About Social app blocker - Sheppie
Shepherd is the first app blocker with built-in social accountability. You invite a trusted friend or family member to be your "Shepherd." They help you stick to the goals you set by locking your limits, making them impossible to change or delete without their approval. KEY FEATURES: SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY: Invite a Shepherd to lock your limits and keep you on track. POWERFUL BLOCKING: Set daily time limits for distracting apps and websites. PRIVACY-FOCUSED: Your Shepherd can see your limit settings (e.g., "Social Media - 1 Hour") but NEVER your specific app usage or browsing history. Your data is private. STAY IN CONTROL: You set the goals. Your Shepherd provides the support. HOW OUR SUBSCRIPTION WORKS: For Users: A Shepherd Premium subscription is required to set and manage your own screen time limits. For Shepherds: Being an accountability partner is 100% FREE. No subscription is needed to help a friend. Stop fighting the battle against distraction alone. Download Shepherd and reclaim your focus today.
