FocusCard is the app blocker you plan like a calendar. Instead of starting a timer every time you want to focus, you lay your blocks on a 24-hour grid once — and the day defends itself. Drag a block onto the hour you want protected. Stretch it to the length you need. Choose which apps and which websites stay outside it. From then on those apps shield themselves the second the block begins, and come back the second it ends. THE TIME GRID • A real 24-hour day view, not a list of toggles • Drag to place a card, drag its edge to resize it • Overlapping cards sit side by side in lanes, so a long work block and a short meeting block both stay readable • A live line follows the current time, so you always see what is guarding you right now • Pinch to zoom out to the week, the month, the year, or a five-year map of your habits 15 READY-MADE PRESETS No blank page. Tap a preset and it lands on the grid already timed, already repeating, already pointed at the right apps: • Deep Work — Morning Deep Work, Afternoon Sprint, Meeting Block • Study — Study Session, Exam Lockdown, Reading Hour • Family — Dinner Table, Kids Time • Evening — Evening Wind Down, Gym • Sleep — Lights Out, No Phone In Bed • Detox — Social Media Diet, News Detox, Weekend Reset THREE WAYS TO BLOCK • Soft — a shield you can pass when you genuinely mean it • Hard — no bypass while the block is running • Daily Limit — a budget instead of a ban: sessions per day, minutes per session, and a cooldown between them APP GROUPS YOU SET UP ONCE Sort your distractions into Social, Video, Games, Messaging, News and Shopping. Every preset and every new card pulls from those groups, so you never hunt through the picker twice. REPEATS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE Daily, weekdays, weekends, weekly, biweekly, monthly, every 3 or 6 months, yearly — or just one time. Build the week you want to live in and let it run. PAUSE WITHOUT LOSING IT Drag a card to the side rail when today genuinely needs to be different. It waits there instead of disappearing, and you can drop it back on the grid whenever you want. SEE THE WORK ADD UP Every block you hold becomes a completed session: levels, streaks and a focus score that rewards consistency. A journal keeps the moments you chose to stop and think instead of scroll. PRIVATE BY DESIGN FocusCard runs on Apple Screen Time (Family Controls). No VPN, no profile to install, no account to create. Your Screen Time and app usage stay on this device: FocusCard never uploads them and never sells them. MADE FOR Deep work and meeting-heavy days. Students and exam weeks. ADHD routines that work better when the decision is made in advance. Social media breaks, dopamine detox goals, and anyone who loses an evening to the feed. BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Native, fast, and at home in both light and dark mode. Stop negotiating with yourself at 9am. Place the card once, and let the day hold the line. FOCUSCARD PRO Free keeps one card live. Pro unlocks unlimited cards, repeating schedules, daily app limits and the full card editor.

This update tunes what is already there: steadier blocking, a lighter grid, and small fixes throughout. Place the card once, and let the day hold the line. ### 1.2.6 — 2026-10-03 FocusWall is now FocusCard. Same app, same cards, a name that matches what you actually place on the grid. You will see it on the Home Screen, on the shield that covers a blocked app, and on your Pro subscription. BLOCKING THAT CANNOT DRIFT • Every card now writes its own plan, and the shield is decided from that plan instead of from a background callback. A block can no longer outlive its window, and a window too short to register still blocks • Stale blocks left behind by earlier versions are found and cleared on launch, so a card you deleted can never keep an app shielded • A card whose window is open shields the moment you grant access, with no wait for the next schedule tick SCREEN TIME ACCESS THAT ACTUALLY ASKS • The banner that says blocking is off now does the thing it names: one tap asks iOS for Screen Time access, and once the answer can only be changed in Settings, the same tap takes you there • Settings shows the real state of the permission and asks for it in place • When Screen Time refuses, you get the reason and the fix instead of silence: restricted device, a managed or child account, another app already holding the permission, or no device passcode set SEVEN LANGUAGES • The permission screens and every one of those messages are now translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Turkish and Arabic Place the card once, and let the day hold the line. ### 1.2.5 — 2026-10-03 FocusWall is now a scheduler. • Plan your blocks on a 24-hour time grid — drag to place, drag the edge to resize • 15 ready-made presets across Deep Work, Study, Family, Evening, Sleep and Detox • Three block modes: Soft, Hard, and a Daily Limit budget with sessions, minutes and cooldown • App groups — sort your distractions once into Social, Video, Games, Messaging, News and Shopping • Repeats from daily and weekdays all the way to yearly • Pinch to zoom out to week, month, year and five-year views • Pause a wall to the side rail instead of deleting it • The app now follows your system light or dark appearance Plan the wall once, and let the day hold the line. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-30 No release notes. ## Apps similar to FocusCard | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [SummarizeIt](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/summarizeit/id6752329825) | — | Free | Productivity | | [Business Card Scanner CardScan](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/business-card-scanner-cardscan/id6802196754) | — | Free | Productivity | | [RecRemover](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/recremover/id6762534286) | — | Free | Productivity | | [MeetingInsights: AI Minutes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/meetinginsights-ai-minutes/id6805605757) | — | Free | Productivity | | [BetterHistory](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/betterhistory/id6767071488) | — | Free | Productivity | | [Kiri - Private offline AI App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kiri-private-offline-ai-app/id6790358149) | — | Free | Productivity | ## More apps by Cihat Salik - [GitHubba - Discover Repos](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/githubba-discover-repos/id6747093581) - [Typing Trainer: StarType](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/typing-trainer-startype/id6747320692) - [Streak Chart: Habit Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/streak-chart-habit-tracker/id6747408568) - [Swiftdays: Event Timer,Counter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/swiftdays-event-timercounter/id6747647326) - [TaskCard: Visual Day Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/taskcard-visual-day-planner/id6747799762) - [FluidCanvas: Marbling/Ebru Art](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fluidcanvas-marblingebru-art/id6747934351) All apps by Cihat Salik: https://appshunter.io/developer/1819820065 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
