OffKit helps you stop impulsive scrolling and use your phone intentionally. Block distracting apps and categories, then choose what it takes to regain access. Unlock with a QR code placed in another room, reach a daily step goal, or complete your Apple Watch Move or Exercise ring. That small real-world action interrupts the doomscrolling habit loop. Create focused scenarios for studying, work, evenings, or sleep. Choose flexible durations, protect changes with Face ID or Touch ID, and add a disable countdown when you want extra friction. OffKit uses Apple's Screen Time and HealthKit APIs. Your scenarios and activity data stay on your device and are never sold.
