TimeBack vs Personalized Alarm

Take your time back. TimeBack helps you cut screen time with real, enforceable blocks — not just gentle reminders. Built on Apple's Screen Time technology, it stays out of your way until the moment you need willpower most. BLOCK YOUR WAY • Daily Limits — give any app a per-day allowance; when it's spent, the app is blocked for the rest of the day • Forced Breaks — auto-pause after continuous use, so marathon sessions get a breather • Schedules — block apps during focus hours, dinner time or bedtime, on the weekdays you choose • Location Blocks — apps lock automatically when you arrive somewhere (library, office, classroom) • Your words on the wall — customize the block screen's title, message and buttons STAY HONEST • Face ID lock protects your settings • Optional guardian passcode — hand the key to someone you trust, so quitting is never one tap away • Prevent App Deletion — stops the impulsive "just delete the blocker" move (iOS applies this to all apps on the device while enabled) SEE PROGRESS • Today's usage and distraction counts at a glance • Weekly Review — a quiet Sunday summary of the time you took back PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No account, no analytics, no server. TimeBack asks for Screen Time permission to block apps — that is its only required permission. Location is requested only if you use Location Blocks. Built by an indie developer. If TimeBack helps you, you can buy me a coffee in Settings.

When the alarm sound never changes, your brain files it under "safe to ignore". The right wake-up sound is personal — and it shifts over time. Personalized Alarm picks a fresh wake-up sound each morning and learns which ones actually work for you. ■ 60 wake-up sounds 30 sounds are free, and Plus unlocks 30 more. ■ Multi-armed bandit personalization Your daily rating ("Felt good" / "Hard to wake") and an implicit signal (how soon you open the app after the alarm) feed a multi-armed bandit. Once the cold-start counter fills, the sounds that work for you start surfacing on top. ■ Rings reliably via AlarmKit Built on AlarmKit, introduced in iOS 26. It rings under Silent switch and Focus modes through the system itself — not as a background timer that quietly dies. ■ Three repeat modes Off / Once / Weekly. "Once" mirrors Apple Clock by auto-disabling after firing. In Weekly mode, each day can have its own wake time (for example, 6:30 on weekdays and 8:00 on weekends). ■ Personalized Alarm Plus (one-time purchase) Adds 30 more sounds, the learning graph (how learning progresses and best sounds), wake-time suggestions from your sleep data, Siri, and iCloud sync, and removes the banner ads. One-time purchase, no subscription, ever. ■ Privacy All learning data stays on your iPhone and is never sent to a server. No account needed. With Plus, your alarm settings sync via iCloud. ■ Requirements iOS 26.1 or later on iPhone This app is not a medical device. Do not use it to diagnose or treat sleep disorders.
