iOS screen time app for building healthier phone habits without deleting apps

Instead of relying only on hard blocking, the app uses recurring awareness prompts to help users notice their screen time and make more intentional choices in the moment.

Selling Reasoning

Lack of time

My friend and I built this app together, but he has since moved on to other things, and I've shifted my focus toward my own solo projects. We haven't been able to give it the time and attention it deserves. It's a product I'm proud of, and I believe has a lot of potential, so I'd rather see it continue to grow with someone who can give it the focus it deserves.
