Screen Time Blocker vs Time Debt

Take control of your screen time with Otama, an app blocker, focus timer, social media limiter, and digital wellbeing companion designed to help you use your phone with intention. Instead of instantly opening distracting apps, Otama adds a thoughtful pause before they launch. Brain Games act as your shield between you and your distraction, giving you a real opportunity to decide whether using them is worth your time. Rather than relying on simple app blocks that are easy to disable, Otama makes access a deliberate choice. Choose the apps you want to control, select an unlock challenge, adjust the difficulty, and decide how long you can use an app after completing it. Daily screen time allowances let you set a shared limit across locked apps or create individual limits for each one. Unlock durations have limited daily uses, so every session becomes a more intentional decision. When you finish using an app early, Otama can return your unused time to Saved Allowance. Use that saved time later when it matters most, rewarding intentional use instead of encouraging longer sessions. After each unlocked session, an optional cooldown temporarily locks the app again, helping prevent repeated open-close-reopen habits that often lead to unnecessary screen time. #Features • Block distracting apps with customizable unlock challenges • Set daily screen time limits for individual apps or groups of apps • Choose how long each unlock lasts with limited daily unlocks • Recover unused time with Saved Allowance • Add cooldown periods between sessions to discourage repeated checking • Create Routines for work, study, mornings, evenings, or bedtime • Start Focus Sessions with customizable timers and distraction-free app blocking • Use Urge Support for short guided exercises when you're tempted to open an app • Track attempts, resisted urges, intentional unlocks, time saved, and weekly trends • Switch between Casual Mode for flexibility or Committed Mode for stronger accountability • Adaptive app screen limits, let otama study your usage and help you reduce your screen time Otama is built for students who want to study without constant interruptions, professionals protecting deep work, creators trying to stay present, parents building healthier phone habits, and anyone tired of opening social media without thinking. It isn't about abandoning useful apps or chasing the lowest screen time possible. It's about creating enough friction to pause, make a conscious choice, and spend your attention where it matters most.

Borrow ten extra minutes today, and tomorrow's screen-time allowance starts ten minutes shorter. Time Debt is an app blocker built on Apple's Screen Time system. Instead of ignoring your limit when you want more time, you borrow a controlled amount from tomorrow — and see exactly what it costs before you confirm. SET YOUR LIMIT Choose distracting apps, categories and websites with Apple's private picker, then set a realistic daily allowance. Different weekday and weekend limits are supported. BORROW DELIBERATELY Out of time? Pick 5, 10 or 15 minutes, or a custom amount within your cap. Time Debt shows today, tomorrow's normal allowance and tomorrow's adjusted allowance side by side. Nothing happens until you confirm. REPAY TOMORROW Borrowed minutes are repaid automatically — once, never twice. No interest and nothing compounds. Tomorrow never drops below the minimum you choose, and ending a borrowed session early returns the unused minutes. REAL APP BLOCKING When your allowance runs out, a calm shield covers the selected apps. Stop for today, or open Time Debt to borrow with the full picture. PROTECT YOUR FOCUS Start a focus session in one tap for study, work or reading. Selected apps stay shielded while the timer runs. Borrowed time shows a Live Activity countdown. BUILD A BETTER BEDTIME ROUTINE Set protected hours that can cross midnight and decide in advance whether borrowing is allowed during them. Reminders are optional. SEE YOUR PROGRESS HONESTLY History shows allowances, borrowed and repaid minutes, focus sessions, Flex Minutes earned by stopping early, and days you stayed within your plan — clearly labelled, never framed as failure. FAMILY TOOLS Use a family plan on a shared or handed-over iPhone. Requests and parent approvals happen on the same device, and parent-only settings are protected by Face ID, Touch ID or passcode. There is no remote monitoring. EMERGENCY ACCESS, ALWAYS Remove every Time Debt shield until tomorrow at any time, at no cost. It does not change Screen Time limits set in iOS Settings or by a Family Sharing organizer. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads. Your rules, app selections and history stay on your iPhone and work offline. Time Debt never sees app names or content — Apple provides anonymous tokens. RevenueCat processes an anonymous identifier only to manage subscriptions. CORE AND PRO The core plan includes one full plan with real blocking, borrowing, automatic repayment, 7-day history and emergency access. Time Debt Pro adds multiple plans, custom schedules, multi-day repayment, longer history and reports, guided programs and expanded family tools. Time Debt is a voluntary commitment tool for digital wellbeing, not medical or psychological treatment. On your own iPhone, Screen Time permission can be withdrawn in Settings. Auto-renewing subscriptions are managed through Apple. Price, trial eligibility and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
