Apps are built to hijack your attention. Solace fights back. Solace is a circuit-breaker for your digital habits. Pick the apps that steal your time, set a daily limit, and Solace pulls you out the moment you start doomscrolling. Not by tracking you, but by putting a shield between you and the feed until you choose to take a break. SEE WHO'S STEALING YOUR TIME Reports show where your day goes, which apps cost you the most, and how much you are winning back week by week. SET A LIMIT AND HOLD IT Choose your most distracting apps and a daily allowance. When it runs out, those apps are blocked until tomorrow. Need a moment? Take a short break, then Solace resumes the block automatically, even while the app is closed. FOCUS SESSIONS Start an instant session when you need to get something done, or schedule recurring sessions around your work, study, or family time. Run several at once. PROTECT YOUR SLEEP Bedtime mode limits social, entertainment, and games until morning so you get to bed on time and actually stay there. CHOOSE HOW FIRM TO BE From gentle nudges to a full lockdown. Fortress mode hands the unlock code to a trusted buddy, so loosening a limit means asking a real person. TAP A TAG TO LOCK IN Pair a physical NFC tag and tap your phone to it to block instantly — no schedule, no timer, no end time. Tap it again to unlock. Choose whether it shields everything or only your problem apps, then leave the tag in another room: getting back in means getting up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Solace uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your per-app usage is read inside a sandbox that Apple controls and never leaves your device. No ads, no data sales, no cross-app tracking. Read the full policy at solaceapp.co/privacy. SOLACE PRO Some features require a Solace Pro subscription, which starts with a 7-day free trial. Solace Pro is available monthly at $6.99 or yearly at $39.99. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

Stop doomscrolling, your way. Block an app completely, limit it, make yourself earn it, or shrink it down to just the parts you need. Free to use. Most blockers give you one switch: on or off. Real life doesn't work like that. You need Maps at work, messages at night, and nothing at all during an exam. WiredIN gives you four ways to take back your time, and lets you pick how hard each app gets locked. FOUR WAYS TO STOP THE SCROLL Block: shut out the apps and websites that pull you away, from a gentle nudge to Extreme, where quitting early is genuinely hard. Limit: give an app a daily budget, in minutes or in opens. Five opens a day hits differently than thirty minutes. Earn it: each open costs a breath, a quick check-in about why you're reaching for it, or something small you learn first. Most reaches end right there. Shrink it: open a stripped-down version of your social apps. Messages stay. The endless feed doesn't. IT RUNS ITSELF The moment you most need a blocker is the moment you're least likely to open one. So WiredIN doesn't wait for you. Routines: a study block every weekday, a Night Shield for the 1am scroll, on the days and hours you choose. Focus Zones: pin the library, your office or your desk. Walk in and your apps lock. Walk out and they come back. One tap from anywhere: widgets and a Control Center button start a session without opening the app. WHO IT'S FOR Students who open a textbook and end up on their phone 40 minutes later Builders and deep workers who need hours, not minutes Night scrollers who meant to sleep an hour ago Anyone who has deleted an app, redownloaded it, and deleted it again STAY WITH IT Focus Rooms: lock in alongside friends in real time Streaks and weekly challenges that turn focus into a habit Stats that show where your time went and which blocks held FREE, FOR GOOD Every focus mode, one Focus Zone, two routines at once, one app limit, three focus recipes and your last 7 days of stats. WIREDIN PRO, $0.99 A MONTH OR $3.99 ONCE Unlimited zones, routines, limits and recipes, the Earn It and Shrink It styles, and every stats range with insights on when you focus best. PRIVATE BY DESIGN WiredIN is built on Apple's Screen Time, so blocked apps are stopped by iOS itself and blocked websites are filtered in every browser. The apps you choose never leave your iPhone: iOS gives WiredIN an unreadable token, not a list of what you use. Your location is checked on your phone and never sent or stored. Nothing on your Home Screen is ever moved or removed. Your phone should work for you. Get your hours back. WiredIN Pro is $0.99 a month with a 7 day free trial through Apple, or $3.99 once for life. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings.
