Voices
Built for people who are back in charge.
Why people seal their apps and don’t look back.
“I've installed and uninstalled four different blockers in the last two years. Each time, the pattern was the same — install, feel great for a week, hit a bad night, and remember I'm two taps from turning it off. What I actually wanted was to not have that decision available to me at 1am. That's what this does.”
“Chose 90 days. I knew I'd try to negotiate with myself after week one. The point was to make the negotiation impossible.”
“Every previous blocker had a workaround I'd found within a month. Delete the app, disable the profile, factory-reset the phone. What convinced me was reading how the passcode actually works — nobody has it, including support, until the timer ends. That's the whole thing.”
FAQ

- No. Screen Guardian doesn't touch your accounts on TikTok, Instagram, or anything else. It restricts iOS Screen Time so the apps and their web fallbacks can't open on this device for the duration you set. Your accounts sit untouched until the timer runs out.
