Pause your apps,
get your hours back.
BeBack is an app blocker for iPhone. You pick time slots, it pauses Instagram, TikTok and the rest through Screen Time, and every hour you win brings colour back to your statue.
Coming soon on the App Store
7 days free, then 39.99 €/year. iPhone, iOS 26 and later.
Three moves, not one more setting.
1
You pick a time slot.
Sleep, 23:00 to 7:00. Lectures, 9:00 to 17:00. Library, whenever you are there. Time slots, not a minute counter.
2
Your apps go on pause.
At 23:00, Instagram shows “Sleep is pausing Instagram”. One big button: Don't open.
3
You see what you have won.
1 h 20 today, 9 h this week. And the statue taking on its colours, one hour at a time.
9 ha week. That is 19 days a year.
With a “Sleep” rule from 23:00 to 7:00, based on 6 h of screen time a day. The maths is detailed in the app.
A pause you cannot nibble at.
Apple's Screen Time does the pausing
The same mechanism as iOS parental controls, not a trick that breaks at the next update.
Time slots, not minutes
A limit in minutes gets pushed back. A slot from 23:00 to 7:00 does not.
Ultra strict when you need it
From 1 h to 7 days, with no way back. For revision weeks and the evenings when you know yourself.
A few openings, if you choose
“Keep a little app time”: 5 openings of 5 minutes a day, counted on the home screen.
The price, told up front.
7 days free, then 39.99 € a year. Or 4.99 € a week, with no trial. The price shows in the app before you have finished setting up, and a notification warns you the day before the trial ends. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings.
Your rules stay on your iPhone.
Your apps, your time slots, your hours and your reports never leave your phone. Your photo is sent once, encrypted, to sculpt the statue, and is not kept on our servers. Under 18: no photo, a statue from our library. The image is AI-generated and says so.
Read the privacy policyThe questions we get asked.
- How do I block an app on iPhone at certain hours?
- In BeBack, you create a rule: a time slot (for example 23:00 to 7:00) and the apps it covers, picked in Apple's selector. During the slot, the app shows a pause instead of its content.
- Does it work with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat?
- With every app installed on your iPhone. You pick them once and can add or remove them from the rule.
- Can the pause be bypassed?
- By default you can stop a rule from BeBack, and every opening is counted. In Ultra strict, no opening is possible before the slot ends.
- How much does it cost?
- 7 days free, then 39.99 € a year. There is also a weekly subscription at 4.99 €. The price is shown in the app before you finish setting up.
- What is the statue?
- A statue in your likeness, marble at first, in the dream you chose. Every hour you win gives it back a little colour. It does not judge, it shows.
- Where does my data go?
- Nowhere, except your photo, sent once to sculpt the statue and then deleted. Purchases go through Apple and RevenueCat. No account to create.
