ScreenAway

ScreenAway flips screen time on its head: instead of counting the hours you lose to your phone, it measures and celebrates the hours you win back. Put the phone down and a live timer starts counting your time away. Hit your daily goal to build a streak. Read the journal to see what your offline hours were actually worth. HOW IT WORKS ScreenAway uses Apple's Screen Time technology in reverse. Pick the apps to track (choose all of them for best results) and ScreenAway detects the gaps: every stretch of 30 minutes or more without your phone counts as away time. No manual timers, no check-ins. It just notices. AWAY TIME, LIVE ⢠A ticking timer the moment you step away ⢠A daily progress ring toward your goal ⢠Day streaks that make consistency visible FOCUS SESSIONS One tap shields your distracting apps and starts a Lock Screen Live Activity. End the session any time. The shield lifts immediately. INSIGHTS, WRITTEN ON YOUR IPHONE Apple Intelligence writes a short daily note about your progress, on your device, never in a cloud. No Apple Intelligence? ScreenAway's built-in insights take over seamlessly. A JOURNAL OF WINS Every stretch away becomes a concrete benefit: deep-focus time, real presence, room to move. See roughly how many book pages, steps, or unhurried dinners your offline hours were worth. WIDGETS THAT DISAPPEAR Home Screen widgets with an optional wallpaper-matched transparent background, plus a Lock Screen progress ring. Twelve accent themes with matching app icons. PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE ⢠ScreenAway contains zero networking code, so nothing can leave your iPhone ⢠It never sees which apps you use: Apple's Screen Time system hands it opaque signals only ⢠The screen-time totals on the History tab are rendered by a sandboxed Apple extension the app can't read ⢠No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking ⢠Delete the app and every trace is gone REQUIREMENTS ⢠iPhone with iOS 26.0 or later ⢠Screen Time permission (asked on first launch) ⢠Apple Intelligence optional; insights fall back gracefully without it Your phone already tells you what you lost. ScreenAway shows you what you gained.
