15minutes vs Kept

Social media is not always the problem. Losing track of time inside it is. 15minutes gives the feed a beginning and an end. Choose the apps that tend to pull you in, use them for up to 15 minutes, and then take a one-hour break. When the hour is over, your minutes return and the cycle can begin again. Those 15 minutes are shared across your whole selection, so switching from Instagram to TikTok to Reddit does not reset the clock. You decide exactly what belongs in that selection, whether it is a social network, game, browser, or messaging app. There is no daily allowance to burn through before lunch and regret that evening. Instead, 15minutes creates a rhythm you can live with all day. The hour away gives the urge time to fade and gives something else time to begin. Closing 15minutes or restarting your phone will not bypass an active block. A BETTER PLACE TO LAND Reach for a blocked app and you will find a short, surprising fact instead of a blank screen. Browse discoveries from science, history, language, and the everyday myths many of us still believe. It turns a reflexive tap into a small moment of curiosity without reopening the feed. TIME AWAY CAN EARN TIME BACK Premium rewards the hours when you could scroll but choose not to. Each uninterrupted hour away from your selected feeds adds five bonus minutes, up to twice your usual budget. Open one of those apps and the earning streak starts over. AN EXIT THAT MAKES YOU PAUSE If you genuinely need an app before the hour is over, you can always get back in. The free version asks you to complete a 20-second breathing exercise. Premium lets you adjust the exercise or replace it with a few mental-math questions. Breathing remains available as a fallback, so you are never trapped; the brief moment of intention is the point. You can also end a session early. Any unused minutes are set aside and the one-hour break begins immediately, giving you an easy way to act the moment you realize you have had enough. ROUTINES FOR REAL LIFE With Premium, Work, Free Time, and Sleep can each have their own schedule and app list. Work and Free Time rules can also start automatically when you arrive at a saved place such as the office, gym, or home. Depending on the moment, you can block an app completely or give it a separate repeating budget. Every routine is off until you choose to set it up. PROGRESS WITHOUT MAKE-BELIEVE MATH See today’s completed breaks, your day streak, minutes used, and trends over 7, 30, or 60 days. “Time reclaimed” includes only breaks you actually kept. Unlock early and the counter stops, because progress should reflect what really happened. THE CORE STAYS FREE The 15/60 cycle, block screen, 20-second breathing unlock, progress view, and off switch are free for good. Premium adds earned minutes, the complete fact collection, custom cycle lengths, automatic routines, and more unlock options. The essential blocker itself is never held behind a subscription. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED There is no signup, login, or profile to create. Your history and settings stay on your device; only subscription billing communicates with a server. Choose your apps once, then let 15minutes hold the boundary when your attention is somewhere else.

Kept helps you spend less time on the apps that eat your day. Pick one app, or up to 5, and give each one a daily limit. Kept checks in while you use it, and it can block those apps for the hours you want back, like your evenings or bedtime. Everything stays on your phone, and there are no ads. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your apps in Apple's own picker. Kept doesn't block whole categories, and Phone, Messages, alarms, and any app you don't pick are never blocked. • Set a daily limit of 15, 30, or 45 minutes, 1 hour, or your own number. Under its limit, the app opens as usual. Kept asks "Keep going?" after every 5, 10, or 15 minutes of use (you pick), and it can ask more often after your 3rd Keep going of the day. • When the limit is used up, the app stays blocked until midnight. You can get more time inside Kept. It costs a freeze if you have one. If you don't, it costs your streak and a wait that gets longer each time that day. • Protected time. Set hours when your limited apps are blocked, like Evenings from 5 to 9 PM or Bedtime from 10 PM to 7 AM. An emergency of 5 or 15 minutes is the only way through. You can turn one off for today, and it comes back on at midnight. • Protect now blocks your limited apps from this minute for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or until 9 PM. Start it from Home, Shortcuts, or Siri, or from Control Center on iOS 18 or later. A countdown shows on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Your week shows the days and evenings you kept, how often you said I'm done, your hardest hour, and one suggestion. A Lock Screen widget shows whether Kept is on, when protected time ends, and how many apps are done for today. • Every day you stay within your limits adds a day to your streak. Every 7 days you earn a freeze, which gives one app another round of today's limit. KEPT FREE AND KEPT PRO Every new install gets all of Kept Pro free for 14 days. The trial runs inside the app. You don't add a payment method or sign up, and nothing is charged when it ends. After 14 days Kept keeps working as Kept Free, with 3 limited apps, 1 protected time, 1 freeze, and Your week for this week and last. If you set up more than that, you choose what stays, and the rest is saved for later. Kept Pro adds a weekday and a weekend limit for each app and every past week in Your week. It also limits up to 5 apps, sets up to 5 protected times, and holds up to 3 freezes. • Kept Pro Monthly: $2.99 per month • Kept Pro Yearly: $19.99 per year • Kept Pro Lifetime: $49.99, a one-time purchase Protect now, the widget, emergencies (3 a month), and turning Kept off are free on every plan. PRIVACY AND WAYS OUT There's no account, sign-in, analytics, or tracking. Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone, and Kept never sees your apps' names as text. Kept sends one notification at most, an optional 5-minute warning, and it's off until you turn it on. Turn Kept off in Settings and everything unblocks right away. Kept turns itself back on at 6 AM, unless you choose I turn it back on. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Prices are in US dollars and may vary by country. Monthly and Yearly are auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel any time in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or in Kept under Settings → Kept Pro → Manage subscription. Lifetime is paid once and never renews. Family Sharing is on for all three. Kept uses Apple's Screen Time and needs iOS 17 or later. It's made by one person. Questions and bug reports go to kept@brucelabs.io.
