Screen Time Control vs Pushbuddy

Ever open an app without meaning to? Mute makes the apps you choose unavailable during the hours you choose. Not willpower. A wall. THREE WAYS TO STOP - Schedule: block apps during set hours, like 10 PM to 7 AM, or weekday mornings. Pick the days. - Daily limit: "one hour a day." When you use it up, that app stays closed until midnight. - Focus timer: any length from 15 minutes up, in 5-minute steps. Leave it open-ended with ∞. The countdown lives on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. Ending early takes one breath first. BLOCKED MEANS QUIET Mute uses Apple's Screen Time framework. While an app is blocked, it can't be opened, and its notifications stop arriving. Nothing on your lock screen pulling you back in. Websites in Safari can be blocked by domain, too. LOCKOUT (MUTE PRO) Turn on Lockout, and a rule or timer can't be switched off, edited, or deleted until it ends. Not from inside the app, not by deleting Mute, not by changing the clock. For the moment you genuinely need out, there's one emergency pass a week. TIME TAKEN BACK, AND YOUR STREAK When a timer ends, Mute shows the time you took back. Keep your rules running day after day and your streak grows; Mute lets you know at milestones like 3, 7, and 30 days. Home also shows how much time went to which apps today. THE TERRARIUM A terrarium is a small garden sealed in glass: moss, a few tiny plants, a world you can hold in one hand. Your home screen in Mute holds one. As you take back time and your streak reaches milestones, you earn new terrariums and choose which one to display. No pep talks. A quiet, growing scene. YOUR USAGE STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Mute never sends records of which apps you use, when, or for how long to our servers. The apps you block are stored as tokens issued by Apple, and we can't turn them back into app names. No account, no email address. Delete everything from Settings whenever you like. IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU - An hour of scrolling before bed you didn't plan - Opening social media between tasks without deciding to - Losing your focus every time a notification lands - Setting a Screen Time limit, then tapping "Ignore Limit" FREE AND MUTE PRO Free includes two rules and the focus timer without limits. Pro removes the rule limit and unlocks Lockout. GOOD TO KNOW - Requires iOS 26.5 or later and Screen Time access. - Mute Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (annual or weekly). Prices are shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, and the subscription renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage it in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. - Terms of Use: https://blossom-railway-09b.notion.site/Term-of-Use-3d137c58801d80788f90dddd1e760888 - Privacy Policy: https://blossom-railway-09b.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-3d137c58801d80ac910ce254e0843bf6

Pushbuddy blocks the apps that eat your day. To get them back, you do something real. Pick what you lose hours to. Pushbuddy shields it. The shield lifts only when you have earned minutes — and minutes come from push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, a walk, or focused work. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose what to block — any app, any category, any website. 2. Earn minutes with a habit. Your camera counts the reps on device. 3. Spend them: 15, 30 or 60 minutes. The shield returns when time is up. WHAT A HABIT BUYS • 10 push-ups — 15 minutes • 15 squats — 15 minutes • 30 jumping jacks — 15 minutes • 1,000 steps — 10 minutes • 25 minutes of focus — 25 minutes, one to one. Work never buys more scrolling than it cost. • 240 minutes a day, hard cap. You cannot bank a whole day and defeat the point. Lock early and the unused minutes come back to you. Changing your mind is not punished. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES • Time in locked apps, today by the hour and this week by the day — tap any bar for the exact time. • How often you reached for a locked app this month, and whether it is falling. • Every push-up, squat, step and focused minute you have put in. REPS ARE COUNTED, NOT CLAIMED On-device pose detection watches you move, so the phone has to actually see the work. No video is recorded, saved or uploaded. Steps come from your iPhone's own motion sensor. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, ever. Camera frames are processed live and never recorded or uploaded. Pushbuddy never learns which apps you picked. The only thing that leaves is anonymous usage counts — no advertising ID, no profile. PRICE Free for 7 days with everything unlocked. Then one payment, once. No subscription, nothing to cancel. Pushbuddy uses Screen Time permission to shield your apps, and hands them back on your terms.
