You open your phone to check one thing. Before you know it, you’ve spent another half hour scrolling. SloMo helps you take back control of your screen time. Block distracting apps and unlock them by moving a little, or set a time lock when you need to focus. Small changes, at your own pace. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Choose the apps that pull you away from what you want to do. Group several apps under one rule and decide how you’ll unlock them. MOVE TO UNLOCK Earn your next scroll with push-ups, squats, pull-ups, steps, or a distance challenge. Set your goal, complete it, and unlock the apps covered by that rule. Camera-assisted exercise counting and step tracking help you follow your progress. MAKE ROOM FOR FOCUS Studying, working, or taking a break from your phone? Set a Time Lock for a fixed duration or until a chosen time. Start now or create a repeating schedule that fits your routine. CHECK YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE Follow active Time Lock countdowns with Live Activities and widgets on supported iOS versions. See step and distance progress on your Lock Screen during challenges. UNDERSTAND YOUR SCREEN TIME See your daily app usage, most-used apps, and weekly comparisons. Notice where your time goes and choose which habits you want to change. BUILD A STREAK Completed workouts and Time Locks both count toward your daily streak. Look back at your history, track your personal best, and keep building on small wins. SHARE YOUR WINS Share workout unlocks, Time Lock progress, and weekly recaps as cards on your socials or in a group chat. Choose whether app names appear on individual result cards. GET STARTED WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Core features work offline. Your rules, workout history, and fitness stats stay on your device. Camera images are processed on your device and are never recorded, stored, or uploaded. SloMo is free and supported by ads. It uses basic app-open analytics, and ad privacy choices are available in Settings where applicable. Requires iOS 16 or later. Live Activities require iOS 16.2 or later. Screen Time access is required for app blocking and usage reports. Camera, motion, and Health permissions are requested for features that use them. Less scrolling. More living.
