## What is Block Apps?

**Cran closes the apps that eat your time. And it doesn't reopen them just because you insist.**

Pick the apps, say when they should close: a time window, or a daily usage limit. Cran handles the rest, without you opening anything.

**The block holds**
Rules apply on their own, including after a restart or an iOS update. Nothing to refresh by hand.

**Reopening costs fifteen minutes**
No “ignore” button, no “five more minutes”, no end time you can quietly move. Unlocking a rule starts a delay you cannot shorten. That's what separates a decision from an impulse — and it's the whole difference with a block you switch off in two taps.

**You are never trapped**
Deleting Cran immediately frees every app. “Free everything” is two taps away inside the app. Cran constrains you; it never locks you in.

**One purchase, not a subscription**
Seven days of the full app, then $14.99 once. Cran costs nothing to run: everything happens on your iPhone, with no account, no server and no data to resell. Nothing would justify billing you every year.

**What Cran cannot know**
iOS only hands it anonymous tokens: Cran has no idea which apps you block. It cannot read them, and cannot send them anywhere. No data leaves the device.

**Before you install**
- An adult can always revoke Screen Time access in iOS Settings. No app, including this one, can prevent that — it's an iOS limit, and you deserve to read it here rather than discover it after paying.
- Website blocking works in Safari. Other browsers are blocked as apps.
