Real People, Less Screen Time
"I used to pick up my phone first thing every morning and lose an hour on Instagram. Now I write a few sentences first and I genuinely look forward to it. My screen time is down by 3 hours a day."
"The smart search is incredible. I searched 'nervous' and found entries from months ago I'd completely forgotten about. It's like having a conversation with your past self."
"I've tried journalling apps before but never stuck with them. The app blocking is the nudge I needed. Now I have 3 months of entries and it's become my favourite part of the day."
Frequently Asked Questions
It helps you catch yourself in the moment, which is half the battle. Most screen time apps try to restrict you. Compose works with you instead, creating a small pause between you and the scroll so you can choose differently. That's where real change starts.
You choose which apps to block and set a schedule. When those apps are blocked, they stay locked until you've written a journal entry. Compose uses Apple's Screen Time API, so it works at the system level. No workarounds. You're always in control of your blocklist and schedule.
Anything. How you're feeling, what's on your mind, what you're avoiding, or even just a few random thoughts. If you're stuck, Compose gives you simple prompts to get you started. No pressure, no overthinking.
You might sometimes, and that's normal. Compose isn't about being perfect. It's about building awareness over time. Some people notice a shift straight away; for others, it builds gradually. Even noticing the habit is a win, and the more you use it, the easier it gets to choose something else.
Not at all. Some people use it daily, others just when they need a reset. There are no rules. It's there when you need it.
Yes. Your entries are encrypted on our servers, protected with Face ID on your device, and we never use your data to train AI models. You can also restrict the App's internet access through your device settings if you prefer to keep everything on-device.
The core features, journalling and screen time control, are completely free. We believe everyone should have access to these tools. We may introduce optional premium features in the future, but the fundamentals will always be free.
