This app is great, but
This app does everything I could ask for it to do, however there is a bug that makes you unable to delete a site from being blocked or change the block after it has already been added. It just causes the whole app to crash to Home Screen. I guess this does keep you from unblocking things for your self that you are trying to stop using. But it would be preferable if the app still functioned properly. I will change this review if this gets updated.Show lessdnk00000000
Perfect
Exactly what I was looking for. Simple with clean execution. Thank you Mr. devkennethfolk
Pretty great, maybe almost perfect
Pros: Minimalist interface with lots of room for configuration.
Cons (minor IMO, some easy fixes for dev tho):
- Works via Xcode, which means you need to type a \ before special characters (e.g. facebook\.com). For some reason, this app’s keyboard doesn’t have a “\” key. To manually type an address, I have to write it in “Notes” and copy it over.
- The first several times I launched it, it immediately came up with a full screen page asking me to enable it in Safari extensions when I already had. I almost thought I couldn’t use the app - turns out you can swipe down on that full screen page and get into the app. After quitting safari and a:b twice, it seemed to go away
- After putting in a website in correct format, there was a delay before that website was actually blocked. Not sure what triggered it finally. I thought app was broken and even downloaded a different app (Ochi), set it up, then realized this was working. I prefer this to Ochi, for now, due to its minimalist approach and minimal bloat.
- Also, I guess for sake of completion maybe this app is hard for non-technical people to use because software things like “\” before special characters may not be common knowledge ?? Idk, doubt anyone is reading this but figured I’d say it.Show lessSomeKid1111

Thanks so much for the detailed description. I’ll look into your suggestions :)Very quick and easy
This feels like it could be part of Safari it’s been integrated so well. It’s unfortunate the technical name is probably why more people don’t buy it. My only gripe is the text gets truncated for some reason with larger text size. I could still figure out what it meant but that needs a little more spit and polish.Show lessMarkCashMoney
Wonderful and simple website blocker
This app does a wonderful job at blocking distracting websites. The ability to add new urls from Safari’s share menu is an excellent feature that really helps build a list of sites to block quickly.
The only thing that this app needs is an import and export feature. Not everyone uses the cloud sync feature.Show lessJishenaz

Wish it had the option of longer strings!
This app has a cool feature where You can set it so that you have to type in a string of random numbers before you can access the website. I think this is a really cool idea, but I wish I was an option to increase the length of the random’s trying to say, 500 digits, to make it a real dissuasion from visiting my favorite dish rafting websites like Reddit or InstagramShow lesspmurTreveN
Does exactly what it says
Wanted to stop constantly checking the news on my phone. Typed in the websites. Boom. It blocked them. Works perfectly for my needs.Cordoni84
Exactly what I wanted!
This app, unlike other “blocking” apps, allows you to drill down to specific web pages to block those without affecting the rest of the site. Perfect for if I want to isolate only certain parts of a site without having to block off the whole thing. I love it! It also has a video demonstration for how to use the app to generate the URL you want to block instead of copy-pasting and escaping all the special characters manually. It’s great!Show lesswhiskeyii
