Slacking off again today? Change your surroundings. Promised yourself you'd really study today, and didn't keep it again? Stop relying on willpower and let technology guard your focus. Turn on monk mode with MonkMate, and those apps simply won't open until it ends. β–  Block apps, categories, and websites at once Pick apps and categories from the Screen Time list, then add sites. Deleting apps is blocked too while monk mode runs. β–  Once it starts, it can't be stopped Pick 15 minutes to 2 hours, or set your own. While it runs, you can only add time or add things to block. β–  Time left, right on the Lock Screen Time left shows in a Live Activity and the Dynamic Island. Each time you back out of a blocked app, it counts toward this session. β–  Hand over the key when holding on is hardest Lock your Screen Time passcode in the key vault. To get it back, you ask and wait the time you chose (1 hour to 7 days), and it only opens after the current monk mode ends. No need to remember the passcode. β–  See your focus in numbers Today's focus time, your streak, and the last 14 days at a glance. Sign in with the same account and focus time from iPhone and Mac adds up. β–  MonkMate never sees which apps you use MonkMate only knows how many apps and categories you picked. Even when you try to open a blocked app, Apple doesn't share its name, so MonkMate only counts. β–  On Mac, too The Mac app blocks apps and websites together, with an allowlist that keeps only the sites you need and scheduled starts. Learn more at monkmate.pro. β–  Pricing Every feature in the iPhone app is free. If you'd like to support MonkMate, you can buy MonkMate Pro in the app (monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase), and it applies to your account on both Mac and iPhone. Subscriptions renew automatically and are charged to your Apple ID unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
