Pauza vs ScreenAway

Challenge a friend to scroll less. Loser pays — in minutes (tokens). Pauza is the first screen time app where focus is a game you win together. Most blockers rely on willpower — and willpower runs out. Pauza adds something stronger: a real stake and a friend on the other side. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Challenge a friend to scroll less than you. Whoever loses, really pays. A real stake and someone watching make it far harder to reach for the feed — this is the part no other screen time app has. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Every minute you don't waste becomes a reward you keep. Trade scrolling for something that grows, instead of just fighting the urge. BLOCK THE APPS THAT EAT YOUR DAY Set limits on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and more in seconds. Powered by Apple Screen Time. SEE WHERE YOUR HOURS GO A clear, app-by-app breakdown of your day — no guessing, no shame, just the truth about where the time went. BUILD A STREAK Win one focused day at a time and watch your progress grow. Small wins, stacked. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The apps you choose to block never leave your device — your blocklist is yours alone, built with Apple's Screen Time API. Only an anonymous daily total syncs, so friends see your minutes, never which apps you used. The optional avatar selfie is processed once and deleted — never stored. PAUZA PRO The core app — blocking, tracking, streaks and challenges — is free. Pauza Pro unlocks longer Hard mode sessions, extended challenges, and full weekly / monthly / yearly analytics. Take your screen time back. Start today. Privacy Policy: https://pauza.ai/privacy Terms of Use: https://pauza.ai/terms Questions: info@pauza.ai

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.
