Screen Tariff

The app blocker with a price of entry

Sanction Your
Distractions

Screen Tariff puts a short ad break between you and your most distracting apps. Not a wall, just enough friction to make you think twice.

Free. No signup. Setup takes under 30 seconds.

How it works

Create a rule, called a sanction, for each app you want to manage.

1

Sanction an app

Pick a distracting app and choose a buffer of 15, 30 or 60 seconds.

2

Wait out the buffer

Opening it starts an ad break the length of your buffer: a moment between impulse and action.

3

Unlock on your terms

Unlock it for 1 to 60 minutes. When time is up, it relocks automatically.

Built around you

Every sanction is customizable to your habits and your goals.

Insights

Weekly summaries of your sessions, time unlocked, and the ad breaks you walked away from.

Relock warning

Get a heads-up before a session ends, at a time you choose.

Express Pass

In a hurry? Skip the ad break. Up to two passes, each recharging 24 hours after use.

Dynamic Sanctioning

Loosen or tighten a sanction by day of the week, or snooze it for the day.

No noise. No gimmicks.

A clean, focused tool that does exactly what it needs to do, and nothing more. Your data stays on your device.
