Your time is too valuable to lose to one more scroll. Fella is a simple, powerful app blocker that helps you reduce screen time, block distracting apps, and stay focused when it matters. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Choose the social media, games, entertainment, news, shopping, or other apps that pull you in. No complicated system. Pick what distracts you. Start a block. Get back to your life. MAKE FOCUS AUTOMATIC Create routines for work, studying, mornings, bedtime, reading, exercise, family time, or any part of your day you want protected from distraction. Set your routine once and let Fella create the boundary before the scrolling starts. Fella keeps your selected apps out of reach so you can spend your attention where you meant to. REDUCE SCREEN TIME WITHOUT GIVING UP YOUR PHONE You do not need a dumbphone or another complicated productivity system. Fella helps make distraction harder without removing the apps you still need. Use Fella to: • Block social media while you work or study • Reduce mindless scrolling and doomscrolling • Protect your mornings and bedtime • Stay present with friends and family • Create more time for reading, fitness, sleep, and real life BUILD BETTER PHONE HABITS See your progress, build momentum, and turn focused time into a habit. Instead of only measuring the screen time you lost, see the time you took back. EMERGENCY ACCESS WHEN LIFE HAPPENS Sometimes you genuinely need a blocked app. Fella includes limited emergency access for those moments while keeping the app blocker strong enough to stop casual, impulsive scrolling. The goal is not to make your phone unusable. It is to make distraction a choice instead of a reflex. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Fella is designed to feel calm, clear, and easy to use. Choose what to block, start focusing, and move on with your day. POWERED BY APPLE SCREEN TIME Fella uses Apple’s Screen Time technology to block the apps you choose. You stay in control of what is blocked and when blocking is active. TAKE YOUR TIME BACK Block distracting apps. Reduce screen time. Stay focused. Build better habits. Make your phone work for you instead of against you. Download Fella and get your time back. Some features require a Fella+ subscription Terms of Use (EULA): https://usefella.com/terms

Goodwhile is an app blocker built around a simple idea: a promise. Pick the apps and websites you want a break from. Pick how long — an evening, a weekend, a whole month. Pick how strict. Then make your promise, and Goodwhile keeps your word with Apple’s Screen Time technology: your chosen apps are shielded until the time you set, and the shield lifts on its own the moment your promise is kept. No accounts. No tracking. Your list of apps never leaves your phone. WHY PROMISES WORK Willpower runs out; a promise doesn’t have to. Deciding once — calmly, ahead of time — beats deciding a hundred times a day with the feed one tap away. Goodwhile turns that one good decision into a quiet shield that lasts exactly as long as you chose. CHOOSE YOUR STRICTNESS • Flexible — release your promise anytime. A gentle nudge. • Steady — ask to release, then a 24-hour cooling-off before you can confirm. Enough friction to outlast the craving. • Ironclad — no way to release in the app until your promise is done. Your word, given once. MAKE IT FIT YOUR LIFE • Stack up to 10 promises, each with its own apps, duration, and strictness — social apps for a week, games for a month. • Exact durations from 15 minutes to a year — not just preset chips. • Block websites too, right alongside apps. • Saved batches — reuse your “doomscroll bundle” with one tap. • Start-later promises — commit tonight to a promise that starts Monday morning. • Recurring promises — the same quiet windows every week, like evenings after 9pm. SEE WHAT YOU’VE GAINED • Days kept — your streak of promises honored. • Time given back — the hours your shields have quietly returned to you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything about your promises stays on your device. Apple’s Screen Time technology means Goodwhile never even sees a readable list of your apps — and nothing about them is ever transmitted anywhere. Beyond standard purchase information if you subscribe, the only thing that leaves your phone is anonymous usage statistics (like how many promises are made), tied to a random identifier — never to you. No accounts, no third-party trackers. GOODWHILE PRO Shaping a promise is free — starting one requires Goodwhile Pro: $4.99/week with a 3-day free trial, $29.99/year, or $79.99 once, forever. Every Pro feature is included: promises up to a year, stacked promises, recurring promises, start-later promises, and unlimited batches. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage them in your Apple account settings. A note on honesty: Goodwhile uses Apple’s Screen Time system, and you always stay in control of your own device — we don’t claim to be impossible to get around. What we offer is a promise that’s hard enough to break that you’ll usually decide to keep it. That turns out to be enough. Step away for a good while. We’ll keep your word. — Terms of Use: https://vikicorehq.github.io/goodwhile/terms/ EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://vikicorehq.github.io/goodwhile/privacy/
