Improve your retention in 3 easy steps

Fight TikTok back with a native screen time feature. The new, proven retention strategy.
Step 1

Integrate the SKD

It's plug-and-play: pick the entry point in your app to prompt your screen time feature. Customize colors and copy of the pre-built UI screens and select the in-app event to unlock distracting apps.

Step 2

Launch and activate users

Now it’s your users turn. They select distracting apps and times to replace scrolling with your app. Your users are in full control, they can always turn the feature off.

Step 3

Guide users back to your app with Nudges

When your user opens distracting apps during their schedule, the SDK locks the app with a customizable, full-screen Nudge. It reminds them that this is the time they set to use your app instead of scrolling. Users can always pause Nudges.

Proven retention feature
built faster and more stable

We built a screen time app with 71% D30 retention before. We wrestled with the Screen Time API so you don’t have to. Launch faster with confidence.

Screen Time API Natives

Apple’s API powers our core UX. Seems easy? Big headache. Getting locking stable is hard because basics are undocumented. You’ll waste months wrestling with the API. Wellspent solved all those headaches for you.

15x

Faster Launching

Stay ahead of API changes

Apple updates the API silently, so you'll never know. Wellspent handle updates, while you focus on growing your app.

Custom UI Control

Customize our pre-built UI to have full control over the visual style of your feature

European servers. All user-specific personal data remains on-device, it's never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How does Wellspent increase my app’s user retention?

Your users want to use your app but end up scrolling social media instead. They’re not making an active choice—they’re just following the easier habit. Wellspent helps them break that cycle by replacing scrolling with your app. When they try to open a social app, they get a nudge to return to your app instead. All of this happens seamlessly, in the background, and within your app’s UI.

How difficult is the integration, and how long does it take?

Wellspent integrates via a simple SDK. Most apps go live within 2-4 days.

Will my users find this restrictive or annoying?

No. Because they’re in control. Users opt in voluntarily, deciding which apps to block, when, and how strict it should be. We haven't seen negative impact on churn yet.

How fast can I expect results?

Typically within the first seven days after going live.

How do I know Wellspent is right for me?

If your app requires active user engagement to deliver value, your audience scrolls social media, and push notifications, emails, or streaks haven’t significantly improved retention - Wellspent is for you.

Take user engagement into the social media era

App engagement has changed. Nudge your users to your app where they actually spend their screen time, and drive meaningful retention for your business.
