Full description

Set a time limit before you open the app, and stop doomscrolling before it starts. When you open a distracting app, PhoneLimit asks one simple question: how long do you want to use it? Pick your time, tap Start, and use the app on purpose. When your time is up, a gentle screen steps in so stopping is the easy choice. SET YOUR TIME BEFORE YOU SCROLL Choose the apps that pull you in. Every time you open one, PhoneLimit asks how many minutes you want. When time's up, you decide: close the app, or add a few more minutes on purpose. SEE HOW MANY TIMES YOU OPENED IT (PRO) See how many times you opened each app this week, and how many times you chose "just a bit more" after your time was up. Most people are surprised by the number. FAMILY MODE Set time limits for your child in advance. In family mode, starting or extending app time needs your permission with your pattern lock, so the rules stay yours. Forgot your pattern? Reset it by email. RACE YOUR FRIENDS IN ROOMS Create a room, share the invite code, and everyone competes on the same screen time leaderboard. Room members see only summary stats, and app details only if you turn them on. SEE YOUR ANALYTICS Your last 7 days at a glance: daily screen time, hourly breakdown, most-used apps and your trend. MORE WAYS TO STAY ON TRACK • Time-based restrictions: lock apps automatically during sleep, study or meal times. • Home screen widget: today's screen time without opening the app. • Chain calendar and flame badges: build a streak and unlock a new flame as it grows. • Weekly pledge (Pro): lock your daily goal for a week and earn a badge for keeping it. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 3 apps, set-your-time screen, time-based restrictions, 7-day analytics, widget, family mode, rooms, chain calendar and badges. PhoneLimit Pro (yearly): unlimited apps, open and continue counts, and the weekly pledge. YOUR PRIVACY Your detailed usage is processed on your device. Only if you use Rooms are summary stats shared, and only with the members of the rooms you join.

What's new

What's new • Rooms: create a room, share the code and see who scrolls less. Rooms replace Friends. • Chain calendar and flame badges are now free for everyone. • Fairer streaks: changing your daily goal no longer inflates past days. • Family Mode has a new blue look. The pattern lock is faster and no longer crashes • Smoother animations and other fixes.
