Compare screen time apps

Choose the kind of help you need: a pause before opening an app, scheduled blocks, a daily allowance, or rules that take more effort to change.

We make Mirror. These comparisons explain when another option may fit you better. Features, prices and privacy labels were checked against official sources on October 15, 2026.

• Mirror vs Opal

  Choose Opal if you want scheduled focus with timers, soundscapes and a broader device range. Consider Mirror if you want iPhone rules a friend can hold, with a lower annual price than Opal Pro’s listed annual plan.

• Mirror vs one sec

  Try one sec first if you want a free breathing interruption for one app. Consider Mirror if your priority is a friend-held key and commitments alongside iPhone limits and schedules. one sec also offers paid blocking tools.

• Mirror vs ScreenZen

  Choose ScreenZen if you want donation-supported blocking with opening delays and app goals. Consider Mirror if its friend-held key, daily goal and multi-day commitments fit how you want to manage your iPhone.

• Mirror vs Apple Screen Time

  Start with Apple Screen Time if you need built-in usage reports and schedules. Consider Mirror when you want a pause before a chosen app opens and a friend-held key or multi-day commitment. Mirror uses Apple’s frameworks, so both depend on iOS.
