Do you charge me for going over my limit?

Never. The only money ScreenFine touches is the $1/week subscription. Overages are paid in pushups, steps, or mindful minutes.

How is this different from Opal, Brick or One Sec?

ScreenFine enforces a real OS-level lock you earn back with effort, and puts an AI villain on every slip.

Is the camera watching me all the time?

No. The camera only opens when you choose to redeem with pushups and runs entirely on-device.

Can I exempt apps like Maps, Phone or work tools?

Yes. You choose which apps are governed; essentials stay open.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. ScreenFine relies on Apple Family Controls, which is iOS-only.

$1 per week after a 7-day free trial, billed by Apple. Cancel anytime.

About ScreenFine

ScreenFine locks your apps at the OS level when you exceed your daily screen time limit. Designed for iPhone users, it helps you regain control over your device by enforcing limits that can't be ignored. Instead of swiping away reminders, you'll face real consequences—your apps shut down until you earn back access through physical activity. Choose your daily limits and the apps that distract you the most. When you go over, complete 25 pushups, walk 1,000 steps, or do a workout to unlock them. An AI villain motivates you along the way, adding a humorous twist to your accountability journey. With a simple subscription of $1 per week after a 7-day free trial, you can finally take charge of your screen time without financial penalties for overages.

Overview

Who is it for?

iPhone users seeking to control screen time and improve productivity.

Problem

ScreenFine addresses the problem of excessive screen time by enforcing strict app usage limits. Many users struggle to manage their device usage effectively, often ignoring reminders and continuing to scroll. This app provides a tangible solution by locking apps when limits are exceeded, ensuring users can't bypass the restrictions easily.

Solution

By implementing OS-level locks on chosen apps, ScreenFine prevents access once daily limits are reached. Users must then engage in physical activities to regain access, creating a direct link between their behavior and app usage. This approach not only limits screen time but also encourages healthier habits through exercise.

What makes it unique

Unlike other apps that simply remind users to stop using their devices, ScreenFine enforces real consequences with an OS-level lock. The requirement to earn back app access through physical activity adds a unique twist, making it more engaging and effective. The humorous AI villains also provide motivation and accountability, setting it apart from competitors.
