Opening budgets
Choose how many times an app can be opened each day.
A different kind of screen time limit
Every open becomes a choice.
AppLimiter gives distracting apps a daily opening budget — not another invisible pool of minutes. See what's left before you enter, then decide if it's worth it.

Why openings work
Minutes disappear. Openings make you pause.
A time limit fades into the background while you scroll. An opening limit meets you at the door — while there is still time to turn around.
