Welcome to Limmi

Automatically limit apps based on which room you are in so you can take willpower out of the equation. No tapping, no finicky time limits.

What users say

  • It's very good to have an automatic block in certain areas that you don't need to think about setting.
    Jamie R.
  • I believe it has a great balance of stopping unaware scrolling without being a blanket stop.
    Alex T.
  • Helps me maintain my routine
    Sam K.
  • It clearly works, by doing what it says it will
    Morgan L.
  • It works really well. Once set up the device has just been sitting there doing its job without me having to think about anything.
    Riley S.
  • To use the blocked apps, you have to physically remove yourself from that space, which then breaks the doom scroll cycle quite effectively.

No action needed after setup

Why Room-based blocking works

It is flexible and automatic. Time-based blocking is too rigid for daily life and any tool using willpower, like tapping, is easily bypassed.

With Limmi, just leave the room if you really need access. This layer of friction prevents autopilot pickups and encourages more conscious use.

The human brain responds strongly to context and environment, reinforcing new habits.

“My son is using it to block YouTube apart from in the kitchen - we agreed this together, and it is also working really well. Gives us some oversight over what he’s watching and for how long, and has stopped him being ‘undetected’ in another room for ages.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Limmi is a smartphone and tablet app that helps families and schools create healthy digital boundaries. It lets you define spaces where specific apps are automatically blocked or allowed. For example, you can block social apps in bedrooms or classrooms while keeping them available in living spaces or during breaks. Limmi is designed to promote balance and focus, not restriction.

Limmi is designed for anyone who wants to create a healthier relationship with technology. Parents can use Limmi to guide and moderate their child's phone use in a calm, passive way that runs automatically in the background. Schools can use Limmi to manage phone use during school hours, reducing distractions while keeping essential functions like messages and emergency calls available. Adults can use Limmi to manage their own screen time, creating natural boundaries that support focus, rest, and balance.

Limmi uses location and proximity technology to recognise where you are in real time. You can quickly set up rooms or areas, choose which apps to block or allow, and Limmi then works automatically in the background. Once it is configured, you do not have to think about it again.

Limmi is fully automatic once set up. It runs quietly in the background and applies your chosen settings without needing daily activation or manual input.

Yes. Limmi allows both location based and time based rules, so you can decide when and where certain apps are available. For example, you can block games during homework time or lessons.

For families and schools, Limmi offers Child Mode which is comprehensive and not easily bypassed by children. Child Mode locks down removal and settings changes so rules remain enforced unless a parent or administrator deliberately changes them. For individual users, Limmi is robust and built to enforce good habits, but it does rely on the choices the user makes.

No. Limmi only blocks the apps you choose within each space. You stay in full control of what remains accessible, so you can still listen to music, read, use maps, or access any other tools you wish to keep active.

No. Limmi blocks are temporary and context based. They only apply when you are in a certain area or during the times you have set. When you move to another space or the schedule ends, your apps are automatically available again.

Yes. Limmi includes family and school management features that let parents or teachers apply and enforce rules across multiple devices. This makes it easy to set consistent boundaries at home or across classrooms.

Schools use Limmi to automatically block distracting apps when students enter school grounds, creating a calm and focused learning environment. Teachers no longer need to collect phones or monitor device use. Essential and emergency apps, including those needed for medical or wellbeing purposes, remain fully accessible so parents and students can stay safely connected when needed.

Schools can join Limmi's pilot programme to test classroom and home use. Families can join the beta through TestFlight and start setting up spaces in their own homes.

Limmi works on all iOS devices, including iPads, and is launching soon on Android.

Limmi only uses the minimal information needed to function, such as space setup and rule preferences. It does not track browsing or app content and never sells personal data. You can read the full privacy policy on our website.

No. Limmi never affects your internet connection or signal strength. It uses approved operating system features and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi information to recognise where you are and apply your chosen settings safely and securely.
