ScreenPace

By The Chic Artist

Productivity

ScreenPace helps you create a healthier rhythm with your iPhone—one hour at a time. It let user set small, intentional allowances for distracting apps and let ScreenPace protect the rest of your hour. When an app reaches its limit, it is shielded until the next hourly reset. Most screen time blockers enforce strict, 24-hour daily bans. But when user burns that daily limit, they are either locked out for the rest of the day or forced to disable limits entirely. ScreenPace solves this by breaking screen time into manageable hourly buffers. Enjoy short, intentional breaks throughout the day without letting a quick check turn into an lost afternoon. WHY SCREENPACE WORKS BETTER • HOURLY ALLOWANCES THAT RESET Set realistic time limits (e.g., 5 minutes per hour) for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or news apps. Your allowance automatically resets at the top of every hour, keeping you paced and present. • CUSTOM FOCUS HOURS & SCHEDULES Need uninterrupted productivity? Schedule Focus Hours for work, studying, or bedtime. ScreenPace automatically tightens allowances or completely shields apps during your core productive windows. • INTENTIONAL FRICTION OVERRIDES Emergency check needed before the top of the hour? Instead of a instant bypass button that breaks your habit, ScreenPace introduces an intentional reflection flow to prevent impulse taps. • 100% PRIVATE & ON-DEVICE Your data, screen habits, and app lists never leave your iPhone. Built natively using Apple Screen Time frameworks (FamilyControls)—zero accounts, no tracking, and 100% offline privacy. • NO SUBSCRIPTIONS — BUY ONCE, OWN FOREVER Tired of paying $10/month just to lock your own apps? ScreenPace offers a free 7-day trial and a single lifetime unlock. One payment, no recurring fees ever. Ideal for students, remote workers, creators, and anyone ready to beat doomscrolling with sustainable pacing.
