Best Accountability Apps for Phone Addiction

Devendra Variya · · 1 min read

Accountability beats private timers because someone (or something) sees the slip.

Options: partner sharing, public walls, money stakes (Forfeit / StickK), exercise stakes (ScreenFine). ScreenFine's Wall of Shame and partner mode are built for social cost without charging your card on overage.

See partner mode messaging on the site and commitment devices.

ScreenFine is $1/week via Apple. Going over your daily limit locks the apps you chose until you redeem with verified effort (25 camera pushups or squats, 1,000 steps, a workout, or mindful minutes). Slips are behavioural -- not card charges. Try ScreenFine or see pricing.
