Keep your apps. Lose the autopilot. Balance Buddy helps you cut down on doomscrolling, brainrot and automatic social media use — without forcing you to delete the apps you enjoy. Choose how much time you want to spend on distracting apps and when you want them out of the way. Then choose someone you trust as your Balance Buddy. You set the limits. Your Buddy holds the key. When you reach a boundary and genuinely need more time, you can request it from your Buddy. They can approve or decline through a secure link — they don’t need to install Balance Buddy. BUILD YOUR OWN BALANCE Set Daily Limits for how much time you want to spend on selected apps. Use Focus Hours to protect parts of your day like work, studying, mornings, evenings or bedtime. INTERRUPT AUTOPILOT When a protected app is blocked, Balance Buddy gives you a moment to reconsider before continuing instead of letting another automatic check turn into a long scroll. ADD ACCOUNTABILITY Limits are easy to set when motivation is high. Balance Buddy can make weakening those limits a decision you don’t make alone. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS See your Screen Time and recent usage so you can compare how you intended to use your phone with how you actually use it. Social media can still have a place in your life. You just get to decide what that place is.
