LitLock: Screen Time Control

LitLock is a Screen Time blocker that turns each blocked moment into something worth reading. Most tools built to cut screen time are good at exactly one thing: taking something away. Block a distracting app, and what's left is a bare warning screen. It works, but it doesn't give the phone anything better to do. LitLock takes a different approach. It's built on Apple's Screen Time framework, so blocking apps and categories works the normal way. The difference shows up once a session or schedule starts: instead of a warning screen, you get a passage from literature. At the center of the app is a literary clock. Check your phone at 3:47, and the passage on screen is one where that exact time appears in the original text. The library holds more than 1,500 such passages, each credited to its author and title. The result is a small, steady invitation to read: one passage at a time, all day long.
