Roadmap

I use my phone too much and I have for a while. In 2019 I deleted all social media for a year. In 2023 I built my first screentime app, though it was pretty much the same as every other Apple Screentime API app (Opal, BePresent, Brainrot, Clearspace, Screenzen, OneSec, Forest, AppBlock, Refocus). I don't like how every single one has an easy escape. Apple forces it.

I've always wanted to build the best way to manage screentime, across all my devices. That means no way to get around it from your phone, no easy unlocks, no gimmicks. Timeback is that.

Here is the plan to make it the best (don't tell the competition).

  1. iPhone blocking, controlled by your Mac (out now)
  2. Use that money to support all devices
    • Control from PC
    • Android
    • Change blocks without the cable
  3. Use that money to block the same things on your computer as on your phone
  4. While doing the above, close all loopholes
