Simple and Easy.
Our Mission
Making Focus Simple and Accessible for Everyone. At the end of the day, what truly matters? Endless hours lost to scrolling Instagram Reels, or meaningful time spent with family and friends?
Take Back Your Time—One Screen at a Time
People spend an average of 7 hours a day on screens, which accounts for 93% of their free time. Excessive screen time can lead to stress, fatigue, and lost opportunities to enjoy life.
At Screenless, our mission is simple: help you disconnect from distractions and reconnect with what matters most—whether it’s your goals, your loved ones, or yourself.
Live a Happier and Healthier Life
Too much screen time doesn’t just affect your focus—it can impact your sleep, mood, and mental health. Studies show that taking intentional breaks from your devices can improve your well-being, reduce stress, and help you feel more present in daily life.
With Screenless, you can disconnect to reconnect. Whether it’s creating screen-free moments for better sleep, more time with loved ones, or simply enjoying life’s little joys—every minute you reclaim brings you closer to a healthier, happier you.
Other Screen Time Apps Are Expensive
Popular Screen Time apps like Opal cost $100 per year or even $399 for a lifetime subscription. That didn’t sit right with us.
At Screenless, we believe in making focus and productivity accessible for everyone. That’s why we offer a generous free tier and affordable plans starting at just $1.49 per month.
Focus better, without breaking the bank.
Our Story
Screenless—and this website—are entirely built by me, Maximillian Stabe. I started working on it in 2023 after struggling to stay focused during lectures and work, often losing time to social media. This project comes from my personal experience and passion, and I truly hope it helps you find more focus and balance in your day!
Built by a Student, for Students
As a student, I often found it hard to stay focused during lectures. I tried focus apps like Opal, but they were too expensive and didn’t offer the flexibility I needed—like running multiple focus sessions at once.
So, as a Software Engineering student, I simply built my own solution: Screenless :)
A side project alongside full-time studying and a part-time job
I started building Screenless in 2023, and after continuous development, I released it in November 2024. Balancing this project with full-time studying and a part-time job as a Software Engineer has been a challenge.
Finding time between studying, working, and improving Screenless was not always easy, but I’m proud of how far it has come and excited about what’s ahead.
Built with Users in Mind
From the very beginning, I developed Screenless by listening closely to users—friends and others who rely on ScreenTime apps. I asked them what features they wished for, and their input shaped Screenless into what it is today.
One of the benefits of being a one-person team is that there’s no bureaucracy. If you have a feature request or suggestion, you can email me directly, and if it improves Screenless, I can implement it quickly.
