Tempozi locks distracting apps and websites and opens them only when you decide. Fewer mindless scrolls, more time for what matters. Most screen time apps let you use everything until a limit runs out. Tempozi works the other way: the apps you choose stay locked by default, and you set the times when they open. HOW IT WORKS • Choose what to lock: any apps, websites or whole categories. • Add Time Windows: open access at set times, like lunch or evenings, with an optional usage limit. • Need something right now? Take a short Pause, and apps lock again on their own. • Want to focus? Start a Focus session and lock apps for 15 minutes to 2 hours. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES The dashboard shows your screen time by app, category and website, for today and the last 7 days. All data is processed on your device and never leaves it. MAKE IT YOURS WITH TEMPOZI PRO • Custom shield: your own message, motivating quotes and icon on every locked app. • Pause settings: choose how long a Pause lasts, how many you get and how fast they recharge. • Vacation mode: turn off blocking for holidays and rest days without touching your schedule. • Support an independent developer. Tempozi is free to use. Tempozi Pro is an optional subscription. Built on Apple's Screen Time. Tempozi never sees your browsing or app content.
