Keep it alive. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Unlike a reminder you'll swipe away, alive actually locks the apps — powered by Apple's Screen Time. When you hit your limit, the app is shielded until tomorrow. No willpower required. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Group your apps (Social, Games, Work — whatever) and give each its own rules • Set a daily budget — "1 hour of Social," and it locks when you're spent • Set blocked hours — "no games 9PM–6AM," every night, automatically • Watch a real shield appear the moment you go over KEEP YOUR PET ALIVE • Every day under your limits feeds a streak and earns seeds • Spend seeds in the shop on new species, colours and décor • Go over — or force past a block — and your pet takes the hit • Miss too many days and it's gone. Hatch a new one and try again. PRIVATE BY DESIGN alive only ever knows how long your apps are used — never what you do in them. Everything stays on your device.
