About this app

Goodwhile is an app blocker built around a simple idea: a promise. Pick the apps and websites you want a break from. Pick how long — an evening, a weekend, a whole month. Pick how strict. Then make your promise, and Goodwhile keeps your word with Apple's Screen Time technology: your chosen apps are shielded until the time you set, and the shield lifts on its own the moment your promise is kept. No accounts. No tracking. Your list of apps never leaves your phone. WHY PROMISES WORK Willpower runs out; a promise doesn't have to. Deciding once — calmly, ahead of time — beats deciding a hundred times a day with the feed one tap away. Goodwhile turns that one good decision into a quiet shield that lasts exactly as long as you chose. CHOOSE YOUR STRICTNESS • Flexible — release your promise anytime. A gentle nudge. • Steady — ask to release, then a 24-hour cooling-off before you can confirm. Enough friction to outlast the craving. • Ironclad — no way to release in the app until your promise is done. Your word, given once. MAKE IT FIT YOUR LIFE • Stack up to 10 promises, each with its own apps, duration, and strictness — social apps for a week, games for a month. • Exact durations from 15 minutes to a year — not just preset chips. • Block websites too, right alongside apps. • Saved batches — reuse your "doomscroll bundle" with one tap. • Start-later promises — commit tonight to a promise that starts Monday morning. • Recurring promises — the same quiet windows every week, like evenings after 9pm. SEE WHAT YOU'VE GAINED • Days kept — your streak of promises honored. • Time given back — the hours your shields have quietly returned to you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything about your promises stays on your device. Apple's Screen Time technology means Goodwhile never even sees a readable list of your apps — and nothing about them is ever transmitted anywhere. The only data that leaves your phone is standard purchase information if you subscribe. FREE TO START — PRO REQUIRES A PURCHASE Your first 7 promises (up to 24 hours each) are free — honored forever, no strings. The features below require a Goodwhile Pro subscription or one-time purchase: promises longer than 24 hours, stacked promises, recurring promises, start-later promises, and unlimited batches. Goodwhile Pro is $4.99/week with a 3-day free trial, $29.99/year, or $79.99 once, forever. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage them in your Apple account settings. A note on honesty: Goodwhile uses Apple's Screen Time system, and you always stay in control of your own device — we don't claim to be impossible to get around. What we offer is a promise that's hard enough to break that you'll usually decide to keep it. That turns out to be enough. Step away for a good while. We'll keep your word. — Terms of Use: https://vikicorehq.github.io/goodwhile/terms/ EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://vikicorehq.github.io/goodwhile/privacy/

Baseline captured. Growth appears after the crawler observes a changed rating count.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
