## What is STFU?

Your phone needs to STFU.

Block the social apps and websites stealing your attention. Reclaim your time. Build better habits. Challenge friends. Earn points for staying off the feed.

STFU is a voluntary self-control tool for adults who are done pretending Screen Time is enough. You pick what needs to shut up. STFU locks it.

WHAT STFU DOES
• Block social apps on iPhone (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and whatever else owns your thumb)
• Block the websites too, so Safari is not the back door
• Run timed STFU sessions when you need a hard mute
• Set bedtime and scheduled locks that hold overnight
• Track protected time, streaks, and points
• Challenge friends and climb a weekly leaderboard
• Share cards when you actually did the thing

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps that need to STFU
2. Start a session or schedule a lock
3. STFU blocks those apps and domains
4. Reclaim time, beat your friends, earn rewards

FREE VS STFU PRO
Core blocking works on Free. STFU Pro unlocks extra schedules and limits, week trends, and more of the product around the lock - not a tollbooth on Apple's block button.

STFU PRO
• Weekly: $4.99
• Annual: $49.99 with a 3-day free trial

Auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple ID. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

STFU is a wellness and productivity tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or mental health condition. Points and trophies are status, not cash. Real-money bounties are not live.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-09-14

Bedtime now counts the morning after — the hours you were locked, on your clock.

A session through midnight stays locked. Instagram and the rest cannot sneak back in.

Spend your daily muted-apps time and Chrome locks too, if you share with it.

Friends week is sessions they started. Lifetime is labeled separately. Muted-apps time is clearer on Home.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-12

Bedtime now counts the morning after - the hours you were locked, on your clock.

A session through midnight stays locked. Instagram and the rest cannot sneak back in.

Friends week is sessions they started. Lifetime is labeled separately. Muted-apps time is clearer on Home.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-10

Bedtime and desk hours now count toward the time you STFUd today. Friends week still only counts sessions you started.

New weekend challenge! lock it in during the week and the clock waits for Saturday. Ends Monday at midnight.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-08

Your daily budget now starts counting the moment you set it up. If yours never seemed to kick in, this was why. It fixes itself the first time you open the app.

Changing your budget or your muted apps no longer resets the day's count.

"Unlock everything now" really does keep everything off for two hours, including bedtime and desk hours.

Clearer wording throughout, and a five-minute minimum budget so it can actually do its job.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-07

Challenges, fixed.

• Send a bet and you'll actually know it went through. The confirmation takes over the screen and tells you your points are held.
• Picking one friend now says so, and shows you can pull up to four more into the same pot.
• The leaderboard button says CHALLENGE THE LEADER, because that's what it does.
• You can't start a second challenge with someone you're already up against. It shows you what's already running instead.
• Challenges nobody finishes now close themselves out instead of sitting in your list forever.
• You show up as "You" in your own challenge list, not your username.
