screen time app for iPhone
Interrupt autopilot scrolling before it starts.
Intervener steps in before selected distracting apps and asks you to complete a short activity, such as breathing, squats or a math problem. You can still continue afterward, but the pause gives you a moment to choose intentionally.

Quick answer
How does Intervener help reduce screen time?
Intervener inserts a brief activity before you open a selected distracting app. Unlike a hard app blocker, it gives you the choice to continue after the activity and tracks the time you save when you decide not to open the app.
How it works
A useful result in three clear steps.
The app handles the fast first pass. You keep control of the final check, especially when condition, safety or accuracy matters.
Pick an activity
Choose a short breathing, movement or brain exercise for the intervention.
Decide after the pause
Continue to the app or skip it, then review the time you have reclaimed.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you download.
Short, specific answers about what Intervener can—and cannot—do.
Is Intervener an iPhone app blocker?
Intervener is softer than a permanent blocker. It places a short activity before a selected app, then lets you decide whether to continue.
What happens before I open a distracting app?
Intervener can prompt a short breathing exercise, movement activity or math problem before allowing you to continue.
Can Intervener track time saved?
Yes. The current listing says it tracks time saved when you choose not to open an app after an intervention.
Will Intervener completely lock me out of an app?
That is not its core approach. It is designed to create friction and a conscious decision, not to describe an irreversible lockout.
Is Intervener free?
Intervener is free to download. The App Store listing offers optional weekly, yearly and lifetime purchase options; Apple shows current prices before purchase.
