New: Family mode. Get alerted the moment an app is installed or a setting changes on your kid's device — real visibility, not a dashboard that stays silent.

SproutGuard helps you reduce doomscrolling, stay focused, and build healthier screen habits with Apple Screen Time.

Pick the apps you want to block, create focus rules, track your screen time, and build daily focus streaks as you become more intentional with your phone usage.

What you get for free:

- App blocking powered by Apple Screen Time<br>- Create a blocking rule for distracting apps<br>- Daily screen time and app usage tracking<br>- Daily focus streaks to keep you motivated<br>- Gentle reminders to help you stay on track

Unlock more with SproutGuard Premium:

- Create unlimited blocking rules<br>- Full weekly insights and usage trends over time<br>- All block screen activities, including the Math Game

PRIVATE & SECURE

SproutGuard uses Apple's Screen Time API. Monitoring and blocking run on your device, and your Screen Time data is handled through Apple's system permissions.

Premium is available as an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.<br>You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
