## What is HabitBlocker?

Your apps are locked. Complete your habits to unlock them.

HabitBlocker uses Apple's Screen Time API to genuinely block the apps and websites you choose. No "Ignore Limit" button. No workarounds. Your distracting apps stay locked until you earn them back by completing healthy daily habits.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose what to block — pick specific apps, websites, or entire categories
2. Set your daily habits — exercise, meditate, read, drink water, or create your own
3. Complete habits to unlock — each habit earns you screen time minutes
4. When time runs out, apps lock again — motivating you to keep building habits

THREE HABIT TYPES

• Tap — Mark simple habits as done with a single tap
• Timer — Set timed activities like 10 minutes of reading or meditation
• Counter — Track quantities like glasses of water or pages read

FEATURES THAT KEEP YOU ON TRACK

• Smart Scheduling — Set habits for specific days (e.g., gym Mon/Wed/Fri)
• Streaks & Stats — 30-day trend charts, monthly heatmap, screen time saved
• Live Activity — Countdown timer right on your Lock Screen
• Home Screen Widget — Check your daily progress at a glance
• Milestone Achievements — Unlock badges like Week Warrior and Monthly Master
• Per-Habit Reminders — Custom notification times for each habit
• Holiday Mode — Pause blocking when you're on vacation
• Share Progress — Generate a branded stats card for social media

WHY HABITBLOCKER WORKS

Unlike Screen Time limits you can tap "Ignore," HabitBlocker uses Family Controls to create a real barrier between you and your distracting apps. The only way through is doing something good for yourself first.

PRIVACY FIRST

• All data stays on your device
• No account required
• No tracking, no analytics, no data collection

One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads.
