Ask Friends for Screen Time
Free · In-App Purchases
Join 100,000+ users who cut screen time by 60%. Your friends become your lock screen. Set limits, get accountability, reclaim your day.
Friend Controls is the screen time app that actually works. Set your daily limits, and when time runs out, your real friends decide if you get more. No algorithms. No willpower tricks. Just real social accountability.
Unlike every other screen time app you have tried, Friend Controls puts your friends in charge. The result? Users reduce screen time by an average of 60%.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Download and choose which apps you want to limit.
2. Set your daily screen time for each app.
3. Invite friends to be your buddies.
4. When your time runs out, the app locks. Want more? Send a request to your friends.
5. Your friends see your request and decide: approve or deny. No mercy required.
That is it. Simple, social, and surprisingly effective.
KEY FEATURES
App Blocking That Works: Choose any app on your phone to restrict. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, dating apps, or anything else draining your hours.
Real Friend Accountability: Your friends are not bots or timers you can snooze. They are real people who can say no.
Request and Approve System: Run out of time? Send a plea to your Controllers. Make your case. Accept their judgment.
Usage Tracking: See exactly how much time you spend on each app. Daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns so you can track your progress.
Focus and Study Mode: Block distracting apps during study sessions, work hours, or any time you need to concentrate.
Privacy First: We do not sell your data. We do not track what you do inside apps. We only monitor time spent so your friends can help you stay on track.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Students who need to focus during exam season. Couples who want to spend less time on their phones together. Friends who want to hold each other accountable. Anyone who has tried every screen time app and failed. People who know they waste hours every day but cannot stop on their own.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT
Research shows that social accountability is one of the most powerful behavior change tools. When someone else is watching, you try harder. Friend Controls takes that principle and puts it in your pocket.
