Use them for a few minutes, then they lock and you focus for a while. Run a different timer for each app BLOCK NOW Lock your apps for a set amount of time or until a time you pick. Need a minute? Turn on Let me hop back on and choose how often, how long you can stay on and how long you have to wait LEAVE YOUR APPS AT THE DOOR Pick a place like the library, the gym or your dorm, and Hop Off blocks your apps while you're there.

Tap it again to get them back. ALWAYS IN VIEW See your break countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Get your time back.
