This 'opt-in' approach is backed by research and actual use. Normal is made to be the most powerful screen time app available. Saving your hours of your day.
It's fully open-source and no features are behind paywalls.
It can also be made to be impossible to bypass.
Highlights of Normal:
- Block Apps via NFC Tags, QR Codes and Barcodes
- Use ANY NFC Tag, QR Code or Barcode
- Unblock/Block specific Apps
- Timed Unblocks
- Emergency Unblocks
- Scheduling
- Complete Granular Control
- Can make it as easy or as hard to bypass
Normal was made because of issues with some other screen time apps.
- Other screen time apps are easy to bypass. Normal can be made to be impossible to bypass, or easy to bypass. You have complete control.
- Most other screen time apps work on opt-out strategy, where you have access to all apps, then lose access through usage.
- Normal works on opt-in strategy. The apps you have blocked are always blocked, to use them you have to physically get up and scan your NFC tag or QR Code.
- Most screen time apps are paid, either one-time or more commonly, subscriptions. There are no paid features. Everything is free and open-source.
- Normal is privacy-focused. We don't log any data, everything stays on device. Since we're open source, you can check our code and confirm.
- Normal allows timed unlocks. Other NFC/QR Code blockers don't have this. If you want to use an app for 15min, you can unlock it for 15min only. You don't have to remember to reblock.
Normal was made by actual users, research on smartphone addiction and developments in dumbphones in-mind.
If you want to turn your iPhone into a dumbphone, you can. Block all smart apps, block the app store, prevent disabling normal (via preventing delete and the shortcuts trick). Now you have a dumbphone, which you can't make smart without your NFC Tag (which you can make as difficult as you need).
If you want a semi-dumbphone, you can. Do the above but have some apps like maps, music, messaging, etc.
If you're a professional who needs access to apps distracting sometimes, Normal is for you! Block all distractions with Normal. Set schedules for you work apps or used timed unblocks. Need 15min to post content or check email? You can do that! You just have to physically get up and scan your NFC Tag, QR Code, or Barcode. The apps will automatically reblock after your timer is over.
