Skye - An easier way to put your phone down

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Caine, the maker of Skye.

You open an app to look something up, and suddenly you're scrolling. Or you put your phone down, only to pick it up again a few minutes later. Relying on willpower every time is hard.

I built Skye to make putting your phone down easier, with fewer temptations to pull you back in. It helps in two ways: direct search and scheduled app blocking.

1. Go straight to search results.

Type what you need in Skye, choose a supported app or website, and open its results directly. You start with the thing you came to find, making it easier to finish your search and move on.

2. Block distracting apps on your schedule.

Choose the apps, hours, and repeat days. Skye handles the recurring blocks, helping you keep the time you set aside for reading, studying, or winding down.

Skye is free to start, with optional Pro upgrades.

Pro gives you more ways to protect your time:

• More blocking plans

• Unlimited direct searches

• Strict Mode for a firmer commitment

In Strict Mode, each temporary unlock requires a separate purchase, even with Pro. That puts a real cost on an impulsive unlock, giving you another reason to pause before returning to a distracting app.

Before you try Skye

Skye supports English and Chinese on iPhone, requires iOS 18+, and needs Screen Time permission for app blocking.

Direct search respects active blocks. Results and recommendations are still controlled by the destination platform.

Try Skye on the App Store.
