Every screen time app punishes you for scrolling. EarlyRise is different. Instead of blocking you, it gives you a simple challenge: do one small real-world task, and earn your scroll time. That 5-second pause is all it takes to be intentional about your phone use — no shame, no hard stops, just you deciding how your time gets spent. How it works: Before opening Instagram, TikTok, or any social app, EarlyRise intercepts the launch with a quick task. Each task on your list is worth a set amount of scroll time — drink a glass of water and earn 10 minutes, do 10 pushups and earn 20 minutes. Work through your task list and your earned scroll time adds up. Complete them all and your phone is yours — no guilt, no shame. What makes EarlyRise different: • Positive reinforcement, not punishment • Earn your scroll time instead of having it taken away • Build real-world micro-habits effortlessly • Track your streak and time reclaimed • Feel proud of your phone habits for the first time Free to download. Upgrade to Premium for $2.99/month, or save with an annual plan at $19.99/year.

About

Khalas Stop Scrolling

Read full description

Khalas (خلاص — "enough") is a Screen Time blocker for people who open Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, or X without deciding to. Not a parental control app. Not a Pomodoro timer. Khalas gives you one honest daily allowance across the apps that eat your time, and steps in — calmly, not with guilt — when it's gone. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps, categories, or websites that pull you in. • Set one shared daily allowance: 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. • When it's used up, Khalas blocks those apps until tomorrow. • Add a Sleep block and a Work block for the hours you don't want to be tempted at all. • Need five more minutes? Say why, wait through a short pause, then decide. Khalas adds friction, not judgment. BUILT ON APPLE SCREEN TIME Khalas runs entirely on Apple's own Screen Time framework (Family Controls). Your app selections and usage never leave your device — Khalas can't see which apps you picked or how you use them. BUILT FOR THE GULF, NOT TRANSLATED FOR IT Khalas was designed first for Saudi Arabia and the GCC: full Arabic support, true right-to-left layout, and a tone that's direct without shaming you. It works just as well in English. WHAT MAKES KHALAS DIFFERENT • One shared allowance across all your distracting apps — not app-by-app limits to negotiate with. • A five-minute override with a real pause and a reason, not an easy "Remind Me Later." • Sleep and Work blocks that run automatically, with no daily setup. • A calm, confident interruption — not a lecture. Khalas includes a 7-day free trial, then continues as Khalas Pro (monthly or annual). Cancel anytime in Settings. Enough scrolling. Take your time back.
