iOS Screen Time from a REST API

What is iOS Screen Time from a REST API?

iOS Screen Time from a REST API is an open-source tool developed by Clearspace that provides programmatic access to iOS Screen Time data through a REST interface. Created by founders Oliver and Royce, the tool enables developers to retrieve and integrate Apple device usage metrics into custom applications and workflows. The API allows users to access their Screen Time information—including app usage duration, notification counts, and device pickup frequency—without relying solely on Apple's native interface. This enables developers to build personalized analytics dashboards, generate custom reports, or integrate Screen Time data into broader productivity and wellness applications. The product targets developers and builders who want to leverage Screen Time data for health and productivity applications. It's particularly useful for those creating screen time reduction tools, digital wellbeing platforms, or habit-tracking applications that require detailed usage insights. As an open-source project, the tool is freely available and community-driven, allowing developers to inspect the code, contribute improvements, and adapt it for their specific needs. This approach makes it accessible for independent developers and organizations building solutions around digital wellness without licensing costs or vendor lock-in.
