A focus app that doesn't ask nicely. Lock the apps that own you, then walk away. Pick a one-time block, or a routine that runs itself. Want out before the routine ends? Earn it: a 10-second hold, then a 5-minute lockout. Friction beats willpower. PICK YOUR POISON • Block any app, category, or website on iOS • One-time blocks from 15 minutes to 24 hours • Recurring routines configured by weekday and time window • Multi-day schedules. Mornings before work, evenings before bed, study hours, sleep time A WEEK ON AUTOPILOT Routines run themselves. No daily decisions, no negotiating. The doomscroll dies on a schedule you set when you meant it. NO TAKEBACKS Hold to break for 10 seconds. Then a 5-minute lockout before the routine actually deactivates. Built for the version of you that committed when you set the block. Not the version of you scrolling at 2am. QUIETLY TAKE IT BACK Track the hours you reclaimed. No streaks to protect. No nudges. No badges. No bullshit. Just the time back on the clock. PRIVACY FIRST Blocking is enforced on-device through Apple's Screen Time framework.

Your phone fills up one small download at a time. The parking app from a city you left. The airline from one trip. The game you stopped playing. Fewer Apps helps you see what you still use and make a clear decision about everything else. Fewer Apps uses Apple Screen Time, with your permission, to sort the apps you select into three simple groups: untouched, barely used, and earning their place. You get 30 days of evidence instead of a guess. REVIEW (free) - Choose the apps and categories you want to review. - See how many were untouched in the last 30 days. - Compare time used, days used, latest activity, and notifications. REMOVE (free) Review focused recommendations and follow the exact iPhone steps to delete an app. You make every deletion yourself. Fewer Apps never removes another app. HIBERNATION (one-time unlock) Not ready to delete something? Put it into Hibernation first. The app stays installed and in place, but opening it shows a deliberate choice: Let it sleep or Wake it. Fewer Apps safely applies large selections in groups of 50. After 14 uninterrupted days of confirmed observation without an opening attempt, the app becomes Ready to Remove. An opening attempt or Keep hibernating restarts that 14-day clock. Nothing is deleted automatically, and you can wake an app at any time. HISTORY (one-time unlock) See what you hibernated, woke, and removed, with dates and running totals. The history stays on your phone. PAY ONCE. FEWER APPS FOREVER. One purchase unlocks Hibernation and History for good. No subscription. Review and Remove stay free. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE All usage analysis happens on-device inside Apple's Screen Time sandbox. Fewer Apps has no analytics or account service, and its code sends no usage data anywhere. Fewer Apps collects nothing, tracks nothing, and shows no ads. Fewer Apps requires iOS 17 and Screen Time permission, which you grant on-device. Deleting apps on iOS is always done by you; Fewer Apps shows the way and keeps the score.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Fewer Apps at none against Uninstall's shown. Uninstall's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
