Beave has a ton of digital wellbeing and productivity features
Give the apps that eat your day one shared budget, like 45 minutes across all of them. When it runs out, they stay blocked until tomorrow.
Block apps on a schedule, cap their minutes with an app limit, or limit how many times a day they can be opened. Rules run on their own, with or without a focus session, and come back after a restart.
Set when you wake and when you sleep. Your blocked apps stay closed for the first stretch of the morning and the last stretch of the night.
When an app is blocked by a rule, you can still get in, but it costs a moment: hold to inhale and release to exhale, three times, for a 5-minute pass.
A small readout in the corner shows how long you have been on an app you are cutting down on. It never blocks a tap.
A heads-up when you have used 80% of your daily limit, while you can still stop, and a 9pm recap of how the day went.
Beave measures how far you scroll in the apps you choose. When a scrolling session runs long, it makes you take a 10-minute break. It never reads what is on your screen.
Each time you unlock your phone, Beave asks what you are there for. Drift into an app you are cutting down on and it reminds you what you came for.
While a focus session runs, you cannot leave Beave. Only Settings and the phone dialer stay reachable.
Any change that loosens a block waits 1, 3 or 24 hours before it goes through, and so does switching Police off. A weak moment cannot undo your rules.
Pick a window, like 10pm to 7am. Inside it, your phone only works with Wi-Fi and mobile data off. Go internet-free without Beave touching your connection.
Put your phone face down to start. Lifting it mid-session stops the timer, so every minute you log is a minute you really stayed away.
Prefer to tap? Start a timer instead, and pick which apps stay blocked until it ends.
25/5 or 50/10, two to six rounds. Every round is a real session that earns sticks, and flip works here too.
Tag a session as Study, Work, Exercise, Read, Do nothing or Other.
River, Forest birds or Meditation, playing behind your session.
Animated backdrops for your focus screen.
Pause a session when life gets in the way, then pick up where you left off.
Every finished session earns sticks, and sticks build your beaver's dams on real river maps.
A weekly board that resets every Monday, so newcomers can climb it, plus the all-time board.
A public profile with your photo, bio, social links and the badges you have earned.
Earn badges for sticks collected, phone flips, hours focused and Pomodoro runs.
Turn a finished session or your all-time totals into a card for your story.
Your Digital Wellness Score, screen time by day, phone pickups, streaks, a 90-day heatmap, focus time by tag and time spent offline.
A Gold badge on your profile picture, everywhere it appears, including the leaderboard.
A simple to-do list with reminders for what is due today and tomorrow.
Your Daily limit, a one-tap focus start, your tasks and a quote of the day, right on the home screen.
Five friends install with your link and sign in, and you get 60 days of Gold.
English, Japanese, Spanish, German, Korean and Portuguese, in light or dark.
