Questions

Do I need a group?

No. You can block apps on your own. To tell or ask a group, invite friends who also use Ripple.

What if I really need an app?

You choose the rule: wait 10 seconds, tell your group, or ask someone to approve a 15-minute break. With Hard block, apps stay blocked until the rule ends.

What can my group see?

Shared rules, slips, streaks, and phone-time totals when available. Your app selections and personal rules stay on your iPhone. Your group never sees which apps you open.

When can I get Ripple?

Ripple is coming soon to iPhone, with iOS 26 or later. The download link will appear here when it’s available.
