Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I’m Tom, co-founder of Lemio, the first screen time app that actually works and is not annoying! 🎉
First of all, big shoutout to Rohan Chaubey (@rohanrecommends) for hunting us. Follow this guy, he always has top notch recommendations!
🙋 Why did we create Lemio?
We are glued to our phones. And in a way that's fine, because for us it's the most amazing tool ever built.
BUT: The habit of using your phone like a Swiss Army knife is exploited by some tech companies. They tell you their solutions are free, but in reality they steal your time. We want to change that and reinvent the use of the phone to unlock everyone's full potential.
❓ What makes Lemio different?
You may have tried other screen time apps, blockers, passwords, accountability apps, etc. They all fail because they get annoying super fast. Plus, when you're blocked without any alternative or opportunity for growth, it's like your parents telling you you su*** at school without helping you improve.
Lemio is all about 100% INTENTIONAL PHONE USE:
🔎 Intentional Use
Select for how long you want to go in to avoid getting lost scrolling.
⏱️ Screen Time in Real Time
Always see your screen time in Dynamic Island when using distracting apps.
📅 Priority Planning
Plan just one important thing for the day that will improve your life. We help you execute it.
🔐 Customized Locks
Decide when (= schedules) you want to block and how restrictive you want it to be.
🚨 Exceptions prove the rule
Screen time rules are great, but then life happens. That is why we have emergency opens beyond daily limits and the ability to extend sessions via notifications.
🔨 Stuff you know from other apps
Focus Timer, Breathing Exercise, Wait to Unlock, …
✨Why Lemio stands out？
All other apps rely on your willpower in those moments when you are the worst version of yourself (mentally and physically). That's cruel and unsustainable. Lemio is the only screen time app that ensures you need no or less willpower to resist.
We mostly want to help you with:
- Saving time
- Being in control of your life
- Starting to do things you were putting off
🌟 Exclusive Launch Benefits
Today and tomorrow we are offering a FREE LIFETIME before our paywall is activated. Save $69 if you get Lemio before 31 Jan 2025. No code needed, just get the app from the App Store in time (and leave a 5-star rating). 😉
Don' t forget to tell your friends before it's too late ;) You will save them years of time. Could there be a greater gift?

I’ve been using it for months, and it has completely transformed the way I interact with my phone. Not only did it help me use my phone more intentionally, but it also made me painfully aware of my addictive habits—something I didn’t even realize before. The insights and gentle breathing nudges were exactly what I needed to regain control. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to be more mindful with their screen time!
The app looks so nice! happy to support a fellow wagoner too, and I've registered to the Android waitlist 🥹
Been trying out the beta version for a few weeks already, LOVE this app. It actually reduced my screen-time by around 1hr on average already.
Super Impressive to see where you guys brought the app! I remember testing the alpha a long time ago and you did an incredible job streamlining the experience. Awesome!
Awesome app from an awesome team! Really helps to use my phone mindfully & be more effective on a daily basis.
Tomasz is a great entrepreneur and the product rock itself, I advice all of you to test it ☘️

@feliciana_liu Hey, give it a try. I'm biased but we really believe it is the best solution in the market.

@john_piece Hey, we don't really collect any personal data. We value your privacy and we understand screen time is an intimate thing. So we use Apple's screen time API which protects your data and only keeps it on device (not sending to us).

@martin67 Hey, sure you can sign up to waitlist on our website. https://www.lemioapp.com
Hey! Beta user here! One big thank you.
I used other blocking apps, but this was really a game changer. Before I used Lemio I usually deleted other apps every 2 weeks because they were annoying and they showed my weak sides and made me feel bad. Lemio did the job, I minimized my screen time and social media app by 40 min a day and I feel more present thanks to that. I have one thing that I miss though... Desktop version. Looking forward for new features.

@daniel_zurek Mainly we were tired of looking at how media companies monetized our attention and what this business model lead to. We are here to create and we need to get bored to be creative. With social media we never really get bored and we are losing awareness of our inner world, the only world we can control.
