Stop Lying to Yourself

Willpower alone won't save you from the scroll. UseLess uses social pressure to help you reclaim 2+ hours a day by putting your friends in charge of your screen time.

Beg for Your Apps

No more easy snooze buttons. To get more time, you have to record a video or snap a photo explaining why. Your friends decide if your excuse is valid or just sad.

The Walk of Shame

Your requests live in a public feed for your group. Nothing cures a TikTok addiction faster than the fear of being roasted by your best friends for having zero discipline.

Description

Your friends are better than any app blocker. UseLess is an app where your friends control your phone usage, not just you, because willpower alone isn't enough.  Reclaim 2+ hours every day with the power of social pressure.  Other apps give you a snooze button.

Set daily limits for the apps you overuse 2. When you hit your limit, the app blocks—no snooze button 3. Need more time? Record a video or snap a photo explaining why 4. Your friends vote to approve or deny your request 5. Every request lives on the Walk of Shame—your weakness is public 6. Social pressure works. That's why UseLess users reclaim 2+ hours every day.
