About BrainSober: Less Screen Time
Brain rot? Not today. BrainSober blocks the apps that eat your day and lets you earn screen time back in real life. Take a walk, read or move to earn Focus Credits, then spend them to open an app on purpose instead of on autopilot. BrainSober Pro is a paid subscription, weekly or annual. Prices are shown in the app before you confirm with Apple. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that pull you in. Apple's private Screen Time picker means we never see which ones. • Set a daily allowance and a protected time window, like your evenings. • When your time is up, the apps pause. • Do something real to earn more: 10 minutes offline = 1 Focus Credit. • Spend 3 credits to unlock your apps for 15 minutes. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Take a walk, read offline, move your body, tidy your space or start a focus session. Each reset earns up to 3 Focus Credits and restores your Brain Energy. WATCH YOUR BRAIN RECOVER Meet Brio, your little brain buddy. Every scroll drains Brain Energy, and real life recharges it. Brio shows how you're doing at a glance, without guilt trips. LIMITS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE • Daily allowance from 15 minutes to 4 hours • Protected hours that match your routine • Gentle, Standard or Strict protection • Weekly attention score and offline reset history PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account needed • We never see which apps you choose • Your plan and activity history stay on your iPhone SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS BrainSober Pro is required for app protection, Focus Credits, unlocks and progress tracking. No free trial is offered. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
