demora vs App Usage Limiter

most screen-time apps work with a password that either you or someone else knows. both come with problems: one is easily overridden, the other makes limits practically unmodifiable—which means trips, emergencies or any special occasion is blocked behind a password. demora doesn't ask for a password. it works on the principle of long-term thinking. it trusts your past self over your current self. plan for the future—the present locked by the past. but demora knows plans change—emergencies happen, so it has optional overrides (off by default, delay-gated) that can skip the delay set by the user. have a friend approve changes or do a couple of math problems—whatever works for you. you can always change your rules. just never in the moment. what - daily time limits per app or group. - schedules — daily, by weekday, or monthly. - one-off planned windows for special events. block or allow more — your choice. - optional overrides: math problems, a password, or a trusted person who approves your request by email or from their own demora. all off by default; all require waiting to turn on. - option to disable uninstalling apps. - free: no fees, subscriptions, or data collection. won't - no accounts, no ads, no analytics. - your app choices and usage never leave your device — apple's screen time framework keeps them invisible even to us. - only the optional trusted-contact requests you choose to send ever touch a server — and those approval codes are hashed and expire in minutes. - no fees and no subscriptions. demora is free. how if demora is free, how does it make money? it doesn't. demora is a passion project — we made something we wished existed and made it free for everyone. it was never meant to be a source of income. demora won't give you discipline. it just makes sure the version of you who set the rules is stronger than the impulse-driven you.

You already know how much time you want to give an app. Free Full Usage Limiter is what makes that decision stick. Pick an app, give it a daily budget, and when the budget runs out the app stops opening. That's it. No streaks, no coaching, no account to create. SET LIMITS THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY THINK • Per app — give one app its own daily budget. • Per folder — group several apps together and give them a single shared budget. Twenty minutes across all your social apps, however you split it. When the budget is gone, they all lock at once. TWO WAYS TO BE STOPPED Friction mode leaves a door, but makes you work for it. To buy back a few minutes you type out a full sentence by hand — pasting is rejected — and then sit through a countdown that restarts if you leave the app. Most of the time you'll close it instead. That's the point. Absolute mode has no door. When the time is gone, it's gone until midnight. An absolute limit also can't be loosened or deleted afterwards; you can only make it stricter. Choose it when you already know you'll negotiate with yourself later. IT NOTICES WHEN YOU KEEP TRYING Every time you hit the lock screen, the message changes. The first one is a gentle nudge. By the tenth it isn't gentle, and it tells you how many times you've tried today. Seeing that number is usually what breaks the loop. SEE WHAT YOU GOT BACK A weekly report shows how much less you used your phone compared to the same point last week — overall and app by app. Not a guilt chart. Just the hours you took back. BUILT TO BE BORING ABOUT YOUR DATA No account. No sign-up. No subscription. No ads. No analytics. No third-party code of any kind. There is no server, because there is nothing to send anywhere. Your limits live on your iPhone and nowhere else. Your usage numbers are read inside an isolated system extension that Apple does not let apps read from — which means even this app cannot see them. That's also why the main screen shows a progress bar rather than a live countdown: iOS genuinely does not allow it. HONEST LIMITATIONS • Requires Screen Time permission. It's what makes blocking possible. • Blocks can take up to a minute to appear after your time runs out. That's how iOS reports usage. • Deleting this app removes every block, including absolute ones. Apple does not allow that door to be closed, and we'd rather tell you than pretend otherwise. Free, completely. There is no paid tier to upsell you to.
