Use Biscuit - Screentime Pet. Biscuit is a screen time management app for iOS that helps users build healthier phone habits through gamification. Users set which apps to restrict and earn in-app currency called biscuits by completing real-world focus tasks. Biscuits are fed to a virtual pet companion to restore energy and unlock more screen time. The app includes a shop, stats screen, and Apple Health integration for rewarding physical activity. Biscuit uses Apple's Screen Time APIs to help enforce app restrictions and display usage information. Data obtained through Apple's Screen Time APIs is processed entirely on-device and is not transmitted to our servers. We may separately collect limited analytics about use of the Biscuit app itself, such as in-app sessions, feature interactions, and app performance data.
