Progress that grows with you
Completing sessions unlocks longer durations, turning time away from your phone into a steady progression.
Screen Time commitment for iPhone
Put some distance between you and the noise.
Luddite helps you choose a period of intentional time away from digital distractions, then uses Apple's Screen Time tools to help you keep that commitment until the timer ends.
A simple promise to yourself.
Luddite is built around commitment, not constant configuration. Choose your time, confirm your intention, and let the session run.
-
Choose a duration
Start with an unlocked progression level and choose how long you want to step away.
-
Confirm the session
When you are ready, Luddite asks for confirmation before applying Screen Time shields.
-
Let the timer finish
Your session stays active until its scheduled end, when Luddite clears its shields and records your progress.
Quietly dependable.
The mechanics stay out of the way so your attention can go somewhere else.
Your state stays on your phone
Active sessions, completion history, and progression are stored locally so Luddite can preserve your place.
Automatic session completion
A Device Activity monitor clears Luddite's shields when the scheduled interval reaches its end.
Notifications are optional
A local notification can tell you when a session is complete, but notification permission never blocks a session from starting.
Local-first by default
Your time is your business.
Luddite is designed to work locally on your iPhone. It does not require an account and does not transmit your Screen Time activity or progression to a Luddite server.
