Screen Time Buddy combines app blocking, gamification, social accountability, and real-world rewards into one app that actually works.
When you hit your limit, Screen Time Buddy doesn’t just show a generic ‘time’s up’ message. It shows your own words — the reasons you wrote for wanting less screen time. Your streak, your coins at risk, your tree progress. Every message is personalized. Every detail is designed to make you pause and reconsider.
Pick from 5 characters — Eagle, Fox, Bear, Panda, or Sloth — each with a different daily goal and coin reward. The harder your goal, the more you earn. Level up your discipline, not your screen time.
Create a group with friends, family, or coworkers. See each other’s streaks in real time. Compete on a shared leaderboard. Send encouragement when someone’s struggling. Request extra time from the group when you need it.
We know the feeling. You’ve opened the blocking screen 6 times and you’re about to give in. The Panic Button is there for exactly this moment.
When your brain craves stimulation, give it a mind game instead of a social media feed. Six games designed to engage focus, pattern recognition, memory, and reaction time — without the addictive loop. And every game earns coins.
Screen Time Buddy’s currency system — coins and seeds — connects your daily habits to something bigger. Seeds plant real trees through verified reforestation partners. Your 30-day streak isn’t just a number. It’s a tree in the ground.
Complete 8 simple tasks on your home screen — things like ‘Why do you want less screen time?’ and ‘Who motivates you?’ — and we use your answers to personalize every blocking message, every redirect, every nudge. Your app becomes yours.
