The average person spends more than two hours a day scrolling feeds — and remembers almost none of it. That isn't a willpower problem. Your feeds are engineered by teams of thousands to be impossible to close, so a one-tap screen-time limit never stood a chance. Sharp breaks the loop — not by slamming a door, but by making a trade. Set a daily limit on the apps that eat your time. The moment you hit it, Sharp steps in with a 90-second briefing on what's actually happening in the world — then a quick quiz. Pass it, and your apps unlock. The same urge that used to open Instagram now leaves you a little sharper. Stop scrolling. Start knowing. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps to guard and set your daily limit. That's the whole setup. - Hit the limit and Sharp shows a calm block screen instead of your feed. - Read a fast, curated briefing — finance, tech, world — tuned to your interests. - Pass a five-question quiz and your apps unlock. Your streak grows. WHY SHARP IS DIFFERENT - Automatic. Powered by Apple Screen Time — no Shortcuts, no workarounds, nothing to remember. - A reward, not a punishment. Every session ends in XP, a growing streak, and your league rank — small wins that make tomorrow easier. - Fresh every single day. New briefings daily, so it never goes stale the way trivia apps do. - Better with friends. Share a code, land in the same weekly league of 30, and let a little rivalry keep your streak alive. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - Your Screen Time and app choices never leave your device. - No ads. No tracking across other apps. We never sell your data. - A self-control tool for your own phone — not parental controls, not monitoring. Be the person who actually knows what's going on — and get your time back doing it.
