An iPhone app blocker that lets a trusted person approve extra time instead of leaving the decision to a one-tap override.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

Warden describes a shared-control model for iPhone app limits: a requester sends a time amount and note, and a Keyholder can approve it, reduce it, or leave the block active. The example exchange turns a 20-minute request into a 10-minute grant. The page also says setup takes about a minute, costs the Keyholder nothing, and limits their view to the request, note, and streak rather than app names or usage patterns.
