Your Mac. Your rules.

Core Features
Visual Awareness
Monitor up to 10 apps with radiant indicators that shift from Green to Amber to Red. A subtle breathing animation signals when a limit is breached.
Daily Usage Limits
Set per-app time limits that fit your day. GentleLimit tracks usage and signals when you're approaching your threshold — without ever locking you out.
The Reflection Engine
GentleLimit understands your rhythm. It analyzes session lengths and immersion patterns to provide a live, one-line reflection on your day.
Menu Bar Native
Lives entirely in your menu bar — no dock icon, no desktop clutter. GentleLimit is always one click away and completely out of the way when you don't need it.
7-Day Streak System
A dashboard of glowing dots visualizes your week. Forgiving persistence means a Red day isn't a failure — just honest data for your active session.
Private by Design
No tracking. No external analytics. Your screen time data never leaves your Mac — all monitoring and analysis run entirely on-device.
