Smart Schedules

Set a schedule that works for your day. Block apps 8–9am, allow 30 minutes before lunch, an hour after dinner. No more rigid 9–5 lockouts you give up on in a week. The most flexible screen time control on the market.

Active Notifications

Spiral nudges you at 50% and 80% of your limit, then again when you hit it. No surprise lockouts, just gentle warnings that snap you out of the scroll before it's too late.

Streaks

Every day you keep Spiral active adds to your streak. The longer it grows, the more you have to lose by turning it off.

Smart screentime limits tailored to the way you actually use your phone.

Other apps

Rigid Schedule structures

Block apps entirely during the day, even when you need them.

Treat your phone like the enemy

Punitive language, shame-driven nudges, friction designed to make you feel bad for opening an app.

Built around willpower

Designed to slow you down by a few seconds and hope you change your mind. Works for a day, fails by week two.

Early friction doesn't prevent doomscrolling

App makes it difficult to access the app at the start, but does nothing to prevent excessive use.

Built like dashboards, not blockers

Show charts, scores, and reports — but don’t actually stop you in the moment you need it most.

Spiral

Smart zones, not blocks

Set a 30-minute limit for Instagram in the morning, an hour in the evening, and zero between 11pm–6am. Your schedule, your rules — flexible enough you'll actually stick to it.

Step in, don't shame

A 50% warning, an 80% warning, then a quiet lock when you hit your limit. No guilt, no insults, no friction theater.

Warnings that actually sto doomscrolling

Spiral tells you exactly how much time you have left. By 80%, you know to wrap it up — before you spiral.

A real lock, not a speed bump

When you hit your limit, the app locks until your next zone. Not a delay, not a prompt, not a suggestion.

Flexible schedules that match real life

Different rules for different parts of the day. Different rules for the weekend. Spiral works with how you use your phone, not against it.

A Screentime app that works for you, not against you.
