Screenguard: Limit Screen Time

Get your screen time under control.

Screenguard is the fun, simple way to change your screen time habits, not just track them.

Before you open a distracting app, Screenguard asks one simple question: how long do you actually need? Turns out, that small bit of friction is enough to gradually change your habit.


How it works:

Pick the apps you want to guard. Set a daily time budget, a limit on opens, or both. When you open a guarded app, Screenguard steps in and asks how long you need it. You decide how long you need to use it, and a live countdown appears in your Dynamic Island so you always know where you stand. When time's up, Screenguard nudges you to put it down.

That's it. One intention. Every time you reach for a distraction.


What makes Screenguard different:

Most screen time apps punish you after the damage is done. Screenguard intervenes at the moment that matters — right before you start scrolling.

• Set daily time budgets and open limits per app
• Intention-setting prompt every time you open a guarded app
• Live countdown in the Dynamic Island so you never lose track
• Gentle nudges when you've hit your limit to help you step away
• Weekly trends with streaks, daily averages, and pickup tracking
• See your top distractors ranked by time wasted
• Track overall screen time goals to help reduce usage trends

Private & safe:

Screenguard uses Apple's Screen Time API. All monitoring and blocking happen entirely on your device. Your app usage data never leaves your phone.
