Tapout turns cutting screen time into a game you play together. Invite anyone — friends, family, co‑workers — then challenge each other to stay off the apps that eat your day. You pick the reward. They earn it.
iOS · Built on Apple Screen Time · Real app blocking, not an honor system
Send an invite to anyone with an iPhone — your group chat, your team, your family. Everyone lands on one shared account, and everyone gets the same powers.
Session length, sessions per day, total to win, time windows — you set every parameter. The reward is whatever you’d actually give: brunch, concert tickets, gas money, bragging rights.
Start a session and your distracting apps actually lock — powered by Apple Screen Time, not willpower. Finish your sessions and the reward flips to ready. Then it’s on them to pay up.
During a session, blocked apps are actually locked via Apple Screen Time. No honor system, no “just five more minutes.”
A camping trip, courtside seats, twenty bucks, dish duty for a week. If it motivates your person, it counts.
Time saved, sessions done, streaks kept — the whole account sees who showed up this week.
Every challenge is tuned to its person: which apps, how long, how often, and what winning is worth.
Anyone on the account can challenge anyone else on the account — friend to friend, co‑worker to co‑worker, kid to parent. Challenges can be one‑on‑one or set for the whole group.
Tapout is built on Apple’s Screen Time framework. When a session is running, the apps you’ve chosen are shielded at the system level — opening one shows a “Tapped Out!” screen instead. When the session ends, everything unlocks.
Anything you’re willing to give. Rewards are freeform — people use brunches, tickets, cash, chores, road trips, and plain bragging rights. Tapout tracks when it’s earned; you deliver it in real life.
Not easily. Sessions are enforced by the operating system, not self‑reported. Progress only counts when a session actually completes on the device.
Tapout is on iPhone today. One subscription covers your whole account, no matter how many people you bring in.

Anyone can challenge anyone.
There’s no boss and no babysitter. Everyone on your account can invite people and challenge people — one‑on‑one or the whole group at once. You decide the reward, the stakes, and the rules. Tapout keeps score.
Friends
Group challenges with real stakes. Everyone puts their scroll time on the line; the leaderboard settles who’s all talk.
Co‑workers
Turn focus into a team sport. Challenge the desk next to you to a distraction‑free sprint and let the loser cover coffee.
Family
Skip the nagging. Set a challenge, name a reward worth wanting, and let them earn it — kids can even challenge parents back.
