Take back your time from social media without sacrificing your digital life.
Your charge drains as you use distracting apps. For new blocklists, time away from those apps recharges it, up to the max charge you set.
A smarter way to manage screen time
Charge doesn't just cut you off. Your charge drains as you use distracting apps, and recharges when you step away.
Recharge on Breaks
Earn a recharge after a break from distracting apps and sites. You choose the break length and how many minutes come back.
Set Your Max Charge
Choose the most minutes your charge can hold. Recharges never take it past that limit.
Smart Blocking
When you're out of charge, Charge uses iOS Screen Time to shield the selected apps and websites while the blocklist is active.
Full Control
Choose exactly which apps, websites, and categories to track. Create multiple blocklists with different schedules and limits.
Mindful Launcher
Add supported apps to a Home Screen widget. Opening one from the widget starts a seven-second pause, then lets you decide whether to continue.
How Charge works
Your charge drains, then recharges. That's it.
Choose your apps
Pick the apps, websites, and categories you want to limit. Group them into blocklists.
Set your charge
Choose a max charge, a break length, and how many minutes a break recharges. Start with what feels right.
Use your time
Your charge drains as you use selected apps and sites. When you're out of charge, Charge asks iOS to block them while the list is active.
Recharge
Time away from selected content recharges minutes. Using it again pauses recharging until you step away.
Built on the iOS Screen Time API
Charge uses Apple's native Family Controls and Managed Settings frameworks to shield selected content. iOS monitoring and charge updates can sometimes be delayed.
