Your balance goes down as you use distracting apps. For new blocklists, time away from those apps earns minutes back, up to the maximum you set.
A smarter way to manage screen time
Drip doesn't just cut you off. Your balance drains as you use distracting apps, and refills when you step away.
Earn Time Back
Earn a reward after a break from distracting apps and sites. You choose the break length and how many minutes come back.
Set Your Max
Choose the most minutes your balance can hold. Break rewards never take it past that limit.
Smart Blocking
When your balance reaches zero, Drip uses iOS Screen Time to shield the selected apps and websites while the blocklist is active.
Full Control
Choose exactly which apps, websites, and categories to track. Create multiple blocklists with different schedules and limits.
Mindful Launcher
Add supported apps to a Home Screen widget. Opening one from the widget starts a seven-second pause, then lets you decide whether to continue.
Balance Ring Widget
See a blocklist balance from your Home Screen. Choose which list to show and whether to display its estimated next reward countdown.
How Drip works
Your balance drains, then refills. That's it.
Choose your apps
Pick the apps, websites, and categories you want to limit. Group them into blocklists.
Set your balance
Choose a maximum balance, a break length, and how many minutes a break earns. Start with what feels right.
Use your time
Your balance drains as you use selected apps and sites. When it reaches zero, Drip asks iOS to block them while the list is active.
Wait for the drip
Time away from selected content earns minutes back. Using it again restarts the break.
Built on the iOS Screen Time API
Drip uses Apple's native Family Controls and Managed Settings frameworks to shield selected content. iOS monitoring and balance updates can sometimes be delayed.
- Native iOS integration
- Screen Time shielding for selected content
