How it works
01 / Start hereBlock the apps. Ask your ally. Get your time back.
AppAllyApps blocked

The apps you chose
02
Ask your ally for access.
Choose someone you trust. When you need a blocked app, request a set amount of time. Your ally can approve or decline.
03
Time’s up. The block is back.
If approved, the app opens for the time your ally gives you, then blocks again automatically. If they decline, it stays blocked.
Why AppAlly exists
I used to spend hours a day on Twitter.
I’m an app addict. I know what it’s like to lose time to a feed and open it again anyway.
So I built AppAlly for everyone who struggles with app addiction: real blocks, real accountability, and support from someone you trust.
Beyond app limits
02 / Check-insIf check-ins stop, your ally knows.
After an extended period without check-ins, AppAlly alerts your ally so they can reach out. It doesn’t guess why your phone went quiet.

Checking in
01 / Steady signal
Still checking in.
Small check-ins show that your phone is connected.
Stop losing hours
Your time is yours. Take it back.
Block the apps that take over your day. Bring in someone you trust to help you stick to the limits you choose.
What your ally sees
03 / PrivacyThey see your requests. They don’t see what you do inside apps.
Your ally gets the information they need to support you. Your messages, photos, and usage reports stay private.
Your access requests
The app you identify, the time you request, and any reason you include.
Whether your phone is still checking in
They can see check-in status and receive an alert if check-ins stop. That doesn’t reveal what caused it.
Requests and decisions
Your ally can review the requests they’ve received and their responses.
Your messages, photos, and emails
Being your ally doesn’t give someone access to your personal content.
What you do inside other apps
Approving access doesn’t let your ally read, watch, or track what you do there.
Your Screen Time usage reports
Your usage summaries are generated on your iPhone, not shared with your ally.
Good to know
04 / FAQsA few useful answers.
Can I approve my own request?
Not when you send it to a human ally. They approve or decline it. AppAlly isn’t a tamper-proof lock: emergency options and changes to iOS permissions can affect blocking.
Does my ally have to pay?
No. Helping someone as an ally is free.
Who can be my ally?
A friend, a spouse, a parent, or someone else you trust. You choose the apps and send the invite. They agree to help.
What if my ally is unavailable?
Your ally can set quiet hours. Requests are paused during those hours unless they’ve enabled automatic decisions. Outside quiet hours, a request waits for their response.
Where does my Screen Time data go?
Usage reports stay on your iPhone. Account details, requests, decisions, and check-ins use our service to connect you and your ally. See our privacy policy for the details.
