A smarter way to manage screen time

Drip doesn't just cut you off. Your balance drains as you use distracting apps and refills over time — so you stay in control without going cold turkey.

Automatic Refills

Your balance refills on its own. Set how many minutes drip back and how often — like +5 min every hour.

Set Your Max

Choose the most minutes your balance can hold. It refills over time but never goes past your limit.

Smart Blocking

When your balance hits zero, distracting apps are blocked at the system level. No workarounds.

Full Control

Choose exactly which apps, websites, and categories to track. Create multiple blocklists with different schedules and limits.

How Drip works

Your balance drains, then refills. That's it.

Choose your apps

Pick the apps, websites, and categories you want to limit. Group them into blocklists.

Set your balance

Choose your max and how often minutes refill — like +5 min every hour or 30 minutes every two hours. Start with what feels right.

Use your time

Your balance drains as you use distracting apps. When it hits zero, they're blocked.

Wait for the drip

Minutes drip back into your balance over time. Your access comes back naturally.

Built on the iOS Screen Time API

Drip uses Apple's native Family Controls and Managed Settings frameworks. Blocking is enforced at the system level — no VPN, no proxy, no workarounds.
