Indie App Spotlight: The ‘Before You’ bundle offers four effective screen time apps

Most of us know we're on our phones too much. We just don't know how to fix it without going full digital detox.

Developer Florian Schimanke built four different apps that tackle screen time from different angles. They're called the 'Before You' bundle, and you can grab them individually or get all four at a discount.

This matters because generic screen time limits rarely work. You need tools that fit how you actually use your phone, whether that's mindless scrolling, notification addiction, or just picking it up out of habit.

The indie approach here is smart. Instead of one bloated app trying to do everything, you get focused tools that each solve a specific problem. Pick the one that matches your worst habit, or go all in with the bundle.

It's part of a broader trend of developers building smaller, more intentional productivity tools. The kind that don't require you to restructure your entire workflow, just nudge you toward better habits.
