OFFTIME – THE APP AGAINST APPS Block distracting apps – and reclaim your time. Offtime is the app against apps – helping you enjoy more of real life. With a simple scan, you block digital distractions and focus on what truly matters. The special part: the unlock code is physically removed – you have to move to disable the block. That creates distance, clarity, and focus. HOW IT WORKS * Select distracting apps or categories * Activate the block via QR code or NFC tag * Place the code out of reach – for example, in the hallway or on a shelf * Apps remain blocked until you scan the code again or the timer expires FEATURES - APP BLOCKING WITH PHYSICAL BARRIER You must actively move to disable the block – this helps prevent impulsive unlocking - QR CODE OR NFC ACTIVATION Start your focus session by scanning a physical trigger - STOPWATCH AND TIMER MODE Use the built-in stopwatch or set a timer for how long you want to block - CUSTOM APP OR CATEGORY SELECTION Block only the apps or categories that distract you. Keep the tools you need. - BLOCKING PROFILES Create templates for different situations: such as work, studying, or bedtime - SCHEDULED BLOCK TIMES Set automatic block times that repeat daily or weekly - INSIGHTS Get insights on how much time offtime has saved you, with our weekly and monthly overview - MINIMALISTIC DARK DESIGN Focus on function, not distraction – ideal for digital minimalism - FULLY OFFLINE AND LOCAL No cloud, no tracking, no data sharing WHY OFFTIME? Offtime takes a different approach. Instead of a simple software-based app blocker, it adds a physical layer. You place your unlock key – like a printed QR code or NFC tag – deliberately out of reach. This creates a real-world hurdle: you must actively choose and physically move to lift the block. This simple idea strengthens your self-control and makes digital discipline effortless. UNLOCK THE PRO VERSION * Unlimited number of blocking profiles * Up to 20 active schedules simultaneously * No limits on scheduled block times * Monthly insights Privacy Policy: https://useofftime.com/privacy.php?section=app Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Jomo at 2.4K against offtime's 1. Jomo also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). offtime's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Jomo sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and offtime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
offtime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jomo has 2.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Jomo ships an update every 2 weeks, offtime every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
