Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 4, Documentation: 5, Utility: 6)

WaitToUnlock is a web service that generates a random Screen Time passcode and guides you through setting it on your iPhone without ever seeing it in full. By storing the encrypted passcode and releasing it only after a user-defined wait period, it adds friction that makes iOS Screen Time limits harder to bypass impulsively. It offers a free tier and a one-time paid upgrade, targeting individuals seeking digital self-control.

Target audience: iOS users struggling with screen time limits, individuals seeking digital self-control, parents
