Build a balance of time for the apps, websites, and categories you choose. When your balance runs out, distracting apps are blocked. Over time, your minutes drip back.
A smarter way to manage screen time
Drip doesn't just cut you off. It gives you a renewable budget that respects your autonomy while keeping you accountable.
Interval Replenishment
Your screen time balance automatically refills at intervals you choose. Set it to drip minutes back every hour, every few hours, or daily.
Max Capacity
Set a ceiling on how many minutes you can bank. Your balance fills up but never overflows, keeping healthy limits in place.
Smart Blocking
When your balance hits zero, distracting apps and websites are blocked using the native iOS Screen Time API. No workarounds.
Full Control
Choose exactly which apps, websites, and categories to track. Create multiple blocklists with different schedules and limits.
How Drip works
A simple cycle that keeps your screen time in check without rigid, all-or-nothing blocking.
Choose your apps
Pick the apps, websites, and categories you want to limit. Group them into blocklists.
Set your balance
Configure your max capacity and how often minutes are added back. Start with what feels right.
Use your time
Your balance ticks down as you use distracting apps. When it hits zero, they're blocked.
Wait for the drip
At each interval, more minutes are added to your balance. Your access replenishes 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.
