About Sandflow
Sandflow is made by MoneyCoach UG in Berlin for people who want a healthier relationship with their phone without handing their habits to an ad network.
The app grew from a simple problem: distracting apps were taking time away from real life. Sandflow makes those sessions visible in real time, so users can notice the pattern while they still have a choice.
We believe conscious phone use should be practical. Some people need strict blocking, but many people first need a reliable signal that shows when a session has started to drift. Sandflow is built around that signal.
Privacy first
No account, no ads, and no selling app usage data.
Apple native
Built around Shortcuts, Dynamic Island, Live Activities, widgets, iCloud, and Game Center.
Real awareness
Focused on helping users notice app sessions while they are happening.
Our approach to digital wellbeing
Sandflow is intentionally transparent about how tracking works on iPhone. iOS does not allow apps to silently monitor every app you open, and that is a good privacy boundary. Sandflow uses Shortcuts automations so users explicitly decide which apps should start and stop a timer.
The result is a focused app usage tracker for people who want awareness, not surveillance. We keep improving the app around native Apple features, clear setup, reliable timers, and privacy-preserving sync.
We publish guides, changelogs, and support material so users understand both the benefits and the limitations of screen time tracking on iPhone.
That transparency matters because attention data is personal. Sandflow should help users understand their own habits without making them feel watched.
We also keep a public changelog and practical support pages because ranking well should come from being useful, specific, and trustworthy. People searching for a screen time app deserve to know who made it, how it works, where the privacy boundaries are, and what changes over time.
