Compared honestly

Everything else you’ve already tried.

Three of these are free, and one of them might genuinely be enough for you. We’ve left in the rows we lose — a table you win every time isn’t a comparison, it’s an advertisement.

The last two rows are the honest ones.

Screen Time is free and it is already sitting on your phone. If it is holding for you, keep using it and keep your ₹1,299. The Anchor is for the people it stopped holding for — which, going by how many of them write to us, is most people, somewhere around the second week.

Leaving your phone in another room is the closest free thing to what we sell, and we would tell you to try that first. It works until the evening somebody needs to reach you, and then the exceptions start, and exceptions are how every rule quietly dies. The Anchor exists to keep the distance without costing you the phone.

Everything else on this page asks your willpower to out-argue an industry that employs thousands of engineers to keep you scrolling. The Anchor changes the setup instead. All it costs you is the walk back to wherever you left it.

One at a time.

    Leaving your phone in another room

    The Offline Anchor

    The switch is not on your phone. Turning it off means walking to wherever you left it.

Still the only one
you have to walk to.
