Features

**Cran closes the apps that eat your time. And it doesn't reopen them just because you insist.** Pick the apps, say when they should close: a time window, or a daily usage limit. Cran handles the rest, without you opening anything. **The block holds** Rules apply on their own, including after a restart or an iOS update. Nothing to refresh by hand. **Reopening costs fifteen minutes** No “ignore” button, no “five more minutes”, no end time you can quietly move. Unlocking a rule starts a delay you cannot shorten. That's what separates a decision from an impulse — and it's the whole difference with a block you switch off in two taps. **You are never trapped** Deleting Cran immediately frees every app. “Free everything” is two taps away inside the app. Cran constrains you; it never locks you in. **One purchase, not a subscription** Seven days of the full app, then $14.99 once. Cran costs nothing to run: everything happens on your iPhone, with no account, no server and no data to resell. Nothing would justify billing you every year. **What Cran cannot know** iOS only hands it anonymous tokens: Cran has no idea which apps you block. It cannot read them, and cannot send them anywhere. No data leaves the device. **Before you install** - An adult can always revoke Screen Time access in iOS Settings. No app, including this one, can prevent that — it's an iOS limit, and you deserve to read it here rather than discover it after paying. - Website blocking works in Safari. Other browsers are blocked as apps.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Block Apps at none against Floating Clock's shown. Floating Clock's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
