Upfront
Do the good stuff, then scroll.
Upfront locks the apps that eat your day and lets you earn the time back. Do a set of squats, answer five quick questions or go for a walk, and the minutes are yours to spend.
Upfront Premium is available as a yearly, monthly, weekly or Family subscription.

Help and privacy
Your screen time stays on your iPhone: Apple draws the Screen Time charts, and Upfront never sees the numbers. Apple Health, the microphone and Move’s camera are used on your iPhone only. Anonymous usage counts help set fair prices, and you can turn them off in Settings › Privacy. Kid mode never sends them.
