Eclipse is a screen time control and app blocker that works without relying on your willpower. Grayscale scheduling and intentional app blocking make your phone a harder place to lose yourself in. Less sensory reward, less easy access, fewer wasted hours. Your phone is engineered to hold your attention. Every color, notification, and scroll is designed to bring you back. Eclipse works against that. Features: • Scheduled grayscale during your focus hours • App blocking to cut social media and distraction • Recurring focus blocks for work, study, or evenings • Break controls when you need flexibility • Weekly screen time insights to track your habits Eclipse uses Screen Time permissions and requires a short one-time setup. Free trial available. Premium features including grayscale schedules, app blocking, and weekly insights require an auto-renewing subscription. It's design, not discipline.
