What is a screen time app?

A screen time app tracks and manages your daily phone usage, helping you reduce addiction and improve focus by setting limits on distracting applications.

How does Screentox help reduce screen time?

Screentox gamifies healthy phone habits by allowing users to grow a virtual succulent plant. The more you stay off your phone, the healthier your plant becomes, creating positive reinforcement for digital wellness.
