Helpfl

Your apps can wait until it’s done.

Helpfl makes iPhone apps for the things that keep getting put off. Both work the same way: the apps you lose time to stay locked until you tap a tag where the real thing happens.

For you

Helpfl

Habits that stick

Your apps stay locked until you actually do it.

Put an NFC tag on the treadmill, the pill bottle or the front door. Helpfl blocks the apps you reach for instead, and opens them the moment you scan.

  • Streaks, freezes and Time Extenders
  • Live Activities and an Apple Watch app
  • Free, with Helpfl Pro when one habit becomes a routine

For your family

Helpfl Family

Chores, rewards and app locks

Chores first. Then screens.

Your child taps a tag on the dishwasher, or snaps a photo on an iPad, and their apps open back up. You approve it, and they earn points, allowance and rewards.

  • Points, allowance and a rewards store you stock
  • iPhone and iPad, and approvals from your Apple Watch
  • Free for one child, with Family Premium for the whole crew

One idea, two apps

A “Done” button is easy to lie to. A tag isn’t.

Proof you can’t fake from the couch

A cheap NFC sticker goes where the job happens. Scanning it means someone was actually there.

Real Screen Time blocking

Both apps use Apple’s own Screen Time framework, so a locked app is really locked, not a reminder you can swipe away.

Your apps stay yours

Which apps get blocked stays on the device, handled by Apple. We never see what anyone opens, or for how long.
