Screen time app alternatives for iPhone

We read each app’s App Store listing and, where it has one, its own site on Oct 20, 2026. We haven’t used every app for weeks, so each note says what the vendor documents and what we couldn’t confirm. Champ makes this site, and its row was last checked against the app on Oct 13, 2026, so read it the way you’d read any vendor describing itself. There are no prices, plans or ratings here, Champ’s included.

• one sec alternatives for iPhone

  ScreenZen is the closest one sec alternative on iPhone: a wait before each open that can grow longer every time. ClearSpace and Phoneless Garden also pause first. Champ fills the pause with a 30-second reset and opens a flower when you finish. If you want apps locked for set hours, look at Jomo, Opal or Freedom.

• Opal alternatives for iPhone

  Jomo is the closest Opal alternative on iPhone: Screen Time blocking for the hours you set, with block screens and mindful breaks. Freedom adds a VPN for websites and covers your computer. BePresent keeps the streaks and leaderboards. ScreenZen and one sec slow each open instead. Champ meets the open with a 30-second reset and a garden.

• Gamified screen time apps for iPhone

  Forest is the classic: a tree grows while you stay off your phone and withers if you leave. Opal and BePresent add scores, streaks and leaderboards. Unrot makes you earn app time with real tasks, and Bloom grows flowers when you keep your limits. Champ rewards the pause itself: each 30-second reset opens a flower.

• Apps that grow a garden when you use your phone less

  Forest is the original: a tree grows during a focus session and withers if you leave. Flora works the same way, with friends. Bloom, Overgrow and Phoneless Garden grow plants when you keep your daily limits. Champ is the odd one out: its garden grows from 30-second resets and daily self-care, not from time away.

Champ is one entry on each page. If its 30-second reset sounds like your shape, try it on your iPhone.
