## What is FlowShizz?

Block the distractions. Get things done.

FlowShizz shuts out the apps and websites that eat your day — for a stretch of time you choose. No willpower required, because once a block starts, it runs to the end.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Most blockers stop at websites. FlowShizz blocks apps too — Instagram, TikTok, the games, whatever your particular weakness is — alongside any website you name.

And it doesn't let you off. There's no "end early" button, no talking yourself out of it at minute four. That's the entire point. Pick your duration honestly, and FlowShizz holds the line.

QUICK BLOCK
Your usual suspects, saved and ready. Choose how long, hit start, get on with it.

PRESETS & SCHEDULER
Save named sets for different parts of your life — Deep Work, Evenings, Study — and let them run themselves. Choose the days and the hours once, and the block arrives on its own. Late shifts and night owls are covered too: windows can run past midnight.

POMODORO
An optional work-and-break timer to ride along with your block. Work 25, break 5, longer break after four rounds, with a gentle chime at each change.

LIVE ACTIVITY
Your countdown sits on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you always know how long is left without opening anything.

FLOWSHIZZ PRO — BLOCK YOUR MAC TOO
FlowShizz has a free Mac app. Pro makes one tap block both machines:

• Tap Start on your iPhone and your Mac locks down within seconds
• The same lists and schedules apply on both, so you decide once
• Your Mac and your iPhone block in completely different ways — FlowShizz handles the difference

One payment. For life. No subscription, ever. And the 14-day trial doesn't even begin until your two devices have actually linked up — so none of it runs down while you're still setting the other one up.

PRIVACY
FlowShizz collects nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Anything shared between your devices travels privately through your own iCloud account, and nobody — including us — can see it.

Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time system, which is why nothing about your app usage ever leaves your device.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-09-02

Fixes an issue where updating from version 1.0.4 could clear your saved block lists.

Also in this version:
- Scheduled blocks now always unblock on time when their window ends
- The schedule on/off switch syncs correctly between iPhone and Mac, and switching off during a running window now takes effect from the next window
- Fixes a Lock Screen card that could get stuck saying "block ended"

### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-01

NEW: Pomodoro Block. Enforced focus, enforced breaks. Your distractions block during every focus stretch and unlock during breaks - and the break ends whether you like it or not. Real system alarms announce each transition, chiming through Silent and Focus, with a live countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island showing exactly which stretch you're on. Part of FlowShizz Pro.

Also in this version:
- A fresh home screen: pick your mode from one clear menu
- Schedules and presets now sync more reliably with the Mac app
- Plenty of polish and bug fixes throughout

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-19

Drop in an app or a website mid-block.

Thought of something else after you'd started? Add it to the block that's already running — an app or a site — and it's shut for the rest of the session. You still can't take anything out. A block only ever gets stronger.

Different hours on different days.

Schedules used to apply the same hours to every day you picked. Now each day has its own — 9 to 5 Monday to Thursday, 9 to 1 on Friday, whatever suits. Your existing schedules carry over exactly as they were.

Fixed: short blocks now end on their own. A block under fifteen minutes could leave your apps locked until you next opened FlowShizz.

Fixed: the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island now say "Block finished" instead of freezing at 0:00 when a block ends.

Fixed: the "block ended" notification arrives when the block ends, rather than the next time you open the app.

Fixed: editing a preset on one device no longer wipes the other device's apps from it.

Fixed: the Screen Time access prompt no longer reappears after force-quitting.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-12
