The Problem

Social apps steal the screen time your users want to spend in your app, eating away your revenue

Users stop coming back after their first session
End up scrolling social media instead
No effective way to get them back into your app
The Solution

Lock social media
until your users complete
a session in your app

Improve your retention in 3 easy steps

Fight TikTok back with a native screen time feature. The new, proven retention strategy.
Step 1

Integrate the SDK

It's plug-and-play: pick the entry point in your app to prompt your screen time feature. Customize colors and copy of the pre-built UI screens and select the in-app event to unlock distracting apps.

Step 2

Launch and activate users

Now it’s your users turn. They select distracting apps and times to replace scrolling with your app. Your users are in full control, they can always turn the feature off.

Step 3

Guide users back to your app with Nudges

When your user opens distracting apps during their schedule, the SDK locks the app with a customizable, full-screen Nudge. It reminds them that this is the time they set to use your app instead of scrolling. Users can always pause Nudges.

Launch stable full-screen nudges
in days, not months

ChatGPT says it's easy to build nudges with Apple's Screen Time API? It's hallucinating. Hidden pitfalls will cost you months wrestling with the API.

Get stable nudges instantly

Apple's API looks simple but hides chaos: unstable nudges, failed monitoring, and poor docs require months of trial-and-error for a solid UX. Wellspent cuts through the chaos with instant, stable nudges.

Frequently asked questions

How does Wellspent increase my app’s user retention?

Your users want to use your app but end up scrolling social media instead. They’re not making an active choice—they’re just following the easier habit. Wellspent helps them break that cycle by replacing scrolling with your app. When they try to open a social app, they get a nudge to return to your app instead. All of this happens seamlessly, in the background, and within your app’s UI.

How difficult is the integration, and how long does it take?

Wellspent integrates via a simple SDK. It's a fully-fledged screen time feature including UI screens you can brand. Most apps go live within 2-4 days.

Will my users find this restrictive or annoying?

No. Because they’re in control. Users opt in voluntarily, deciding which apps to block, when, and how strict it should be. We haven't seen negative impact on churn yet.

How fast can I expect results?

Typically within the first seven days after going live.

I can also build this myself using the Screen Time API?

It’s way harder to build it yourself than it looks, and it can take 15-20x longer than implementing Wellspent SDK (3 days vs 2-3 months). Fundamentals to launch a stable and scalable event-based app locking experience are not documented. So you're left alone with trial-and-error. Try to build it yourself and you’ll waste months wrestling with the API. There’s a reason why engineers call Apple's API the Scream Time API. We’ve solved all those headaches for you.

Take user engagement into the social media era

App engagement has changed. Nudge your users to your app where they actually spend their screen time, and drive meaningful retention for your business.
