About

BuddyGuard – App & Site Blocker Beat brainrot with a buddy. You already know which apps you can't stop opening. TikTok. Instagram. Reddit. YouTube. The scroll never ends. BuddyGuard is different. It doesn't just block — it locks. And the only way back in is through someone you trust. Here's how it works: Pick the apps and websites pulling you off track. Choose one accountability buddy — a friend, partner, or family member. From that moment on, every access request goes straight to them. They get the code. Not you. No willpower required. No sneaking past your own blockers. Just real accountability, built into your phone. FEATURES Block any app or website Choose what gets locked — social media, news, games, anything. BuddyGuard enforces it at the system level using iOS Screen Time. Buddy OTP system When you want access, your buddy receives a one-time code. They decide whether to share it. You never see the code inside the app. Buddy health bar Your Buddy character starts each day at 100% health. Every access request costs health points. Keep your buddy thriving by staying focused. Day streaks Finish each day above 70% health to keep your streak alive. Build consistency one day at a time. Earn rewards Complete achievements to unlock cosmetic items for your Buddy — hats, accessories, and more. Stay consistent, earn more. Customize your Buddy Choose your Buddy's color. Unlock outfits by hitting milestones. Make it yours. Strict Mode When Strict Mode is on, restrictions can't be turned off without Buddy approval — no exceptions. Privacy Mode Enable it and your Buddy only sees that access was requested — not which app or site you wanted. WHO IT'S FOR BuddyGuard is for anyone who's tried every other blocker and found a way around it. If you've deleted an app and reinstalled it 10 minutes later, this is for you. It's for people who want to actually change — and know they need someone else in their corner to do it. SUBSCRIPTION BuddyGuard offers an auto-renewable subscription (Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly options). Price is shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Your subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://buddyguardblocker.com/privacy.html IMPORTANT BuddyGuard is a personal accountability tool, not a medical or emergency service. It does not replace professional support, therapy, or counseling. Screen Time permission is required to block apps on iOS. Download BuddyGuard free and meet your buddy today.

What's New in BuddyGuard

1.2.1

June 22, 2026

Main feature fix — background blocking The big one: blocks now start and stop on their own, even when BuddyGuard is fully closed. Added a Device Activity Monitor extension (BuddyGuardMonitor) — a background process iOS runs on schedule. New syncSchedule(...) logic registers a repeating daily/custom blocking window with iOS, so shields apply and lift at the window boundaries automatically instead of only when the app was open. The app now mirrors your block list (apps + websites) into a shared App Group so the background monitor shields the exact same apps/domains when it fires. Refactored website host handling into a shared hostVariants(...) helper (apex + www. variants, capped at 50 domains) used by both the app and the monitor. Added the Family Controls + App Group entitlements to the new monitor extension so it's allowed to enforce shields. Supporting changes Version bumped to 1.2.1, build 41, across all targets. Project/signing config updated for the new monitor extension's bundle ID and capabilities. App Store Connect side (not code) Removed the duplicate promotional subscription images, added Apple's Terms of Use (EULA) + privacy disclosure to the listing, and the subscription screen now shows a friendly "Try Again" instead of a blocking error.
