Achieve! Earn Your Screen Time

Golden Tech Labs

About this app

Take control of your time and focus on what matters most. Achieve! is an app for earning your screen time instead of just blocking it.

5 hours a day. That's how long the average person spends on their phone. Achieve! helps you take back that time by blocking distractions, tracking your progress, and turning your goals into rewards, so you can focus on what really matters.

Do you spend hours scrolling without realizing it? Take back control. Achieve! helps you stay focused and productive by turning your goals into rewards. Earn screen time by completing tasks that matter most to you, and say goodbye to distractions.

Choose distracting apps you want to limit, then earn access through activities such as steps, workouts, goals, and time spent in selected productive apps. Achieve tracks your earned and used minutes so you can see your available balance throughout the day.

When a selected distracting app is opened and no earned time is available, Achieve shows a block screen and helps you return to your selected goals.

Features:
- Select distracting apps to block
- Earn screen time through steps, workouts, goals, and productive app time
- Track available, earned, and used minutes
- Customize earning rules and daily goals
- View activity history and progress insights
- Use Health Connect to count steps and exercise sessions when permission is granted

Achieve is designed for people who want a structured way to reduce distracting app use and build more intentional phone habits.

Accessibility Service Disclosure:
Achieve uses Android’s AccessibilityService API for its core app-blocking feature. When you enable Achieve App Blocker, Achieve detects app changes and the package name of the app currently opened so it can determine whether it matches a distracting app you selected. If a selected distracting app is opened and you do not have earned screen time available, Achieve shows its block screen to help you return to your goals.

Achieve uses Accessibility only for selected app blocking. Achieve does not use Accessibility to read text you type, read messages, collect passwords, inspect private screen content, or perform actions inside other apps.

Ratings and reviews

I wanted to love this app. I used it for one day and loved it. It connected to my Google Fit app and worked perfectly. Today, it no longer syncs with my app and will not open Health Connect. I have done all the trouble shooting and nothing. I did report the issue, so I hope it is a bug that will be resolved. I had to uninstall because I was locked out of my apps due to Achieve keeping my count at 0 steps.

already had the most productive day in months after installing. I had an issue enabling health connect but I emailed support and they fixed it and updated the app the same day, and it works flawlessly. I hope they add features (a home screen widget, remaining time overlay, friends can add minutes and hold you accountable, etc). really impressed. free, not bloated, and does what it says.

Looks like a great app, almost exactly what I'm looking for. Too bad it doesn't actually work at all. Installed: immediately given almost 2 hours of screen time. Adjust settings trying to get that to 0 for testing, but it refused to go below 34 minutes of screen time. Fine, I'll just throw on youtube (an app on the block list) and let it run. 2 hours later, still have 15 minutes of screen time left.
