It’s not your fault. Apps are engineered to keep you scrolling. You can’t win with willpower alone — so we changed how the apps behave.

The more you scroll, the longer the next video takes to load. Long sessions start to drag, the buzz wears off, and you naturally put the phone down.

Most apps block you and hope willpower does the rest. We make scrolling quietly less rewarding — so you stop on your own.
100% private. Built on Apple’s on-device Screen Time tech — nothing ever leaves your phone.
What early testers are saying after living with BetterScreens.
“I was astonished by how quickly I wanted to put my phone down during the tiny pauses. It didn’t take willpower — scrolling just stopped being satisfying.”
“It’s far better than the iPhone’s Downtime, which you can get past with a single tap. This actually helps you cut back for the long term — a lifestyle and habit change, not just for a day.”
“It stops you from scrolling on autopilot and makes you more mindful — and because the change is gradual, it’s the kind that actually sticks.”
No. The friction only applies to the specific apps you choose, and only during long binge sessions. Everything else on your phone stays fast and normal.
The 14-day reset challenge is free — no account or subscription required. To keep using BetterScreens after that, you’ll need Premium: Individual ($49.99/year) or Family for up to 6 people ($79.99/year). Shorter plans and a free trial on select plans are available in-app, and prices vary by region.
