## What is Sleep App Blocker?

Sound familiar? You meant to be asleep an hour ago – but your thumb just keeps scrolling. CrocoFocus puts an end to that. Gently, without pressure, and with a crocodile who's just as tired as you are.

Here's how it works: When it's bedtime, you slide Croco to sleep. From that moment, your chosen distracting apps are blocked – until Croco wakes up in the morning. No negotiating with yourself at midnight. You already made the decision back when you were thinking clearly.

CrocoFocus uses Apple's Screen Time technology (Family Controls) to do this. The block is real – not a reminder pop-up you can just swipe away.

What's waiting for you:

A friendly crocodile as your bedtime companion – you tuck Croco in, not yourself
A calm nighttime design that winds you down instead of waking you up
Real app blocking via Apple's Screen Time – until your wake-up time
A streak counter that celebrates every successful night
Completely private: no data is collected, everything stays on your device

CrocoFocus Premium (optional):

For free, you can block one app of your choice – often that's all it takes. Premium unlocks blocking multiple apps. Available as a monthly subscription, yearly subscription, or one-time purchase (lifetime).

No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Just you, Croco, and good nights again at last.

Sleep tight.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-20

Croco now falls asleep on schedule on every supported iPhone. On some devices he stayed awake despite a set bedtime — this also affected Croco's shield and your streak.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-11

Croco came to life.

  He blinks, follows your finger, and yawns before he settles. When you send
  him to sleep, he drifts off properly instead of just fading away — and the
  same Croco now meets you on the lock screen when you reach for a blocked app.

  Also new in this version:

  • Your own words on the lock screen. Write the line Croco shows you when
    you try to open a blocked app — it lands harder in your voice than in ours.
  • A bedtime that's already sensible. Setup starts with real hours filled in
    instead of a blank schedule you have to invent at 11pm.
  • Finish setup on your terms. You can walk through the whole setup first and
    grant Screen Time access when you're actually ready.
  • One rough night stays one rough night. A missed night costs a single night
    now, not the whole streak you built.

  Plus a calmer, clearer first run and a lot of small repairs throughout.

  Sleep tight.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-30

This update makes getting started with Croco a lot easier:

• Streamlined setup – fewer steps, plus clear help if Screen Time access doesn't go through
• New: a practice slider during onboarding. Try the resist-the-urge moment before you need it at 1am
• Redesigned home screen: an awake Croco and your sleep schedule at a glance
• Croco's shield screen is now easy to read on every device
• Your streak reliably counts every night you see through again
• "Restore Purchases" now works even on a patchy connection
• A help link for when the app picker shows unfamiliar names

Sleep well.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-23

Bug fix: Screen Time permission could get stuck in some cases – now more reliable, with a clear hint if something goes wrong.

Onboarding improved: clearer steps for granting permissions and a new practice view.

New: FAQ link if an app doesn't show up in the picker.

Improved logic for the free tier of blockable apps.

Refreshed design for the home/wake screen with new croco illustrations.

Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-14

No release notes.
