Verbada.

Intentional screen time, powered by your voice

Stop doomscrolling on autopilot. Start opening apps with intention.

Verbada blocks distracting apps behind a spoken shield. Say a positive affirmation aloud to unlock your app—breaking the mindless scroll loop and boosting your daily confidence in one breath.

$4.99/mo or $39.99/yr ($3.33/mo) after the 7-day trial. Cancel anytime. Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

You didn't mean to waste 2 hours. Your muscle memory did it for you.

  1. 01

    The Autopilot Reflex

    You close an app to be productive… and 3 seconds later, your thumb reflexively taps TikTok without you even realizing it.

  2. 02

    The Dopamine Drain

    What starts as a “5-minute break” turns into 45 minutes of comparison, doomscrolling, and feeling emotionally exhausted.

  3. 03

    The Broken Self-Trust Cycle

    Every time you promise yourself you'll stop scrolling and fail, your confidence takes a quiet hit. It's not a lack of willpower—it's an app engineered to hijack your brain.

Verbada interrupts the loop with a single spoken breath.

Traditional app blockers fail because you just tap “Ignore Limit.” Verbada asks for a physical pause, grounding you in the present moment before you scroll.

  1. 01

    Select your distractions

    Takes under 30 seconds.

    Choose the apps that steal your time—Instagram, TikTok, X, mobile games, or shopping platforms. On iPhone, that choice stays on the device through Apple's Screen Time.

  2. 02

    Set your daily mindset

    Customizable affirmations.

    Assign positive, grounding statements to each app, or let Verbada offer a fresh line from the built-in library. AI-written lines are optional.

  3. 03

    Speak to unlock

    Voice-verified friction.

    When you tap a locked app, Verbada asks you to say your affirmation aloud. Once your voice is verified on the device, the app opens.

  4. 04

    Reclaim your focus

    A clearer next step.

    Saying the intention out loud breaks the autopilot trance—you enter the app on purpose, or you close it.

Designed for your focus. Built for your self-worth.

Everything you need for intentional living.

  • On-device voice recognition

    Your voice never leaves your phone. Speech is checked on the device, in the moment. Verbada does not store the audio and does not upload it.

  • Session grace periods

    Unlocked an app to reply to a message? Set a 15-minute grace period so you don't have to repeat your phrase during an active conversation.

  • Quiet mode and a backup PIN

    In an office, a library, or anywhere you can't speak, use your backup PIN or one of your daily skips. Skips are capped each day so the pause still means something.

  • Affirmation library

    Choose from built-in lines—Productivity, Self-Worth, Calm, or Focus—or write your own. Optional AI lines are written from a short prompt, with the library as the fallback.

Invest in your peace of mind for less than an iced coffee a month.

Frequently asked questions

Does Verbada record my voice?

No. The phrase is checked on your phone so Verbada can tell you said it. The audio is not stored and is not uploaded. Your backup PIN stays in secure storage on the device.

What happens if I can't speak out loud because I'm in public?

Use your backup PIN, or one of your daily skips. Skips are limited each day, so the pause is still there tomorrow. You can also turn the lock off for a set stretch of time when you need quiet, like answering a message.

Is it easy to delete or cheat the app?

You can delete Verbada like any other app, and that removes the PIN and settings stored on the device. The pause is a moment of friction, not a vault: the PIN and a small number of daily skips are there on purpose, for times you can't speak. On iPhone, the apps you pick are held by Apple's Screen Time as tokens Verbada cannot read.

Can I cancel my trial easily?

Yes. The 7-day free trial and the subscription are billed by Apple or Google, not by this website. Cancel in your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings before the trial ends and you won't be charged. A paid plan cancels the same way and stays active until the period you already paid for ends.
