Tap the + button on the Home screen to create a new entry. Enter the duration (hours and minutes) you spent on your phone, optionally add a note, and save. Your entry is recorded for the current date.
You can log multiple sessions per day — they will be combined in your daily summary.
No. ScreenSafe does not use Apple's Screen Time API and has no access to your actual device usage data. All entries are manually created by you. The app is a personal logging tool — it only knows what you tell it.
This design means the app requires no special permissions and your actual usage patterns are never accessed programmatically.
Yes. The History view shows all your logged entries organized by date. You can see daily totals, individual session entries, and trends over time to help you understand your screen usage patterns.
To edit or delete an entry:
Deleted entries cannot be recovered since all data is stored locally on your device.
ScreenSafe stores all data locally on your device. There is no cloud sync or server-side backup. To move your data to a new device, use an iCloud Backup or an iTunes/Finder local backup of your current device, then restore that backup on your new device.
If you set up a new device without restoring from a backup, your data will need to be entered again.
Yes, completely private. All screen time logs are stored only on your device. ScreenSafe does not connect to any server, contains no analytics or tracking SDKs, and transmits no data anywhere.
Your data is never shared with Small App Works, third parties, or any external service. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
