Apps like social media use powerful psychological tricks to make you unable to stay away from them for too long. Burnout Buddy blocks these apps when you don't want to use them to help you break free and heal their impact on your mental health.
* Fight social media addiction
* Reduce screen time and improve your focus
* Multiple blocking mechanisms
* Completely free for most use cases
* No account creation or shady VPNs
Burnout Buddy is stronger than your iPhone's native Screen Time controls. Designed specifically with social media addiction and unhealthy work habits in mind, it offers a wider variety of blocking mechanisms and allows you to be extremely specific regarding how access to a specific group of apps and websites should be restricted. If you already use Burnout Buddy, keep an eye out for updates that add even more blocking mechanisms and customization points!

Owner not responding, not getting the service I paid for!
Don’t spend your money on this app. I’ve had numerous issues where it fails to block my selected apps unless I block an entire category. If you want to block only specific apps, this app is not for you; it only works well if you intend to block all your apps. While Strict Mode is decent, the app’s main purpose—to block apps and websites—falls short.
I’ve reached out to the support team multiple times but received no response, despite being polite and detailed in my explanations. I initially purchased this app to support a service that offers free usage with few restrictions, which I appreciated. However, the app simply doesn’t work as advertised. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue and get what I paid for, I’ve had no success in getting a response from the owner.
Great app
Only app on this store that isn’t garbage works great and is free!
Amazing app
helps keep my phone use down
Great App, add warning?
Love this app,
Only one that actually works and keeps me off of time wasting apps when I would like to be doing other things. I will never be without this app on my devices. Makes me feel like I am finally in control of the how I choose to use my devices.
I was just wondering if there is a warning feature? I have a schema that blocks games after 30 minutes. It would be nice is there was an option to pick a number of minutes to give yourself a warning, something like, “This app will be blocked in __ minutes”.
Great app- some bugs
The app worked smoothly for the first month of use but it will no longer block the games on my phone under any conditions. Please check out this bug. Other than this I am a huge fan of this app- it performs reliably and smoothly.
Great app
This app has helped me take control over my social media addiction even with free version
Thank you People !
Great app!!
Helped a lot with my mindless scrolling and procrastinating, great job!
Increased my productivity at work!!
I’m now allowed to use Twitter for only 30 min a day 😅
I love that we can add endless possibilities on how to customize the usage time of any app!
I can’t believe this app exists
I’ve been dreaming of something like this for YEARS! Been trying to limit my social media use with standard Screen Time tools with fairly elaborate setups, but it always fell apart from being either too strict, or too open. I set up 1 filter that blocks the various social media/entertainment apps/websites I use on a schedule and my mind was blown. I really hope that Apple improves the integration, cause the UX (on their end) is a bit rough, but I’ll still take it over standard Screen Time any day. Also, and I’m not sure if that’s possible, but I’d love to see this on macOS as well. Thank you so much for making this!
