FlowBuddy vs ShieldFlow

Stop mindless scrolling and open apps more intentionally. FlowBuddy helps you stay focused by blocking distracting apps and websites, adding a small pause before you access them. Set which apps and web domains to block, choose how access works, and build healthier phone habits over time. FlowBuddy uses Screen Time-based shielding for apps and websites, supports allowed schedules, tracks activity, and can require a breathing exercise before access is restored. Key Features: - Block distracting apps and websites - Unlock with a breathing exercise - Set allowed schedules - Track your app access habits - Reduce impulsive app and web browsing - Build more mindful screen time FlowBuddy is designed to make app opening feel intentional instead of automatic.
