About

Eyle

Features
Read full description

Eyle does more than block distracting apps. It creates a short decision pause when you open an app on autopilot. If you genuinely need it, take timed access to only the app you choose; when time is up, the access limit returns automatically. PAUSE, DECIDE, RETURN Most tools either block everything or only count time. Eyle adds a deliberate decision point: do you want to continue, or return to what you actually meant to do? LIMIT THE APPS YOU CHOOSE Use Apple's FamilyActivityPicker to select apps, categories, or web domains. Eyle applies access limits only to your selections through Apple Screen Time. TIMED ACCESS TO ONE APP Even when several apps are limited, you can temporarily open only the app you need while every other limit stays in place. When time expires, full protection returns automatically. RETURN TO YOUR FIRST REAL-WORLD STEP While calm, define one goal and three practical steps. After the decision pause, start the first step, make it smaller if needed, and honestly record whether you began. Eyle never assigns progress or focus time that you did not confirm. FREE AND PRO Your first three app limits are free. Pro unlocks new app limits, full return history, and unlimited online plan generation when you opt in. Emergency access and restoring an active limit early are never paywalled. Apple's purchase sheet shows the current price, period, and any offer available to you. PRIVACY Eyle does not read messages, contacts, or the content of selected apps. Screen Time selections stay on your device as Apple opaque tokens. The core flow needs no account or internet connection. Online plans run only with your explicit consent.
