Overview

Your personal digital guardian against doomscrolling.

Guardian is your personal screen time accountability tool — built different. Most screen time apps just block websites. Guardian confronts you. When you go over your limit on YouTube, Instagram, or any site you choose, Guardian fires a fullscreen overlay with your own photos and handpicked quotes that actually mean something to you. HOW IT WORKS → Set daily time limits for any website → Upload photos that matter to you — a goal, a person, a place → When your limit hits, Guardian steps in with your image and a quote → The overlay escalates the more you ignore it → After 3 dismissals, Guardian tracks silently for the rest of the day FEATURES ✓ Track up to 3 websites ✓ Upload 3 personal photos that rotate ✓ Escalating overlays — gets bigger each time ✓ "How much more time do you need?" dialog after each intervention ✓ Kill switch — rest Guardian for today ✓ Streak counter — days under your limit ✓ Idle detection — pauses when you walk away ✓ Daily midnight reset ✓ 100% private — everything stored locally, we see nothing EARLY ACCESS Guardian is currently in Early Access. Free for all users until early October 2026.
