Real blocks, not reminders
When it’s blocked, it stays blocked.
Limit hands your rules to iOS through Apple’s Screen Time. Open a blocked app and you get a calm pause screen instead of your feed — with a nudge to do something better.
- Keeps working even when Limit is closed
- Blocks apps, whole categories and websites in Safari
- A quote on every block that makes you think twice
Daily goal
Set a daily goal. Watch the sand.
Choose the most screen time you want each day. The hourglass shows how much is left — mint while you’re on track, amber when you’re close, coral when you’re over.

Privacy
Your screen time stays on your phone.
Blocking is done by iOS itself. Your screen time data never leaves your phone, and Limit can’t see what you do in other apps.
Built on Apple Screen Time
Limit uses Apple’s Screen Time API, the same system behind Screen Time in Settings.
No account, no sign-up
Open the app and start blocking. There’s nothing to register.
Private by design
Apple shares the apps you pick with Limit only as anonymous tokens, never as a list of what you use.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is Limit free?
Yes. Limit is free to download and includes your first blocking session and your first app limit. Limit Pro unlocks unlimited sessions and app limits. Purchases are handled by Apple, and you can cancel a subscription anytime in your iPhone settings.
How does Limit block apps on iPhone?
Limit uses Apple’s Screen Time API. When a block is active, iOS itself shields the apps and websites you picked, so the block holds even when Limit is closed.
Can I block TikTok, Instagram or YouTube?
Yes, any app on your iPhone or iPad: social media like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and X, video apps like YouTube and Netflix, games, shopping apps and more. You can also block a whole category at once.
Can Limit block websites?
Yes. Next to apps and app categories, you can add websites to any block, and Limit blocks them in Safari too.
Can Limit see my data?
No. Blocking is done by iOS itself. Your screen time data never leaves your phone, and Limit can’t see what you do in other apps. Apple shares the apps you pick with Limit only as anonymous tokens.
What happens when I open a blocked app?
Instead of the app, you see Limit’s block screen with a short nudge and a quote about time. Tap Close to go back.
Can Limit help me sleep better?
Yes. Add a recurring session like Sleep Well, from 23:00 to 06:30, and the apps that keep you up are blocked every night, automatically.
Does Limit work on iPad?
Yes. Limit works on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 16.1 or later.
Blocking stopped working. What can I do?
Apple’s Screen Time sometimes loses its connection to Limit. Open Limit, tap the ? button on the Sessions screen and choose Reset blocking, or follow the steps on our support page.
Which languages does Limit speak?
English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Make every grain count.
Your time is the one thing you can’t get back. Spend it on purpose.
