About
Turn your iPhone into a dumb phone. Nowl replaces your cluttered Home Screen with a simple list of the 5 to 7 apps you actually need. Block distracting apps on your own schedule and see where your screen time really goes.
Your phone should be a tool, not a trap. Every unlock lands you on colorful icons, red badges and endless feeds, and a quick check turns into an hour of scrolling. Nowl strips all of that away, so you pick up your phone with a purpose and put it down when you're done.

APP BLOCKER Pick the apps that steal your time, like social media, games and video, and block them in a tap.
CUSTOM SCHEDULES Block apps automatically during work hours, at bedtime or all weekend. Set it once and Nowl follows your routine, so you don't have to rely on willpower.
SCREEN TIME INSIGHTS See your daily screen time, your most-used apps and how often you pick up your phone. Track your progress week by week.
