About

StillMode

Features
Read full description

StillMode helps you put your phone down more often, without giving it up. Shield the apps that pull at you, keep feeds out of your mornings and nights, and take a short, calm break when you truly need one. Still, a soft little cloud-pebble buddy, keeps you company along the way. β—† WHAT CHANGES β—† β€’ Calmer nights: feeds go quiet before bed β€’ Clearer focus: work and study time stays yours β€’ Hours back: see exactly where your day goes β€’ Better habits: earn screen time with things that matter to you β€’ Fewer impulse buys and ad rabbit holes β—† SHIELD ANY APP OR WEBSITE β—† Shield single apps, whole categories (Social, Games, Shopping, News…) or websites in every browser. Works with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, X, Reddit, Facebook, Netflix and any other app on your iPhone. β—† SHIELDS FOR EVERY PART OF YOUR DAY β—† β€’ Focus now: shield apps for 30 min, an hour, or as long as you like β€’ On a schedule: quiet hours for work, mornings or nights β€’ Lock an app: a few visits a day, then it rests β€’ Daily limit: a time budget, then the shield goes up β€’ Earn with habits: finish a habit, open your apps β€’ A Preset library to start in one tap: Nine to Five, Lights Low, Slow Sunrise, Long Focus and more β—† BREAKS, ON YOUR TERMS β—† Before a break, StillMode can ask for a short pause, a quick "why", or a code to copy. That small moment is often all it takes to change your mind. β—† LOCKDOWN β—† For the days you know you'll be tempted: Lockdown keeps a shield exactly as it is until it's over. An Emergency unlock is always there if something urgent comes up. β—† PAUSE SCREENS β—† Open a shielded app and you'll see a gentle thought, something else to do, or a note you wrote to yourself. β—† CIRCLES β—† Slow down together. Start a circle with friends, family or teammates, see who had the calmest day and cheer each other on. β—† YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE β—† Daily and weekly screen time, pickups, most-used apps, and a quick "Worth it?" check on the apps you used. β—† PRIVATE BY DESIGN β—† StillMode is built on Apple's Screen Time API. Which apps you use stays on your device. We never see your app list, your messages or your browsing. If you join a circle, only your daily total is shared with it. β—† STILLMODE PLUS β—† Unlimited shields, Lockdown, habits, your own pause screens and full reports. β€’ $5.99 / month β€’ $29.99 / year (3-day free trial) β€’ $99.99 lifetime (one-time purchase) Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
