If ordinary screen time limits fail because you tap straight through them, Argue puts a conversation in the way: you have to give a real reason, and it can say no.
Argue is an iOS screen time blocker with an AI coach called Argo. When you open a blocked app, Argo asks why you need it; a good reason earns a timed break and a poor one gets refused. Around that sit daily limits with a budget of intentional opens, streaks, screen time analytics and friend challenges. It is on the App Store for iOS 17 and later, rated 4.6 from 8 ratings, free to start with Pro at $5.99 a week or $49.99 a year. The privacy label says identifiers, contact info and usage data are linked to you and used for analytics and advertising.
