Fewer Apps

Keep the apps you need. Make a confident decision about the rest. Fewer Apps helps you review your selected apps using on-device Screen Time evidence. See what you used, what stayed untouched, and which apps deserve a closer look. Reviews and removal guidance are free. REVIEW YOUR APP USE Choose the apps and categories you want to review. Compare recorded time, days used, latest activity and notifications. Fewer Apps explains the evidence and makes missing or incomplete observation clear. KEEP YOUR ESSENTIALS Some apps matter even when you rarely open them. Choose protected essentials to keep them out of removal suggestions and new Hibernation selections. You stay in control of which apps are protected. Their recorded usage remains visible in the full review. TRY LIVING WITHOUT AN APP The optional Fewer Apps Forever purchase unlocks Hibernation. Put an uncertain app behind a Screen Time gate while keeping it installed. Opening it becomes a deliberate choice: let it sleep or wake it. Open Try Without to see your active experiments first, with decisions ready to review and any protection issues together. After 14 uninterrupted days of confirmed observation without an opening attempt, an app can become Ready to Remove. An opening attempt or choosing Keep hibernating restarts that observation period. You can wake an app at any time. MAKE THE FINAL DECISION YOURSELF Free removal guidance shows how to delete an app on your iPhone. Fewer Apps never removes another app automatically. A removal in History is recorded when you confirm that you deleted it. KEEP YOUR HISTORY The one-time purchase also unlocks dated History of your Hibernation and wake decisions, plus removals you report. Your saved History is stored on your device. Create an optional progress card without app names when you want to share a milestone. Removals on the card are clearly labeled as user-reported. CHOOSE YOUR APPEARANCE Choose System, Light or Dark for Fewer Apps. System follows your iPhone's appearance and is the default. Your choice is remembered on this device.
