SideMission: Screen Time Quest

Swap scrolling for side quests.

Bored and doomscrolling again? SideMission is a screen time app that hands you one real thing to do instead: go outside, move, plan a date night, see friends or recharge. Pick the apps you want to block, accept a side quest matched to your mood, time and budget, and those apps stay locked until you finish it and add proof.

YOUR FIRST WEEK, PLANNED
Answer a few quick questions about your evenings, your screen time and who you do things with. Sid builds a first week of 5 to 7 real missions for you.

YOUR STORY WITH SID
Missions build chapters. Complete a few different ones, unlock the chapter's finale, play it when you're ready and keep a souvenir in Sid's collection. Progress never resets, and your past missions count toward milestones.

MISSION LOCK
On a supported iPhone, allow Screen Time and choose the apps or categories you want to block with Apple’s private picker. After setup, Mission Lock is on by default. Accept a mission and your selected apps stay blocked in full until you complete the mission and save its required proof in SideMission.

Starting the mission, opening the proof screen or waiting out the timer does not unlock your apps. If a mission expires or you abandon it, complete a replacement mission to unlock. Need access sooner? Turn Mission Lock off in SideMission Settings. This is a voluntary commitment you control.

Proof can be a photo, a location check-in or a journal note, as requested by the mission. If camera or location access is unavailable, a journal note can stand in. Proof records what you did; it is not independent verification of the activity.

Nothing is blocked before you authorize Screen Time and select apps. Mission Lock blocks the selected apps, not just scrolling or particular feeds inside them. Your selection stays on your iPhone; SideMission does not read your feeds or messages.

250 MISSIONS
Explore, move, connect, recharge, plan a date, or take a small social risk. Missions range from 15-minute resets to half-day micro-adventures.

YOUR JOURNAL, PLACES AND SAVED IDEAS
Your receipts come first, with the places you've been and a monthly recap card to share. Track estimated time reclaimed, active days and streaks in Life stats. Share a link to SideMission to keep it in Saved, then turn that idea into a mission. Every catalog mission is illustrated with a photograph.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account or sign-up
- No feed, ads, leaderboards, or guilt loops
- Profile, proof photos, and journal stay on your device unless you share
- Nearby place lookups use Apple Maps on-device; SideMission has no location server
