How Screen Star works
Three steps. You set it up once.
Answer a few questions
Tell Star when you scroll most and which apps take your time. Star shows what that habit could cost you over the years.
Example. Your number comes from your own answers.
Pick apps and set a budget
Choose apps and categories with Apple's Screen Time picker. Set one daily budget, or block on a schedule: Bedtime, Morning, Weekday work, or your own. Star tracks how close you are.
Star steps in
Open a blocked app and Star's block screen shows up instead, with one small thing to do in its place.
A block screen that feels like a friend
Pick how Star talks to you: Gentle, Sassy, Stern, or Cheerleader. Change it anytime.
Instead of the feed: a song.
Instead of the feed: a person.

Star reacts to your day
Stay under your budget and Star glows. Go over and Star gets upset, then burned out. You feel it before you read the number.
On your Home Screen
The widget shows Star's mood, your streak, and your glowing days this week, every time you unlock your phone.
Made for people who want their evenings back
You open TikTok or Instagram "for a minute" and look up an hour later.
You set a limit in Apple Screen Time and tapped Ignore.
You want a nudge that feels kind, not a lecture.
Screen Star works on your own iPhone. It is not a parental-control app.
Need an app in a real emergency? You get 3 emergency unlocks a week, 15 minutes each.

Your habits, your goals, your plan. Star will learn how you scroll and help you change it, one day at a time.
