Stop doom-scrolling. Drip lets you set a screen time budget. Your balance goes down as you use distracting apps and it refills over time. When it hits zero, those apps are blocked. Choose the apps, websites, and categories you want to limit. Set your max balance and how often minutes refill. Use your time. Your balance drains as you scroll. If you get blocked, take a moment away from your apps. Minutes come back on their own. DRIP PRO Upgrade to Pro for: Unlimited blocklists. Always-block schedules: fully block apps during set times, regardless of balance. Multiple warning notifications per blocklist.
