Get your time back.

Screen Time shows you a number and lets you set a limit you can dismiss in one tap. HourBack gives you a plan: it starts at your real usage, lowers your limit week by week, puts a 5-second pause between you and any unlock, and pairs the blocking with a guided habit program so the change actually sticks. It's built on the same Apple technology, it just does the part Apple leaves to your willpower.

Yes, unless you don't want to. By default, hitting a block opens a 5-second countdown you can't skip; after it, you can unlock the apps for 1, 5 or 10 minutes. Turn on Strict mode and that escape hatch disappears entirely, blocked apps stay blocked until the limit or schedule lifts on its own.

No. Your screen time is read through Apple's Screen Time framework, which keeps the data inside a sandbox on your device that developers cannot read.

$39.99 a year (that's $3.33 a month, a 44% saving) or $5.99 a month. Both start with free trial, and you can cancel any time from your Apple ID settings.

Check off a habit and it counts; check off every habit on your list and the day joins your streak. Those check-offs are the currency: 5 of them opens the rainbow, 100 opens the sky that follows the real hour of the day, sunrise through night, with colours and block-screen backgrounds in between. Nothing is ever taken back, so a bad week costs you the streak, never the rewards.

No. There's no sign-up, no email and no password. You open the app, tell it your name, and start.

The blocks stop and everything stored on your device goes with it, your limit, habits, streaks and history. Since nothing is on a server, there's nothing to delete anywhere else, and nothing to restore if you reinstall.
