Frogi locks the apps you overuse and only lets them go once you complete a mission: push-ups, squats, a walk and more. Pick the apps that eat your day, like Instagram or TikTok, then set a daily limit and choose your missions. Go over the limit and Frogi, a little green frog, catches the app. WHAT YOU CAN SET • A daily maximum, like an hour of Instagram or ten minutes of news • Or a break every so often, for the apps you dip into all day • A different way back in for each rule WAYS BACK IN • Push-ups, counted on device by the camera • Shake the phone, for when you are standing in a queue • Walk a distance you choose, counted while the phone is in your pocket • Or wait out a cooldown, which is always available There is one frog. He reacts to how the day is going, and he is the whole interface. You tap him to add a rule and he does the mission alongside you. Built for people who like their phone and would like a bit less of it. Frogi Pro Free keeps the one rule you build when you set the app up. Frogi Pro removes that cap, so you can set a limit on every app that is taking your day. $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in Settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.
