DigiBound vs Sanctum

One more video can turn into another hour. DigiBound helps you put your phone down at bedtime, limit distracting apps on a schedule, and make room for sleep and the rest of life. 【MY RESULT WITH DIGIBOUND】 A note from the maker: I built DigiBound after struggling with my own late-night scrolling. Since using it, I spend about 2 hours and 30 minutes less each day on social media and short videos. I now put my phone down before 11 p.m. and sleep about an hour longer at night. 【MY IPHONE SCREEN TIME】 In the iPhone Screen Time records shown in the screenshots, my daily average fell from 18h 22m to around 9 hours. If late-night scrolling sounds familiar, give DigiBound a try and see if it helps you put your phone down sooner. 【BLOCK THE APPS YOU CHOOSE】 Select the apps, categories, or websites that keep pulling you back. DigiBound limits only what you choose—not your entire phone. 【PUT YOUR NIGHTS ON AUTOPILOT】 Set your bedtime, wake time, and days once. Sleep Lock applies your limits on schedule, even when DigiBound isn’t open, and removes them when the scheduled window ends. Overnight schedules are supported. If tonight is different, skip just this occurrence; your future schedule stays in place. 【PAUSE BEFORE ENDING A LOCK】 If you try to end Sleep Lock early, DigiBound offers a one-minute breathing pause—a chance to reconsider before a quick check turns into another late night. 【FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS】 Start a saved Focus mode when it’s time to work, exercise, meditate, or study. Choose what to limit and how long to focus, then give that time to what you meant to do. 【SEE YOUR FOCUS ADD UP】 Set a daily goal and follow your completed sessions and focus time. Review your weekly progress inside DigiBound. The screen-time chart in the screenshots comes from my own iPhone Screen Time records, not DigiBound’s focus report. FREE AND PRO Free includes a repeating automatic Sleep Lock schedule and one Focus session every 24 hours. Pro adds three bedtime routines for different days of the week, unlimited Focus sessions, and Sleep Lock history for the past 7 or 30 days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. DigiBound asks for Apple Screen Time permission when you enable restrictions. It uses privacy-protected selection tokens and does not upload the names of the apps or websites you select. Sleep Lock history does not measure how long you actually slept. Pro is optional. Prices, billing periods, and trial eligibility are shown on the App Store purchase screen. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or canceled through the App Store. Terms of Use: https://digital-detox.indieer.top/legal/terms-of-use/en.html

Two months. That's what four hours of screen time a day costs you every year. Sanctum sets you free. Press start and your phone locks. No pause. No snooze. No "five more minutes." There is no button that lets you back in. Most app blockers leave an easy back door. A skip. An "extra time" unlock. So the scroll always wins, because it always can, in one tap. Sanctum has no quick exit. Leaving early takes a short mindful practice first. Weakness is never one tap away. WHY THE COMMITMENT MATTERS Willpower fails when you need it most. Cutting screen time is a decision your phone makes you re-take every minute. Sanctum moves the choice to before you start, then holds the line. HOW IT WORKS Choose a duration. Press start. Sanctum will block apps system-wide until the timer runs out. Leaving early means completing a short reflection first, and by then the urge has usually passed. No categories, no decisions once you begin. Need one app for a few minutes? Unblock it: it opens, the timer runs, and the app blocker comes back on its own. It is the simplest way to block apps you will ever use. BLOCK APPS ON AUTOPILOT Beyond one-off locks, Sanctum can block apps and cut screen time on its own: - Schedules. Block apps automatically on the days and hours you choose. Work mornings, study blocks, sleep. - Daily App Limits. Set app limits that cap screen time on the apps you pick. Shared budget or one each. When the time runs out, they close until midnight. SOCIAL MEDIA SCREEN TIME, HANDLED Social media is engineered to beat your willpower. Block social media for an hour, put social media behind daily app limits, and your screen time falls without a fight. BUILD BETTER PHONE HABITS Every lock you finish and every urge you resist scores five traits: Stillness, Discipline, Restraint, Grounding and Breath. Watch them rise as your screen time falls. WHEN AN URGE HITS Reach for a blocked app and Sanctum meets you with a moment, not a wall: a short practice. Sit in stillness, breathe it out, walk it off, or write the urge down and watch it burn. By the time it is done the pull is usually gone, and the stress with it. YOU'RE NEVER TRAPPED Calls, the camera and the essential system apps iOS protects keep working, so you can reach someone anytime. Sanctum adds friction to a habit, never a lock on your life. BEAUTIFUL LIVING THEMES Sanctum is built to be experienced. New immersive scenes arrive regularly, each one transporting you into a living natural world, with a large ambient clock that helps calm the mind. Lock your screen time and your phone becomes a beautiful desk clock with calming sleep sounds, not a thing to escape. WHO IT'S FOR - Anyone whose focus is stolen by social media and doomscrolling - ADHD and executive-function struggles, where "just put it down" never works - Anyone whose screen time keeps climbing no matter which app blocker they try PRIVATE BY DESIGN Offline-first and ad-free.
