Go Gray is an iPhone app by ATAREH STUDIOS INC that puts grayscale one tap away. A gray screen makes apps less tempting, so you pick up your phone less. Go Gray adds 30-minute color breaks, nudges when you have spent too long on apps you choose, and a log of your time in color.
How much does Go Gray cost?

How is Go Gray different from the built-in iPhone grayscale shortcut?
iPhone already has a grayscale Color Filter, which you can switch with the Accessibility Shortcut (triple-click). Go Gray uses that same filter, but adds a one-tap Go Gray Toggle for Control Center, the Action button or Back Tap, 30-minute color breaks that switch you back to gray by themselves, nudges on the apps you choose, and a log of your time in color.
Does Go Gray switch grayscale on automatically?
No. You switch grayscale yourself with one tap. The only automatic switch is the end of a 30-minute color break, which turns your screen gray again.
What data does Go Gray collect?
Go Gray uses Apple’s Screen Time framework (Family Controls, Device Activity and Managed Settings). The apps you choose are stored as private tokens from Apple, so Go Gray cannot see their names. Your screen time stays on your iPhone, and Go Gray never uploads, sells or shares it. The full details are in the Privacy Policy at gogray.today/privacy.
