About MeBeforeApps: Screen Time
You don't need to quit. You just need to use less. MeBeforeApps shows a pause screen before you open distracting apps, helping turn unconscious scrolling into a conscious choice. Instead of forcing you to quit, it gives you one moment to decide. One mindful choice a day can become a calmer phone routine over time. Mindful digital detox, not through willpower alone, but through awareness. A realistic way to reduce screen time without going cold turkey. This app is for you if: - You keep watching Reels or Shorts before bed - You lose time to mindless social media without noticing - You need to focus for exams, work, or studying - Full blocking feels too extreme, but you still want less screen time - You want a digital wellbeing tool built around conscious choice How it works: (1) Pick apps you open too often and set your daily goal. Add Instagram, YouTube, or any habit app, and a pause screen appears each time you open it. (2) On the pause screen, choose consciously. - Hold On: go back to home - Just a Bit: choose to proceed for a limited time (3) Review your patterns in the timeline and app detail stats. See each app's 120-day heatmap, the last 7 days of real usage time, and Insight cards that show when you open apps most. Sleep Shield Auto-blocks apps during your sleep hours. Set your schedule, days, and grace period to protect your nights from late scrolling. Focus Mode Hard block your phone whenever you need to concentrate. Exclude up to 5 apps and activate Focus Mode when it matters. Starting and ending a session is free. Pro lets you exit instantly.
