Instagram and TikTok stay closed until you earn the time with real things: a walk, the dishes, a call home. Better with a partner who gives you quests.

Why it's different

Built the way apps should be

No accounts. No tracking. No dark patterns. Just a tool that works.

Your apps rest until you earn it

Pick the apps that eat your day. They stay closed behind a friendly shield and open for the minutes you have earned, then close again on their own.

Real things earn real minutes

A walk counted by your iPhone, a timed reading session, squats, the dishes, a call home. Each one adds minutes. Free minutes every morning, too.

Better with a partner

Invite someone to give you quests (“hug me”, “do the dishes”), confirm them and send you minutes. Only you decide what they see, and they can never control your phone.

How it works

Simple, start to finish

Choose the apps

Allow Screen Time and pick Instagram, TikTok or anything else. Zarobi never sees which apps they are.

Do something real

Finish a quest: a timer, a step count, a set of squats, or a promise you keep. The minutes land in your balance.

Spend your minutes

Open your apps for 5, 15 or 30 minutes. Close them early and the unused minutes come back.

Pricing

Fair and simple

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does Zarobi see which apps I use?

No. Apple’s Screen Time gives Zarobi only opaque tokens for the apps you pick, never their names or how long you use them. Everything stays on your iPhone.

What if I really need Instagram right now?

An emergency unlock is always there: five free minutes, any time. It shows in your history (and to your partner only if you share your day), so it stays honest.

Can my partner control my phone?

Never. A partner can give you quests, confirm them and send you minutes. You decide whether they confirm quests and whether they see your day, and you can stop sharing at any time.

Do I have to pay to block apps?

No. Blocking, emergency unlocks, free daily minutes and your partner’s quests are free. Pro adds unlimited library quests, your own quests and the full history.

Which languages does Zarobi speak?

English, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Ukrainian.
