Sossego blocks the apps that steal your hours — and shows you how much you got back. No account, no sign-up, no subscription. HOW IT WORKS Pick the 2 or 3 apps that pull hardest at your hand. Set a schedule — or block right now. When you try to open a blocked app, Sossego shows up instead. TWO MODES • Pause — a 10-second breath before you decide. If you still want in, you get in: 5 minutes, then the block returns. • Lock — no way out until the schedule ends. Turning it on asks for confirmation, because there's no going back. DAILY PROTECTION A schedule that turns itself on, every day. Quiet nights, work hours, mornings without feeds — or your own. No willpower required. WHAT YOU GET BACK Every time you walk away, Sossego counts the time back. Every Sunday morning, a weekly summary: how many hours you recovered — in hours, not in promises. PRIVACY Your apps and your usage stay on your device. We send only anonymous statistics about how the app works — never who you are or what you block. Sossego uses Apple's Screen Time API: the apps you pick are identified by codes not even we can read. FREE Today Sossego is free: everything you see is unlocked. No ads, no in-app purchases. Made in Brazil. ## Key features - Block distracting apps - Customizable blocking schedules - Pause mode with a 10-second delay - Lock mode for strict blocking - Daily automatic protection - Weekly time recovery summary - Privacy-focused on-device data ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sossego-block-apps/id6795749493/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Exatamente o que eu precisava *2026-09-17* Só consigo parar de mexer nas redes se estiverem desinstaladas do meu celular. Caso contrário, eu não consigo me controlar e isso me incomoda demais. Esse app faz exatamente o que eu preciso: impede meu uso de maneira objetiva. A única coisa que eu queria é que não houvesse limite de horas permitidas para bloquear por dia. Ele limita a somente 12h por dia e eu gostaria de bloquear meus aplicativos viciantes por mais tempo. Fora isso, é excelente! ## Frequently asked questions about Sossego ### How does Sossego help me focus?

Internal tweaks to anonymous usage stats — nothing new about you: still no account, no app names, everything stays on your device. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-25 This version makes it clearer what's going on — on the block screen, on Home and in Progress. • The block screen looks like Sossego and names the app (or category) that's blocked, and until when. • In Pause, every button says what a tap does: start the 10-second breather, tap again, or enter anyway for 5 minutes. The app only opens when you choose that. • Home shows the real state: what's blocked, until when and in which mode — and "Extend the block" when it makes sense. • New: with daily protection in Pause, "Lock until the window ends" turns it into a Lock right away. • Progress and the Sunday summary are more direct: "times closed without going in", the 15 minutes back explained, and "Protected time" saying what it measures. • Removed and restored the Screen Time authorization in the iPhone's Settings? Protection comes back on its own, schedules included. • Stability fixes for schedules that cross midnight, session endings and the weekly close. ### 1.0 — 2026-08-21 No release notes. ## More apps by DocPocket Tecnologia da Informacao Ltda - [Little Shift](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/little-shift/id1292109100) - [Work Hour Manager Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/work-hour-manager-pro/id1390903712) - [Work Hour Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/work-hour-manager/id1395675561) - [Legal Calendar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/legal-calendar/id6495065863) - [My Patient Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-patient-manager/id6755007416) - [Cadeira: Agenda e Caixa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cadeira-agenda-e-caixa/id6760574180) All apps by DocPocket Tecnologia da Informacao Ltda: https://appshunter.io/developer/1245886720 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
