Fewer Apps

Keep the apps you need. Make a confident decision about the rest.

Fewer Apps helps you review your selected apps using on-device Screen Time
evidence. See what you used, what stayed untouched, and which apps deserve a
closer look. Reviews and removal guidance are free.

REVIEW YOUR APP USE
Choose the apps and categories you want to review. Compare recorded time,
days used, latest activity and notifications. Fewer Apps explains the evidence
and makes missing or incomplete observation clear.

KEEP YOUR ESSENTIALS
Some apps matter even when you rarely open them. Choose protected essentials
to keep them out of removal suggestions and new Hibernation selections. You
stay in control of which apps are protected. Their recorded usage remains
visible in the full review.

TRY LIVING WITHOUT AN APP
The optional Fewer Apps Forever purchase unlocks Hibernation. Put an uncertain
app behind a Screen Time gate while keeping it installed. Opening it becomes
a deliberate choice: let it sleep or wake it.

Open Try Without to see your active experiments first, with decisions ready to
review and any protection issues together. After 14 uninterrupted days of confirmed
observation without an opening attempt, an app can become Ready to Remove.
An opening attempt or choosing Keep hibernating restarts that observation
period. You can wake an app at any time.

MAKE THE FINAL DECISION YOURSELF
Free removal guidance shows how to delete an app on your iPhone. Fewer Apps
never removes another app automatically. A removal in History is recorded
when you confirm that you deleted it.

KEEP YOUR HISTORY
The one-time purchase also unlocks dated History of your Hibernation and wake
decisions, plus removals you report. Your saved History is stored on your device.
Create an optional progress card without app names when you want to share a
milestone. Removals on the card are clearly labeled as user-reported.

CHOOSE YOUR APPEARANCE
Choose System, Light or Dark for Fewer Apps. System follows your iPhone's
appearance and is the default. Your choice is remembered on this device.

CHECK IN WHEN IT HELPS
The optional Home Screen widget shows a dated summary of your experiments.
Tap the widget to open Fewer Apps and refresh your experiments. The widget
requires Fewer Apps Forever. You can also choose a free weekly review reminder;
notifications are optional.

PAY ONCE
Fewer Apps Forever is an optional, restorable one-time purchase. No
subscription. Review and removal guidance stay free.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Usage analysis runs on your device inside Apple's Screen Time report. No
Fewer Apps account, advertising or analytics service. Fewer Apps does not send
your usage reports to a server.

Requires iOS 17 or later and Screen Time permission for usage review and new
Hibernation selections. Hibernation does not hide, uninstall or erase an app.
