+100 SeedsHow It Works
Pick Your Character
Choose from 5 characters. Each one has a daily screen time goal and coin reward.
Block the Noise
Select which apps to block. When you try to open them, you'll see your own words staring back at you.
Join a Group
Add friends. See each other's streaks. Climb the leaderboard. No one wants to be the one who broke the streak.
Grow a Real Forest
Stay under your limit, collect coins. Coins turn into seeds, and seeds plant real trees in the ground.
A Blocking Screen That Actually Works.
Most blockers show a generic “time's up” message. Screen Time Buddy shows YOUR words — the reason you wanted to stop.
Personalized Messages
Write your own blocking message. See your own words when you reach for a blocked app.
Multi-Layer Protection
Multiple layers of blocking make it harder to give in to temptation.
Panic Button
Need to access a blocked app urgently? The panic button gives you a short window.
Breathing Exercises
Guided breathing exercises help you ride out the urge instead of giving in.
