Follow this guide https://www.foqos.app/blocking-native-apps.html Your welcome ;)
Best app ever!!!
I’ve tried absolutely everything and nothing else helped my scrolling except this app, and the best part is it’s completely free and so user friendly. The little prompts that pop up when you try to scroll are so helpful at keeping you on task, and it turns into a game to see how long you can go without turning it off. Thank you so much to the creator of this app, I owe you my life!!

Fix needed
Hello amazing developers. App works wonderfully. Unfortunately when I tried to use an old credit card as my nfc trigger it doesn’t detect it. I know it works because I can make a shortcut in the shortcuts app that triggers instantly. Could you add a fix to allow people to use different types of nfc triggers? Thanks!
Edit: Thank you devs for the quick response! Could you add a module inside shortcuts to trigger breaks on and off? That would be perfect as then you could set up more advanced automations on how to take a break.
Another feature request is app nudging. If you open an app on the distracting apps list it sends you a notification immediately or after a few minutes. That could also be paired with having to wait a set amount of second before the app lets you in.
I also wanted to mention something about the break system. I really like the idea, but I think it would be great to have a few more options for how breaks work.
For example, right now it seems like you can take breaks on and off whenever you want, up to a total of 15 minutes (or whatever you set). I’d love an option where you could take a 15-minute break, but then have to wait 30 minutes (or any time) before being able to take another one.
Basically, just having a few different break settings to choose from would be awesome. Thanks again!

Apple developers aren’t allowed to read NFC tags from credit cards, it’s a limitation I can’t fix unfortunately
Love this app
I didn’t want to pay for a physical phone brick, and I love this app’s features! Even on free only, it’s helped me cut down my screen time significant more than relying on the ios app limits.
Great app, incredible that it’s free
Feature request: ability to copy/duplicate profiles. I want the same profile to re-trigger at different times cause I often unset the one I set for bedtime and want a second one as a reminder.
How is this free
The fact this is free and on the Apple Store is unbelievable

Better that brick
Life changer
This app has changed my life thank you so much for creating this and making it free and accessible to everyone I truly have taken back control of my life
Awesome
Was frustrated by the lack of automation features in Brick, this does exactly what I want instead. Thank you for making this!
Best app
Really cool idea and perfect execution.
Best focus app i ever used
As a person pursuing professional course which requires giving countless hours to study i can say that this is the best app i ever used . Before this i used several apps which are filled with ads and payments and not having enough features . I never ever disappointed with this apps . I was looking forward to buy something called “brick” but its too expensive and i checked for alternative and subsequently i found this app first i was skeptical to use this app but once i used i would say that this is awesome and the developer earned my respect. Its compatible with everything like qr code , nfc tag , and even with apple short cut . I have been using it for more than 6 months
Recently i seen this app featured in mr whose the boss youtube channel and i think this app deserves it.
Respect to the team behind it

Scored 10 Points Higher than avg on my med school exams
this app has single handedly improved my grades without feeling like I am missing out on socials
Awesome app to control the dopamine release
I used to waste a lot of time watching YouTube and scrolling videos, this app helps me control the urge by blocking it and helps me sleep early as I have nothing else to do.
Saving me from myself
Game changer for me, the physical step of needing to scan an nfc tag (how I set it up, it’s flexible) is amazing. Much more helpful than the built in screen time. And it’s open source. And, bonus, being able to change the icon is nice too. My favorite is the little cat staring at the hourglass.
AMAZING
this is an amazing app!!! THANK YOU for making it free and no subscription!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Life changing!
Literally got 15 hours of my life back over one week!
Great app
Great app with a great developer who is active and answers questions. This is a much better alternative than the version of this app that make you pay. I usually never leave reviews on apps but this one has made a huge difference for me, so much so that I even donated to the dev
Helps me prevent doomscrolling
Simple setup and helps me restrict myself from endless usage of apps.
