Short reads for shorter screen time.
A one-minute guide to every feature: what it does, when it's useful, and how to set it up. Longer essays live on the blog.
Folders, not just apps
Group every social app into one lock. One key, one seal, no picking them off one at a time.
Schedules that lock themselves
Set a window, school hours, work hours, after 10pm, and Screeny locks and unlocks on its own. No key needed to start.
Daily limits
Give an app a budget instead of a ban. Once you're out of time, it locks until your key brings it back tomorrow.
Hardcore mode
Deleting Screeny won't lift the block. If you're serious about a limit, Screeny is serious about holding it.
Timed unlock
Need the app for fifteen minutes, not forever? Unlock on a timer and Screeny relocks itself when time is up.
NFC, QR, or barcode keys
Any NFC tag, any QR code, any barcode you already own becomes the one way back into a locked app.
Private by design
No accounts, no ads. Everything Screeny knows about your apps and your screen time lives only on your device.
