BeforeShorts

Less scrolling. More focus.

Take a walk, spend time reading or finish a focus session. BeforeShorts turns those everyday actions into minutes in your time wallet. When you want to scroll, choose how much time to use in the apps you protect. Make room for the things you want to do and the scrolling you enjoy.

1. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME
Earn from steps, walking and running distance, and active energy through Apple Health. Select reading apps to earn from confirmed reading time, or complete a 30–45 minute focus session with waves, thunderstorm, stream or forest sounds. Choose which reward sources to enable.

2. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE EARNED
Your time wallet shows available minutes, today's earnings, time used and time to repay. The ledger records rewards, deductions and repayments. Each day starts with a small base allowance; wallet balances and usage allowances reset daily.

3. ENJOY A BREAK YOU CHOOSE
Select the apps you want to protect with Apple's Screen Time controls. Choose a timed allowance and use your wallet minutes in those apps. Selected apps share one cumulative allowance. Minutes are deducted when an allowance starts; the wallet is not a live usage countdown.

If your wallet is empty and no previous debt remains, you can borrow a small allowance. Later earnings repay that debt first. You decide when to take a break and can leave earned minutes unused.

MEMBERSHIP AND YOUR RULES
Using or borrowing time requires an active monthly or annual membership. Paid membership also lets you customize exchange rates, the daily earning limit and borrowing amount. Any available trial, its eligibility, duration and price are shown by Apple before purchase; trial users use the default rules.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before renewal. Any free trial renews into its subscription unless canceled before it ends. Manage or cancel renewal at any time in your Apple Account subscription settings. Restore Purchases and Manage Subscription are available in the app.
