Spending more time on your phone than you'd like? DetoxScreen helps you take back control ā no guilt, no bloat. DetoxScreen blocks the apps that pull you in ā social media, video, games ā during the moments you want to stay focused. You set the rules, the app does the rest. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Block the apps of your choice in one tap ⢠Start a focus session with a chosen duration when you need to concentrate ⢠Create distraction-free schedules (work, sleep, meals, workouts) ⢠Give yourself "5 more minutes" right from the block screen ā a bounded grace period (3 a day), not an open door ⢠Filter the websites that waste your time ⢠Turn on Strict Mode so you can't disable a block on a whim ⢠Track the time you win back WHY DETOXSCREEN Most digital-wellbeing apps can be bypassed in two seconds. DetoxScreen is built on Apple's Screen Time technology, so blocking actually works: when you decide to cut off, it cuts off. Completely free: no subscription, no account, no ads, no selling your data. Your usage never leaves your device. A digital detox doesn't mean quitting everything. It means choosing. DetoxScreen gives you that choice back. Take back your time. Take back your attention.
