The moment that matters

Getting in is easy.
Getting out is the point.

PullBack steps in during the session, when “just one more” starts doing the talking.

  1. 1

    Choose your limit.

    Pick the apps that pull you in. Give them 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Use them normally.

    Reply, watch, catch up. PullBack keeps time while you are in a watched app.

  3. 3

    Come back to your day.

    A brief pull-back screen ends the session and returns you home.

Actual PullBack V2 screen: Pulled back. You have had your YouTube time. Take a breath. Heading home. Tap for 30 more seconds.

A real pull-back, captured on Android.

Simple where it counts

Your phone.
Your stopping point.

The core job is free: watch your chosen apps and end a session when its timer runs out.

Free

Four apps. One shared timer.

Choose four from the eight supported social apps. See your saves and pause PullBack when you need to.

Pro

A different limit for each app.

Set custom timers and add other installed apps. Give a long video more room than a short-form feed.

Pro

Make the break stick.

Optional Witness Protection gives an app a cooldown after a pull-back. Opening it again sends you home.

Watch the real app in action

A boundary, without an audience

We time the app.
We don't read the room.

PullBack detects which app is open, never what is on your screen. Your messages, feeds, and passwords stay yours.

Core timing and progress stay on your device. No account. No ads. No analytics SDK in the app.

Before you install

A few things
worth knowing.

Ask something else
What happens when the timer ends?

PullBack shows its pull-back screen, then returns you to your home screen. The first two lockout screens offer a 30-second extension. After that, the session ends.

Which apps can I use it with?

Free watches up to four apps from Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, and Threads. Pro lets you watch all eight and add other installed apps.

Can I just open the app again?

By default, you can return to the app. Pro adds an optional cooldown called Witness Protection, which sends you home again if you reopen a watched app during its cooldown.

Does PullBack read my screen?

No. PullBack uses Android's accessibility service to detect which app is in front and to return you home. It does not read your messages, posts, passwords, or screen content. Core timing and progress stay on your phone.

Does it work on iPhone?

PullBack is currently available for Android only.

What happens after the Pro trial?

Every new install starts with seven days of Pro. No card is needed for this trial. If you do not buy Pro, the app returns to the Free tier.
