Take control of your screen time by blocking the apps that pull you away from what matters. Free Time helps you stay focused by requiring a mindful pause before opening distracting apps.

Build Healthy Phone Habits

Break the cycle of mindless scrolling with puzzles and mindful activities. Each time you want to unlock an app, you'll engage in a brief activity that creates a moment of awareness.

We Never Kick You Off

Unlike aggressive app blockers that force you off apps, Free Time helps you find balance. Once you unlock an app by completing a puzzle, you can use it for your chosen duration without interruption.

Get back your Free Time

Are you addicted to your phone?

Hi! I'm Nicole Kelner. I'm a full-time artist based in Brooklyn.

I created Free Time because I was feeling hooked on social media when I needed to share my art. I wanted a way to use my phone for work without getting distracted. So I built an app to help me feel more balanced and use my phone with intention.

Free Time just launched this week, and I hope it helps you spend less time on your screen and more time doing what matters most to you.

An app you use
less and less each day

We use psychology, mindfulness, and habit tracking to help you reduce your screen time in a gentle way.
