Blocktape

Less scrolling. More living. Blocktape blocks the apps that eat your day - and leaves the two things you actually want: your music and your calls. We built Blocktape because every other blocker misses the point. Apps that guilt-trip you into staying off your phone don't work - you just find a way around them. Apps that quietly limit you for ten minutes don't work either - the distraction is always one tap away. Blocktape works differently: you choose what to block once, and for as long as your session runs, those apps are simply gone. No willpower required, because there's nothing to resist. How it works Choose your distractions. Pick everything but your music apps - Spotify or Apple Music - and Blocktape keeps them off for the length of your session. Press play. One tap starts a session, styled like dropping a cassette into an old tape deck. Your chosen apps disappear. Do your thing. Walk. Run. Dance. Chat with friends. And listen to great music! Just be somewhere without your phone pulling at you. Track your steps while a session runs, if that's part of your thing. See what you made. Stats show you: how long you were offline, how many steps you took, how much time you're getting back. Why it feels different Blocktape isn't dressed up as a productivity tool. It's built like a time machine - cassette-deck look-and-feel, a UI that feels like the 80s, not like a settings screen. Blocking your phone should feel like a ritual you want to repeat, not a rule you're trying to keep. What's inside - Choose-your-own block list: pick exactly which apps go quiet during a session. We recommend blocking everything but your music app. - Music and calls always stay reachable - Spotify, Apple Music, and your phone, untouched. - One-tap sessions from the app or your Home Screen and Lock Screen widget. - Retro session screen with tape-reel animation and step tracking while you're offline. - Your Rewind: a simple stats dashboard - time saved, screen time trends, daily phone pick-ups - so you can actually see the difference. - A cassette-styled look and feel, start to finish. Who it's for Time travellers and good music lovers. Those who've tried a screen-time app before and found it too easy to ignore, or too naggy to enjoy. Anyone who wants to be free from endless notifications and distractions. Subscription details Blocktape offers options: - Weekly: $3.99 - Monthly: $7.99 - Yearly: $49.99 (a 3-day free trial, followed by an auto-renewing subscription) Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.
