About Be Serious

Be Serious is an iPhone-only habit app for iOS 18+. Pick the apps that distract you and lock them with Apple's Screen Time. Complete your habits to earn minutes back.

Who it is for
iPhone users who want to stop opening distracting apps on autopilot and spend screen time on purpose.
Problem it solves
It's easy to unlock your phone for one thing and lose twenty minutes scrolling. Willpower alone rarely beats apps designed to be reopened.
The solution
Be Serious locks the apps you choose with Screen Time and opens them again only after you complete a habit, so screen time becomes something you earn.
What makes it unique
Instead of only blocking apps, it rewards follow-through. Finishing your habits is what earns your apps back.

What do DR4, DR3 and the model difference mean?
DR4:
Ahrefs' newer model. It gives more weight to links from sites with organic search traffic and rates a subdomain on its own links.
DR3:
The previous model, shown in the Ahrefs app until 1 December 2026.
Model difference:
DR4 minus DR3 for the same domain. The models calculate differently, so this is not growth or a drop; the “since” lines compare each model with itself.
