About ScreenFine
What is ScreenFine?
ScreenFine is an iOS screen-time app that blocks selected apps after a daily limit and lets users restore access through a chosen effort task.
What ScreenFine does
It uses Apple Family Controls for operating-system-level restrictions on the chosen apps. Unlock options include camera-counted pushups, verified steps, workouts, or mindful minutes. AI characters comment on overages, with streaks and optional social accountability features.
Who ScreenFine is for
It is for adults setting their own screen-time commitments and choosing which apps should be restricted.
How ScreenFine works
Users select governed apps, set daily limits, and choose a redemption method during onboarding. When a limit is exceeded, they open ScreenFine and complete the selected verification. Settings can pause the mechanism, while subscription billing continues until canceled.

Frequently asked questions
Does exceeding a limit cost money?
The site says overages have no financial charge; only the subscription is billed.
Is the camera always running?
It opens only for chosen pushup redemption, processes on-device, and stores nothing; steps and workouts do not use it.
Can essential apps remain accessible?
Users choose the governed list, and the pricing FAQ names Phone, Messages, FaceTime, and Maps as remaining accessible.
Can restrictions be paused?
Settings can stop locks immediately, but pausing does not cancel subscription billing.
Is Android supported?
An Android version is planned rather than available, since the app relies on iOS Family Controls.
What does the trial include?
A 7-day trial provides full access, then converts to the selected billing period unless canceled.
