Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions.

What is Sheepy?

Sheepy is a gamified screen-time app that helps you reduce phone addiction. You adopt a virtual sheep that thrives when you spend less time scrolling. By setting app limits, completing quests, and tracking your progress, you can form healthier digital habits.

Is Sheepy free?

Yes, Sheepy is a freemium experience! Sheepy is free to download, and you get essential features—including one mode—to help you manage your screen time. For the full experience, unlock premium features like additional modes, advanced analytics, deeper customization, and extra quests through our optional subscription.

How does Sheepy help reduce my screen time?

Sheepy offers tools like App Limit, Mindful Mode, and Quests to nudge you away from distractions. When you stick to your goals, your sheep stays happy—and you earn in-app rewards for maintaining healthy habits.

How does app blocking work?

Sheepy uses Apple’s Screen Time API to monitor and block apps at the system level. Once you set daily limits or block specific apps, Sheepy will prevent you from opening them once you reach your limit—unless you override (depending on your chosen Focus Difficulty).

How do I set up Sheepy on my iPhone?

After downloading Sheepy, you’ll be guided through a quick setup process that grants the app permission to use Apple’s Screen Time API. Once granted, you can start creating blocklists, setting time limits, and customizing your sheep.

Does Sheepy work on Android?

We currently focus on iOS, leveraging Apple’s Screen Time API for reliable app blocking. Android compatibility is on our roadmap—stay tuned for updates!

Is my data safe with Sheepy?

Absolutely. Sheepy operates entirely on your device using Apple’s Screen Time API. We do not send your personal browsing or usage data to external servers. Your privacy is our top priority.

What if I have ADHD or anxiety?

Sheepy’s short breaks, mindful prompts, and block screens can be especially helpful if you struggle with impulse control. While we’re not a medical device, many users find Sheepy’s structured approach and gentle nudges beneficial for mental well-being.
