## What is Tyri?

Control your phone with a tap. Block uses NFC tags to instantly toggle app blocking on or off. Register a tag, choose apps to block, then tap to lock or unlock. No menus, no passwords, just a physical switch for your digital life.
Built on iOS Screen Time, so blocking is enforced by the system. Includes an emergency override for when you need access. Simple, fast, and effective.
Requires iPhone with NFC and iOS 15 or later.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-07-19

Bug fixes and new features!

### 2.1.0 — 2026-06-04

Block now separates your apps from your rules — so you can set things up once and reuse them everywhere.

  NEW: Lists & Blocks
  • Lists — group your apps once (like "Social media" or "Games").
  • Blocks — apply blocking rules to any of your lists. Mix and match freely; one list can power several blocks.
  • A new tab bar makes Home, Lists, and Blocks easy to reach.

  NEW: Usage timers
  Give a block a daily time budget. Hit it, and those apps lock for a set period — a real stop for mindless scrolling, even when nothing's scheduled. The budget refreshes after each lockout and every day.

  THREE WAYS TO BLOCK
  Every block is one clear type:
  • Schedule — block during set hours.
  • Timer — block after a daily usage limit.
  • Tag — tap your NFC tag to toggle on and off.

  Your existing setup carries over automatically.
