Choose how much scroll you get
Set the rope — a few minutes of scrolling before the shield drops — or go Instant and the eye pounces the second you open the app.
A smug eye lives on your iPhone. Open the apps that eat your day and it heckles you out loud — keep pushing and it shields them shut.
Launching soon on iPhone. The eye is already judging you.
Straight from the phone
How it works
TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, YouTube — whichever one you open without deciding to. Stop That watches for them.
Out-loud voice clips the moment you open one. Funny the first time. Less funny the third. That’s the point.
Keep pushing past the heckle and the app closes. No password, no dialog to argue with. It’s just shut.
Time saved, blocks landed, streaks kept. Proof the eye is annoying for a reason.
Under the hood
Enough friction to make you think twice. Never enough to lock you out for real.
Set the rope — a few minutes of scrolling before the shield drops — or go Instant and the eye pounces the second you open the app.
Put your rules on a schedule. Tighten during work or bedtime and they can only get stricter, never looser, until the window ends.
Switching enforcement off asks for a short typed confession. Deliberate enough to catch a weak moment. Never impossible.
A single button drops all enforcement at once. Nothing ever traps you — the exit is always one tap away.
Private by design
Your apps, your usage, your settings never leave the iPhone. No account to make. No tracking. No data sold to anyone, ever.
Stop That runs on Apple’s Screen Time (Family Controls) on your own device. It’s not parental controls and it never watches anyone else — just you, being judged, locally.
Pricing
No free trial — the eye doesn’t do freebies. The App Store handles the whole purchase. Enforcement stops automatically if your subscription lapses.
$7.99/week
Try the nagging by the week. Cancel whenever the eye gets too smug.
Billed weekly through the App Store.
$49.99/year

Subscription lapses? The shields come down on their own. No hostage-taking.
Questions, fair enough
Yes. Stop That uses Apple’s Screen Time (Family Controls) to actually shield the apps you pick. Push past the heckle and the app closes — this isn’t a reminder you can swipe away.
You can always stop enforcement — nothing traps you. But it takes a short typed confession, and Locked Hours can freeze your settings on a schedule so a weak moment doesn’t undo your whole day. Deliberate, never impossible.
Completely. Your apps, usage and settings never leave your iPhone. There’s no account, no cloud, no tracking, and nothing is ever sold. It uses Screen Time on your own device and never watches anyone else.
Enforcement stops automatically when your subscription lapses. The shields come down on their own — the eye doesn’t hold your apps hostage to make you re-subscribe.
iPhone only for now. Stop That is built on Apple’s Screen Time, which doesn’t exist on Android. No timeline to share yet.
They play out loud, so they respect your silent switch and volume like any other sound. Want the shield without the commentary? You can keep the enforcement and turn the voice down. The eye stays judgmental either way.
Last call before you scroll off
It heckles, it shields, and it lives entirely on your iPhone.
Launching soon. iPhone only.
