Hyud - Screen Time & Focus

Most of us use our phones way more than we'd like to admit. Hyud is a simple idea: instead of relying on willpower to resist distractions, just block them. Hyud uses Apple's official API to block apps and websites directly on your iPhone. No workarounds, no loopholes. Focus Sessions Create sessions where you pick exactly which apps, websites, and categories to block, then set a duration and go. You can start a session manually whenever you need to lock in, or schedule them to repeat on specific days and times so everything is blocked before you even think about it. A live countdown on your home screen shows how much time is left. Allowances Not everything needs to be fully blocked. With allowances, you set a daily time budget for specific apps or categories. Use them freely until your time runs out, then they're blocked until midnight. It's a good middle ground if you're not ready to go all-in. Block Zones Pick locations on a map, like your office, a library, or the gym, and choose what gets blocked when you're there. Hyud uses geofencing to detect when you arrive and leave, so blocking starts and stops without you having to do anything. Shield Screen When you open a blocked app, a full-screen shield takes over. By default it shows a simple message, but you can swap it for motivational quotes, health tips, business advice, or jokes. You can even enable multiple categories at once so you get a random one each time. Screen Time Analytics See how you actually spend your time. Hyud shows your daily screen time, your most-used apps, an hourly breakdown of your activity, a weekly heatmap, and a breakdown by category. It's all powered by Apple's Screen Time data, so the numbers are accurate. Focus Analytics Track how much time you've spent focused over the past week, month, or year. Charts show your daily averages and long-term trends so you can see whether your habits are actually improving. Goals Set a personal goal with a start date and deadline. A visual day-dot grid shows how far you've come and how much time is left, giving you a clear sense of progress. Profile and Badges As you complete focus sessions, you earn badges ranging from Beginner all the way to Monk at 500 sessions. Your profile card shows your rank, total focus hours, session count, and a year-long heatmap of your activity. Emergency Stop If something urgent comes up, you can disable all blocking instantly. To prevent accidental use, you need to type a random string to confirm, and there's a one-week cooldown between uses. Customization Pick from 5 themes and 42 app icon variants to make Hyud feel like yours. Available in 18 languages. Also available on Mac.
