Intentional adds one simple step — a brief pause before you open them. That moment is enough to break the autopilot and put you back in control. Pick the apps that waste your time. Set a time limit. Use them on your terms. When your session ends, they lock again — no willpower required. Features include game mode during countdowns, session reminders, background enforcement, and a clean distraction-free design. Subscription required for core app features. The average person spends over 4 hours a day on their phone. Intentional can help you reclaim over 400 of those hours this year.

Smart screen time limits that actually work. You meant to check one thing. Forty minutes later, you're still scrolling. That's the spiral, and willpower alone rarely breaks it. Spiral does it for you. Most screen time apps fail for the same reasons: they block everything all for hours, they're trivial to bypass, or they nag you with reminders you swipe away. Spiral is built differently, it works with you not against to help limit your doomscrolling. Set zones across your day Instead of rigid all-day blocks, Spiral works in zones. Give yourself a 30-minute budget for social apps in the morning. Hard-block everything after 10pm. Leave the afternoon free. Your limits flex around your real life - work, downtime, sleep - instead of fighting it. Pick the apps that pull you in Choose exactly which apps to limit - Instagram, TikTok, X, whatever you find most distracting. Everything else stays untouched. Get a heads-up before you hit the wall Spiral warns you with notifications as you approach your limit, so nothing comes out of nowhere. You stay aware of your time without having to think about it. A real lock, not a speed bump When you hit your limit, Spiral's shield steps in and actually locks the app until your zone ends. No "are you sure?" that you tap straight through. No five-minute snooze that turns into an hour. A limit that holds. Build a streak worth keeping Every day you keep Spiral active builds your streak. The longer it grows, the more you have to lose by turning it off, a simple, powerful reason to stick with it. See how long you can keep Spiral active. Private by design Spiral runs entirely on Apple's Screen Time framework. Your app usage never leaves your phone. No VPN. No proxy. No servers collecting your data. No account required. What you do on your phone stays on your phone. Why Spiral works when others didn't – Zones that match your day instead of blocking everything – Enforcement that actually holds at your limit – 60-second setup, no complicated shortcuts or profiles – Built natively on Apple Screen Time - no hacky workarounds – Designed to step in, not to shame you If you've tried screen time apps before and given up, Spiral is the one built to hold you to it.
