About MomWasRight: Earn Screen Time
It's that damn phone. You said you'd "just check one thing." Three hours later, you're watching a 19-year-old explain why marriage is a scam. Mom saw this coming. The phone is rotting your brain. MomWasRight is a screen time control app that treats your phone like a privilege, not a right. Want Instagram? Earn it. Want TikTok? Do something useful first. Mom is watching. Mom is judging. Mom is not wrong. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that eat up your time • Get a daily scroll allowance — once it runs out, those apps lock • Complete habits to earn more screen time • Tap "Use Scroll Time" when you're ready to unlock your apps • When your time runs out, the session ends. No exceptions. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Set goals. Build habits. Go outside once in a while (metaphorically or literally — Mom just wants you moving). Every habit you complete earns you more minutes on your phone. Skip your habits, and you'll be staring at a locked screen instead. This is screen time control with real consequences. MEET MOM Choose your Mom persona — from gentle reminders to full savage mode, it's your call. Mom sends reminders, gentle guilt trips, and the occasional compliment when you actually get something done. Pick from multiple Mom personalities, because everyone responds to a different kind of nagging. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED MomWasRight requires a paid auto-renewable subscription after any offered free trial. Choose Weekly or Annual; both unlock all app features. Your exact trial, price, billing, and renewal terms are shown before purchase. FEATURES • Real app lock powered by Apple's Screen Time API — no workarounds, no "just five more minutes" • Daily scroll allowance plus an earned time pool for genuine screen time control • Goals, habits, and streaks (yes, Mom tracks those too) • Daily challenges — phone detox, deep focus sessions, habit streaks • Usage stats that show you exactly how much time you're losing to brain rot • Bedtime mode, because scrolling reels at 2am isn't self-care • Two locking modes: usage-based (tracks real Screen Time data) or a strict countdown timer • Live Activity timers to keep your focus habits on track • Emergency overrides, tracked and logged — Mom always knows THE RULES ARE SIMPLE No habits, no scroll time. Mom was right. It was always the phone. MomWasRight runs on Apple's Screen Time APIs for real app lock and screen time control. Your data stays on your device — we don't sell your information. We just want you to put the phone down and go live your life. Terms of Service: https://shiftpace.xyz/terms
