Screen DemonsYour phone is feeding a demon.
Screen Demons helps you starve it. Put a coffee on it with friends, build streaks, and take a breath before the apps that pull you in.
Hmm. A snack. I’m still hungry.
of your life on your phone, from age 25 to 80. That’s 25% of your waking hours.
Set up in a minute.
Your demon does the watching.
Let it watch your total
Allow Screen Time once. Your daily total powers your demon’s mood, your streak and your challenges. Nothing about individual apps is collected.
Challenge a friend
Go no-phone, cut your time by an hour, or skip social media. Pick what’s at stake, from a coffee to a dare, and send it.
Watch the demon shrink
Every calm day keeps your demon small and your streak alive. Win and your friend owes you. Lose and there’s always a rematch.
Put a coffee on it.
Challenge anyone on your friends list or in your circles. Whoever uses their phone least wins, and the loser pays the stake.

Your apps stay yours
Screen Demons is built so it doesn’t need to know more than it has to.
Only totals are shared
Friends and circles see your daily total, nothing about which apps you use.
No ads, no selling data
We don’t run ads or sell your information. Ever.
Analytics is opt-in
Anonymous usage stats stay off unless you say yes, and you can turn them off any time.
Delete anytime
Delete your account from Profile. It’s gone for good after 24 hours. How it works
Does Screen Demons see which apps I use?
No. Only your daily screen-time total is shared, with friends you challenge and circles you join. Which apps you use never leaves your phone. The apps you choose for mindful pauses stay on your device.
Is it free?
It’s free to download. An optional Premium subscription is on the way, and the details will be in the app before anything is charged.
Is it on Android?
iPhone is available now. Android is coming soon: join the waitlist below and we’ll email you the day it’s live.
Why does it need Screen Time access?
Your daily total is what powers your demon’s mood, your streak and challenges with friends. Without it there’s nothing to measure, so it’s the one permission the app requires. Notifications and mindful pauses are optional.
How do mindful pauses work?
You pick the apps you open without thinking. When you open one, Screen Demons shows a short guided reset, then you choose to close the app or continue. On Android this uses Accessibility, only to notice which of your chosen apps is in front. It never reads what’s on your screen.
What if a friend doesn’t have the app?
Challenges are between people in the app, so send them your invite link and they can join in a minute.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, any time from Profile. Your account and data are permanently deleted 24 hours later, and you can restore it in that time if you change your mind. See how deletion works.
