Rather than forcefully blocking app access, Inscreen takes a different approach, and keeps you aware of how much time youre spending on each app.How it worksWhen you install Inscreen, you can choose which apps you find distracting, set a daily limit for those apps, and youre all set up. Once configured, the app will begin sending you alerts if youre spending too much time in one of your distracting apps.Inscreen is largely based on the idea of cognitive behavioral therapy, an approach which helps people recognize behavioral patterns. With Inscreens consistent reminders, users will gradually become more mindful of how theyre using apps, naturally reducing screen time without outright blocking any apps.It also offers great insights within the app, allowing you to have a top-down view of your device usage. Itll give you an overview, a breakdown of how you spent your time, as well as a daily progress tracker, allowing you to easily see where you succeeded or failed.Inscreen is more than just a screen time tracker. Rather, its a delightful way of reflecting on your smartphone consumption.Inscreen is available on the App Store for iPhones running iOS 17.6 and later. It costs $3.99/month, $29.99/year, or $99.99 lifetime.
