Think First vs Warden

You reach for your phone – and 40 minutes later you no longer know why. Think First puts a short, deliberate moment right before that. No lecturing, no permanent lockout. The app stays closed until you have taken a moment – then the decision is yours. SETUP IN THREE STEPS • Pick your app from the list – around 70 well-known apps are built in • Link it in the system dialog so iOS knows which app you mean • Allow notifications – they take you from the blocked app to your countdown HOW YOUR MOMENT WORKS • You tap the app – it is blocked and shows its name • "Start my moment" sends you a notification • You tap it, the countdown runs, then you decide • Finally you set how long you need: 5, 15 or 30 minutes • The app then opens by itself – and locks again once your time is used HOW LONG DO YOU NEED? After the countdown you set yourself a time budget. Real usage counts, not the clock: if the phone sits on the table in between, your budget doesn't run down. Once it's used up the app locks itself again. YOUR APPS, BY NAME AND ICON Every protected app appears the way you know it: in statistics, in notifications and on the lock screen. So you see which app calls you how often – not just an anonymous total. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU NEED IT FOR • Before the app opens you type, in one sentence, what you actually intend to do • Apple Intelligence reads along directly on your iPhone and checks that you really answered – not whether your reason is good enough • Later you see which sentence you tell yourself most often • Your text never leaves your device. Requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer with iOS 26 STAYING WITH IT, MADE REWARDING • Levels, XP and streaks for every impulse you win, 12 badges • Streak protection: once a week a day may drop out • Add friends and compare the week – free, up to 50 • Share your wins as an image: your numbers, your streak, your badges AT A GLANCE A home screen widget with your numbers per app – and one for the lock screen, right where you reach for the phone. EMERGENCY? SOS Press and hold the app icon, confirm three times: everything is open for 5 minutes. Then everything locks itself again – even if you never open Think First.

No account, no tracking, no ads • Think First never learns which apps you pick – Apple does not reveal that • The friends feature is optional and data-minimal FREE AND PREMIUM Free, no account, no ads: • Three protected apps with the deliberate moment • State your intention (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) • Instant “Focus now” sessions • Your numbers for today • Levels, XP, streaks and badges • Friends and leaderboard, up to 50 With Premium: • Hard Mode – the lock can't be clicked away while it runs • Daily limits: “30 minutes of social”, then it's done • Focus schedules: “Study 8–15, Mon–Fri” • As many apps as you like • Growing wait: every further reach costs more time today • Impulse quota: “Instagram three times a day, no more” • Time profiles, your own wait and question per app • Advanced statistics including CSV export • 11 themes, 10 app icons, widgets Both subscriptions start with 7 days free: €49.99 a year or €6.99 a month.

Warden helps you spend less time in the apps that take over your day. It shows which app takes the most of your time, sets a limit in one tap, and can hand the early unlock to someone you trust. APPLE WATCH & SIRI Start a digital detox from your Apple Watch, follow the countdown and keep your streak on your watch face. Use Siri or create your own phrase in Shortcuts. Your iPhone enforces the blocks, and Always Allowed apps stay available. FIND WHAT TAKES YOUR TIME Warden reads your Screen Time and shows your heaviest apps with a seven-day chart. For each one it suggests a daily limit based on how you actually use it, and shows how many minutes a day that gives back. LIMITS THAT FIT YOUR DAY • Daily limits, with separate minutes for each app • Opens per day: choose how many times an app can open, and for how long • Schedules that repeat, like no social media after 10 PM • Focus sessions that keep your chosen apps closed until the timer ends • Always Allowed apps and websites that stay open during every block CHOOSE HOW STRICT EACH RULE IS Every rule has its own access mode. Standard: when you need an app, hold to open it for a few minutes. Warden: your request goes to someone you trust, and they decide how long you get. Lockdown: the rule can't be edited or opened early until the day resets. YOUR WARDEN Your Warden is a friend, partner or family member who holds your early unlock. When you want more time, you send a request. They can approve the full time, give less, or say no. If nobody answers within 30 minutes, the app stays locked. Your Warden sees your streak and your requests, and can't change your rules or see which apps you use. Being someone's Warden is free. A MOMENT TO STOP When your time is up, Warden puts a calm screen in front of the app with a short reminder of why you set the limit. You can keep the app closed or review your access. SAFETY • An emergency override opens everything at once, even offline • If Warden hasn't been opened for three days, every block lifts • If your Warden leaves, your blocks continue for a short grace period and then lift PROGRESS • A daily streak with a 90-day history • Screen Time insights that compare this week with last week • A live countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Home Screen widgets for your streak and current status PRIVACY Warden is built on Apple's Screen Time framework, so iOS enforces every block. When you pick apps, Apple's picker gives Warden a private token instead of the app's name. Your usage figures stay on your iPhone. Your Warden sees your streak and your requests, and nothing else. PRICING Daily limits, schedules and focus sessions are free. Warden Pro adds the Warden and Lockdown access modes, unlimited personal suggestions and your full Screen Time history. Being someone's Warden is always free. Warden Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings. Requires iOS 17 or later. Your Warden needs an iPhone with Warden installed. Privacy Policy: https://warden.to/privacy Terms of Use: https://warden.to/terms
