Resist
Set boundaries for the apps that steal your time.
Resist lets you set a daily allowance, a break after a long session, or a quiet period for work and sleep. When you reach a limit, a short pause gives you time to decide before you continue. Check today's use and weekly patterns, while your rules and history stay on your phone.
