TaskBlue vs. iOS Bildschirmzeit
iOS Screen Time is free and built-in, but the key lives on the same device. Any PIN is bypassable in 10 seconds. TaskBlue solves this with a key off-device (Blue Tag, NFC) and makes apps entirely invisible. Plus: ocean impact, something iOS will never offer.
What is iOS Bildschirmzeit?
iOS Screen Time: Apple built-in, limits, app restrictions, family settings. Free, but bypassable on the device.
The core difference
TaskBlue is the only focus app where every minute of focus funds real removal of plastic from the sea. No other product on this page delivers real, measurable environmental impact.
