Promise vs GoodBully

Social media apps are designed to keep you scrolling. Promise helps you reduce screen time with playful app blocking, focus routines, and a cute companion who keeps you accountable. Set limits for distracting apps like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, games, or any app you want to use less. When you try to open a blocked app, Promise gives you a gentle pause before you continue. You can take a short break — or break your promise and watch your companion’s happiness drop. Promise is more than a screen time tracker or app blocker. It makes screen time control feel personal, visual, and motivating. Features: • Block distracting apps • Reduce screen time and doomscrolling • Set app limits and focus routines • Get soft warnings before hard blocks • Break the heart to unlock apps intentionally • Track screen time, phone pickups, and app usage • Build streaks and healthier phone habits • Choose cute companions like Whiskers, Mochi, or Capy Perfect for: • Reducing phone addiction • Spending less time on social media • Staying focused while studying or working • Building better digital wellbeing habits • Turning app blocking into something you actually care about Make a promise. Protect your companion. Take back your screen time.

Put your goals before your scrolling. GoodBully treats your phone as a tool. Tell it what you want more of (a language app, reading, exercise) and what you want less of (social media, videos, games, shopping, takeout). Lock yourself out of the bad stuff until you finish the good stuff. HOW IT WORKS • Name your goals and your guilty pleasures. GoodBully groups the apps behind each one. • Set time limits for yourself. • Hit a limit and a shield covers those apps. Personalized messages come at a tone that suits you. • Want in anyway? Be prepared to beat a game, solve a riddle, pick the odd one out, reason through a question, or take a photo of something around you. Tasks change every time, so it never becomes a reflex. • Track streaks and goals, and put your streak on your Home Screen with the widget. THE SHIELD KNOWS THINGS It is not a timer that says "time's up." It knows how many times you have opened the app today, how long you have been in there, what time your limit ran out, and the streak you are three seconds from breaking. It says so. RULES IN PLAIN ENGLISH Build a rule by tapping words: "Weekdays, 9 AM–5 PM, Social apps are locked at Work." Rules can follow the day, the hour, the kind of app, a goal and a place, and you can always see which rules are active. GoodBully notices patterns, like late nights on social apps, and suggests rule improvements you can add with one swipe. A COLLECTION YOU EARN Keep your limits and finish daily, weekly, or monthly challenges to open capsules and collect bullies. You'll have to earn it, we don't do pay-to-win here. CHECK-INS, NOT JUST BLOCKS Halfway through your limit — and again if you are burning through it faster than the day can carry — GoodBully steps in front of the app and tells you where you are. One tap and you are through. GOODBULLY PRO • Goals first: the apps you want less of stay locked until your goals have had their time. The shield tells you which goal is next. • Strict rules: no more "Let me in anyway". • Rules by day, time and place: bedtime, work hours, "at Work". • Focus sessions: lock everything you're avoiding for 15 minutes to two hours, with a countdown on your Lock Screen. • No deleting apps: turn it on and apps can't be deleted, GoodBully included. • Full history: every day on record, not just the last 14. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription, with a 3-day free trial on the monthly plan and a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. The App Store shows the price in your own currency. Cancel any time. YOUR SCREEN TIME STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Which apps you shield, how long you spend in them, and the places you name are read on the device and never sent anywhere. GoodBully has no ads and sells nothing about you. GoodBully uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to shield apps you choose on your own iPhone. It is not a parental-controls app and does not manage anyone else's device.
