Sage Fox: Screen Time & Focus

Sage Fox doesn't lecture you, and it doesn't just slam the door. It puts a fox in the doorway. When you reach the limit you set that morning, your chosen apps lock, and the fox challenges you to a game of four-in-a-row. Beat her, and you've earned fifteen minutes. Lose or walk away, and the apps rest for fifteen. Then she asks again.

That pause – the moment between the reach and the scroll – is the entire app.

HOW THE PACT WORKS

1. Choose the apps that tend to swallow your evening. Sage watches those, and only those.
2. Each morning, you set the day's allowance yourself. Not a number you picked once and forgot – an honest choice, made fresh, with today in front of you.
3. Scroll as usual. Sage keeps the count in the background.
4. Reach the limit and a shield steps in. Open Sage, and the duel begins.
5. Win: fifteen minutes, earned. Lose or concede: fifteen minutes of rest. The board comes back until midnight.
6. Tomorrow, you choose again. Your apps wait, locked, until you do.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• A real opponent. Connect Four against a fox who actually plays to win – no rigged losses, no free passes.
• Today, at a glance. Real Screen Time totals for the apps you guard, your progress against today's limit, and where the rest of the hours went.
• The honest math. Before you commit, Sage shows you what those apps have already taken today – and what they add up to over a lifetime.
• A day off, when you mean it. Step out of the pact for a day without tearing it down.
• Friction that points one way. Adding an app to the watch is instant. Taking one away asks you to press and hold – and ending the pact waits an hour before it takes effect, so the decision outlives the craving. Backing out is always a single tap.
• Twelve languages. English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai – switchable inside the app, independent of your phone's language.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY

Sage reads your usage totals through Apple's Screen Time framework. It never sees what you read, watch, type, or send – and by Apple's design, it can't. Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone. It is never uploaded, never sold, and never shared. Anonymous product analytics (which steps people use – no names, no app identities) are EU-hosted and can be turned off in Settings.

GOOD TO KNOW

Sage Fox requires Screen Time (Family Controls) permission to work. It guards individual apps you pick – not whole categories or websites. Because Apple's re-lock isn't instantaneous, access can end a little after the window closes.
