When you hit your limit on the apps that eat your day, Sharp turns the urge to scroll into 90 seconds on what's actually happening in the world — then you've earned your time back.
Set it once — protection runs itself. No Shortcuts, no setup. Available now on iPhone.
Feeds are engineered by thousand-person teams to be unputdownable. Your built-in screen-time limit is one tap to dismiss — so it gets dismissed. The result is a quiet, daily kind of guilt.
The average phone gets unlocked 100+ times a day. It isn't a choice — it's a reflex wired straight into your dopamine system.
Hard blockers just slam a door. With nothing to fill the gap, you tap "ignore limit" and relapse in seconds. Willpower-only doesn't scale.
You mean to stay informed — but the feed wins every time. The intention to know what's going on quietly loses to the algorithm.
What if the thing standing between you and your feed wasn't a wall — but a trade?
Sharp doesn't punish the urge. It redirects it. The same impulse that opens Instagram now buys you 90 seconds of genuinely knowing what's happening in the world. You don't lose time — you trade it up. The block becomes a reward.
Open a guarded app past your daily cap and Sharp steps in — calm, not scolding.
Ten quick cards on what's happening — finance, tech, world, tailored to your interests.
Five fast questions confirm it stuck. Instant feedback fires the dopamine, not the doubt.
Nail it and your apps unlock. Your streak grows. You walk away a little sharper.
Pick the apps that eat your day and set a daily limit — that's the whole setup. Sharp uses Apple's Screen Time engine to watch for the limit and step in on its own. No Shortcuts to wire up, no automations, nothing to remember.
The moment you answer, the card turns green and the explanation lands. That little hit of "I knew that" is the same reward loop the feed uses — pointed at something that actually makes your day better.
Every session ends with XP counting up, your streak ticking, your league rank in view. Small, honest wins that compound — so coming back tomorrow feels good, not like a chore.
The screen-time category already has people happily paying. What no one has nailed is the version for adults who want to stay informed. That's the lane Sharp owns.
Invite a friend with a code and you land in the same weekly league — 30 people, one leaderboard, a fresh reset every Monday. Staying informed turns into a little friendly rivalry, and rivalry is what keeps the streak alive.
Every week Sharp turns your progress into a clean, shareable card — the topics you followed, your streak, your rank. It's the kind of thing people post. Sharing it is how friends discover Sharp.
