Clam locks the apps that steal your time, for exactly as long as you choose. One tap. Real blocking. The timer stays on your lock screen, or on the outer display of iPhone Duo.
There's one button. That's the whole app.
Once. Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, whatever it is for you. Uses Apple's Screen Time, so it's real blocking, not a Shortcut you can skip.
Or any length from 5 minutes to 4 hours. Siri, the Action Button and a Home Screen widget can do it too.
The countdown sits on your lock screen. Open a locked app and you get a clam, not a feed. Quitting early takes a 10-second hold and resets your streak.
At the average 4.5 hours a day, that's
a year. Full 24-hour days. People who lock their apps consistently cut that by about 40%.
back. Every year.
The Duo's whole pitch is "open it up and get lost in it". Clam is the opposite motion: closing it is the commitment.
The countdown shows on the 5.4-inch outer screen while the phone is folded. Unfolding to scroll means seeing the block screen.
Same app, same ritual. The timer lives on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. "Fold" just becomes "lock".

Opal is about $100 a year. Brick is $59 for a piece of plastic you'll lose. Your phone is the brick.
Yes. Every blocker on iOS has that limit, and any that claims otherwise is lying. Clam adds friction, not walls: a 10-second hold to quit and a streak you'll lose. That's what changes behaviour.
No. Apple's Screen Time framework gives Clam opaque tokens for the apps you pick. Clam can't see which apps they are, can't read anything inside them, and never sends anything off your phone. There's no account and no server. Privacy policy.
That's the only way to actually lock apps on iOS. Clam asks for it once, for you alone (not a family or child setting), and uses it only during a session you started.
Hold the "give up" button for 10 seconds. The session ends, your apps unlock, and your streak resets. That's the deal.
Yes. On every iPhone running iOS 17 or later the countdown is on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. The Duo just makes the ritual physical.
Not yet. If enough people ask at hello@getclam.app, it moves up the list.
