Awaytime: screen-time control for a more intentional phone day
Awaytime is an iOS app for people who want to manage distracting apps, app categories, and web domains. Set a daily limit or a recurring schedule, then use the app’s visual fox and usage views to understand how your phone habits change. Awaytime is a tool for digital wellbeing, not a promise that a device can never be accessed.
View Awaytime on the App Store to check the supported device requirements, current features, and regional in-app purchase options.
What Awaytime does
- Manage selected apps: choose individual apps that you want to limit during the day or during a scheduled focus period.
- Manage categories and domains: apply the same idea to groups of apps and selected web domains using Apple’s Screen Time and Family Controls tools.
- Set daily limits: define how much time a selected group should be available, then review usage against that limit.
- Use Smart Schedules: create recurring windows for routines such as work, study, bedtime, or a custom time period.
- Review patterns: use screen-time views to see where your time goes.
- See visual feedback: the fox changes state as usage moves through the day’s goal, making the current position easier to notice.
How it works
- 1. Pick what you want to manage. Select apps, categories, or web domains that commonly interrupt work, study, rest, or time with other people.
- 2. Choose a limit or schedule. Set a daily allowance for the selected content or define recurring times when it should be blocked.
- 3. Check the result. Review the usage view and fox state, then adjust the limit or schedule when your routine changes. Apple permissions and device settings determine how blocking behaves.
