Hard blocks fail
When apps slam the door, people find workarounds and the guardrails disappear.
Turn extra minutes into intentional giving.
Extend your screen shield with a donation when you need more time. Set a limit, pick a minutes‑per‑dollar rule, and choose to give only when you go over.

We are losing our days to default scrolling.
Phone time slips past because it is frictionless. Live or Give creates a meaningful pause when you want more time, so the choice is yours instead of the feed's.
Friction keeps you honest
A small moment of decision helps you stick with limits without feeling trapped.
Giving makes it meaningful
If you choose more time, the extra friction supports a good cause you care about.
