# Clearspace

> Screen time app that adds a pause and a time limit to distracting apps

Clearspace is a screen time app for iPhone and Android that puts a short centering exercise in front of the apps you choose and asks how long you intend to stay before letting you in. It can also block apps on a schedule, set challenges such as pushups that earn scrolling time, and bring in accountability partners. A Chrome extension applies the same approach to websites.

## Key features

- **Pause before opening:** A selected app opens only after a short centering exercise such as a deep breath, which gives you a moment to decide whether to go in at all.
- **Session limits:** You tell Clearspace how long you want to spend in an app, and it pulls you out when that time is up.
- **Blocking and schedules:** Distracting apps can be blocked outright, and schedules set the windows when chosen apps may be used.
- **Screen time challenges:** Screen time challenges are meant to train your attention, and exercise modes make you do pushups, squats or steps to earn scrolling time.
- **Accountability and reporting:** On iPhone, trusted accountability partners help you keep to your goals, and streaks and budgets summarize your screen time.
- **Chrome extension:** Blocks or limits websites with the same pause-before-opening step, hides social media feeds and offers a Reader Mode that strips a page down to its text.

## Good for

- People who want friction before social apps rather than a hard block
- Phone users who want a time budget for each scrolling session
- Anyone motivated by accountability partners, streaks and exercise challenges

## Worth knowing

- Clearspace publishes no pricing page; the only prices found are in-app purchases on the app stores.
- The US App Store lists three purchases named Clearspace Premium at $44.99, $49.99 and $59.99 without saying how they differ.
- The iOS app is for iPhone only and there is no Mac or Windows app; on a computer Clearspace runs as a Chrome extension.
- The Google Play listing leaves out the schedules and accountability partners that the iPhone listing describes.
