Block the distractions. Get things done. FlowShizz shuts out the apps and websites that eat your day — for a stretch of time you choose. No willpower required, because once a block starts, it runs to the end. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most blockers stop at websites. FlowShizz blocks apps too — Instagram, TikTok, the games, whatever your particular weakness is — alongside any website you name. And it doesn't let you off. There's no "end early" button, no talking yourself out of it at minute four. That's the entire point. Pick your duration honestly, and FlowShizz holds the line. QUICK BLOCK Your usual suspects, saved and ready. Choose how long, hit start, get on with it. PRESETS & SCHEDULER Save named sets for different parts of your life — Deep Work, Evenings, Study — and let them run themselves. Choose the days and the hours once, and the block arrives on its own. Late shifts and night owls are covered too: windows can run past midnight. POMODORO An optional work-and-break timer to ride along with your block. Work 25, break 5, longer break after four rounds, with a gentle chime at each change. LIVE ACTIVITY Your countdown sits on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you always know how long is left without opening anything. FLOWSHIZZ PRO — BLOCK YOUR MAC TOO FlowShizz has a free Mac app. Pro makes one tap block both machines: • Tap Start on your iPhone and your Mac locks down within seconds • The same lists and schedules apply on both, so you decide once • Your Mac and your iPhone block in completely different ways — FlowShizz handles the difference One payment. For life. No subscription, ever. And the 14-day trial doesn't even begin until your two devices have actually linked up — so none of it runs down while you're still setting the other one up. PRIVACY FlowShizz collects nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Anything shared between your devices travels privately through your own iCloud account, and nobody — including us — can see it. Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time system, which is why nothing about your app usage ever leaves your device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FlowShizz at none against Pomodoro's shown. FlowShizz also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Pomodoro's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
