Willpower isn't enough. Firm mode takes the choice away: once your time's up, that app stays locked until midnight. A PIN won't open it and you can't edit the rule; your one way out is the weekly Emergency Pass. No more 'just five more minutes,' so you can live the life you actually want. FIRM MODE: LIMITS THAT STAY PUT Some limits are easy to dismiss. Firm mode is built so yours aren't. Once a rule's time runs out, that rule is locked until midnight, and you can't switch back to Gentle until midnight. Firm mode is part of Premium. GENTLE MODE: FREE Prefer a softer nudge? Gentle mode blocks your apps when time is up, and you can change the rule if you really need to. Add a PIN so changing it takes a deliberate step. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Block distracting apps • Block websites you waste time on • Set daily time limits per app • Set schedules for when apps are blocked • Lock the app's settings with a PIN • Emergency Pass: one a week, for when you truly need it. NO CLUTTER No gems, no streak games. Just your limits, kept. OUR GOAL We're working to make App Blocker the best screen time app on the App Store.
