Eclipse · for iPhone

It's design,not discipline.

Your phone was engineered to hold your attention. Eclipse quietly takes it back — scheduled app limits and automatic grayscale, running on their own.

Eclipse gives back about 90 minutes a day — that's 23 days every year you were never going to get back otherwise.
How it works

The best tool to fight against big tech.

Eclipse limits the dopamine your brain releases on your phone, and blocks the apps that won't give it a rest.

01 — Grayscale

Your home screen,
in black and white.

During your focus hours, Eclipse drains the color from your phone. No color, no dopamine trigger. Instagram is shockingly boring in grayscale.

02 — Limits

Block the apps
that won't quit.

Pick the windows that matter — mornings, deep work, the hours before bed. The apps that pull hardest go dark on schedule. No daily decision required.

03 — The pause

A breath,
not a brick wall.

Step out of grayscale or add time to blocked apps. A break is always there when you need it.

04 — Insight

See the pattern,
not the shame.

Skip the guilt-trip dashboards. Eclipse shows you when your focus tends to break — context you can actually use, instead of a number that just makes you feel bad.

The difference

Most apps fight your behavior. Eclipse changes how it feels.

Color is a reward amplifier — vivid thumbnails, red notifications, endless contrast. Strip it out during your focus hours and scrolling stops feeling like a treat. You're not fighting the phone anymore. The phone just stopped competing.

That's the difference between willpower and environment design.

Eclipse — make screens boring, grayscale phones
Who it's for

A calmer phone —
not a stricter one.

This is for you if

  • You want to use your apps — just not have them using you
  • You keep turning your own Screen Time limits off
  • You don't want to punish yourself — you want the pull to feel weaker
  • You want calm without feeling like you're being managed

Probably not, if

  • You want a hard app blocker with unbreakable locks
  • You prefer setting limits by hand each day
  • You want your phone to feel like a productivity dashboard
  • You're looking for parental controls or family management tools
Honest answers

The questions
worth asking.

Yes. Eclipse uses Apple's own Screen Time permissions to limit apps, and runs grayscale through the Shortcuts and Focus features already built into iOS. Nothing unusual, nothing fragile.
You set the windows, and you can adjust them anytime. This isn't a lock — it's a default that works for you instead of against you.
Screen Time shows you data and lets you set limits. Eclipse reduces the stimulation so those limits actually hold. The grayscale layer is the part Screen Time doesn't have.
$4.99/month or $39.99/year. The first week is free — no card to start.
Your focus data stays on your device. Your email, if you give it, goes on a launch list. That's it.

Make your phone
boring.

Set it once. Get your evenings back. The first week is on us.
