You don't actually want another hour on the feed. You want to be at the concert, on the walk, at the table — with the people who are actually there. But in the moment, the urge to check always wins. Reroute uses Apple's Screen Time system to guard the apps that eat your free time, and gives you a way to actually be present with the people around you — at a shared event, with a partner nearby, or just on your own. Tap a guarded app, and instead of the feed opening, Reroute meets you there first. From that moment, you choose: leave for something you'd rather be doing, take a quick peek, or spend banked minutes on a deliberate scroll. FEATURES Events: Create or join a shared event with a link — no account required for guests. Everyone in the room stays off their guarded apps for the night, together, so nobody's the only one who put their phone away. App guard: The apps you choose can only be opened through Reroute — no willpower required at the moment of the urge. Smart timing: Set protected times for the hours you want to stay off guarded apps, and Reroute checks whether your paired partner's device is nearby — so the block holds when it matters and eases when you're actually together. Time banking: Get a daily allowance for deliberate scrolling, used only when you mean to — unused time carries back to you instead of disappearing. Timed sessions with Live Activity: Active sessions show up on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Tap to end a session early and bank whatever time is left. Daily intentions: Jot down what you want to get done today, and Reroute reminds you when the urge to scroll hits — optional, and easy to turn off in Settings. Streaks & history: Track every redirect, every minute saved, every session — staying on track gets easier to see. Private by design: Apple's Screen Time framework keeps your guarded apps opaque even to us — Reroute never sees which apps you chose or what happens inside them. NOT A BLOCKER. NOT A LECTURE. Reroute isn't parental-control software, and it isn't cold-turkey. It's built for people who want their time — and their attention — back for the people and moments in front of them. No shame, no lockouts, just a small, deliberate choice every time the urge hits. Small actions, compounding. Every reroute is a vote for who you're with, and who you'd rather be with.

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Groupy Calendar at none against Reroute's shown.

On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
