Read full description

Time Wallet keeps your distractions closed until you decide to take a break. Choose the app that pulls you in too easily. Time Wallet protects it by default using Apple Screen Time tools. When you want access, start a 5, 15 or 30 minute break. During the break, your protected selection is available. When the time ends, Time Wallet locks it again automatically. FREE • Protect one individual app • Take unlimited 5, 15 or 30 minute breaks • End a break early when you are done • Automatic re-protection after every break • Essential weekly statistics • No account required TIME WALLET PRO • Protect multiple apps • Protect categories and websites when supported by Screen Time • Choose custom break durations • Add an optional daily limit • Add optional cooldown between breaks • Use Strict Mode for stronger rules • See advanced history and statistics Time Wallet is designed for conscious access, not more time inside the app. A day with no break can still be a useful day if your protection stayed in place. The app does not read the content of protected apps, messages, photos or websites. App selection is handled through Apple's Screen Time frameworks. Purchases and subscriptions are handled by Apple.
