What's New in Arc

1.0.13

August 3, 2026

Blocking, on your terms. SCHEDULED BLOCKING Choose the hours that matter, like weekdays 9 to 5 or every evening, and your distracting apps simply won't open. Set one schedule for everything, or give any app its own. BLOCK INDEFINITELY Need something gone for a while? Block a single app, or every app you track, until you decide to turn it back on. TIMED BREAKS Genuinely need a blocked app? Take a break of 5 to 30 minutes. It unblocks, then blocks itself again when the time is up, so there's nothing to remember. A CLEAN SLATE EVERY DAY Switch on daily reset and any limits you loosened during the day snap back to your defaults overnight. SEE IT AT A GLANCE Every app now shows its blocking schedule right in your list. Tap it to jump straight to the settings. BUILT AROUND WHAT DRIVES YOU Faith is now one of the goals you can pick during setup, with tasks, habits and reminders that fit.

User reviews

why.

I literally spent 15 minutes writing my goals and then it told me to subscribe to the app. This wasted so much of my time and I don’t understand why we can’t just help others in a kind way rather than having to earn money out of it. Please make a way to do it free.

A great app, if you weren’t forced into a subscription

Im not paying a monthly subscription to use this app. Nope, most screen time apps will make a subscription a part of a pro tier and still keep basic functionality free. Why cant arc be like that? Anyways I wont change how I feel about this app unless arc allows me to at least have SOME free functionality.

Glitch?

I was loving using the blocking feature of this app until today it glitched out and is saying I’ve only spent 54 minutes on Instagram (I’ve spent way more) and will not lock me out even after spending 30 minutes on Instagram (the app it’s supposed to block). I was wondering if there’s a way to fix this (I use the free version)

Not working

Cool idea but not working for me. I set everything up right but the session timer isn’t going up. Hope they fix it

Response from developer

If you’re open to it, email us at hello@arcapp.io with a quick note about what you’re seeing (a screenshot helps a lot), and we’ll dig in and help get things working for you. Thanks again for trying our app, it really means a lot to us!

Great Idea

Has given me so much time for real life activities. No more wasting time scrolling.
