Screen Time Api?

It's great to see the new Screen Time controls added to iOS 12.


Is there, or will there be an API added that enables apps to access that Screen Time data?


I've built an app to help people off their phones and it would make such a difference to be able to use this data in my app to help my users break their phone checking habits.

I am interested in knowing Screentime API, too. It would be good for a productivity app.

yes - very much looking forward fro API to solve problems in screen addiction space.

I have got exactly the same question. Does Apple provide an API so that we can get benefit from this new feature or will it be close to developpers ?


Many thanks for a quick answer, i need to know if i stop developpement for iOS ?


Kindly

+1 I'd like to know as well.

Feel free to file a bug report requesting a new API: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/

Is there is a way to identify the app is in screen time mode ?

It seems that Apple has implemented an iOS ScreenTime API (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10123/) that provides functionality to parental control apps only. In other words, it cannot be used by other time-tracking or productivity apps at the moment.
