Block Instagram, TikTok, Reddit - one tap and they're gone. Shift is the app blocker that doesn't negotiate. Set focus sessions that stick, track your screen time, and take your attention back from the algorithm. Free to download. Your phone was built to keep you hooked. Shift is how you take it back. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps stealing your time - Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, anything. Start a Shift. The apps lock instantly. Stay locked. No "ignore limit" button. No five-minute snooze. No negotiating with yourself. MAKE IT PHYSICALLY UNBREAKABLE The app works on its own. But if you want zero chance of caving, add the Shift Puck or NFC Card โ€” a physical device that lives off your phone. Tap it to lock. Now the off switch isn't on your phone at all. When the device isn't near you, neither is the temptation. This isn't a productivity hack. It's a commitment device โ€” the kind that works because it doesn't rely on willpower you've already spent. WHAT YOU GET, FREE Block any app, any time - one tap Daily streaks and screen-time analytics Win Cards to share your progress FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DONE Done doomscrolling. Done losing hours. Done feeling owned by a feed. Shift is for people who choose clarity over noise, presence over scrolling, real life over the algorithm. You own your phone. Not the other way around.

Doomed is the screen time app that actually shames you off the apps eating your life. Pick your worst offenders (TikTok, Instagram, Reels, X, whatever), set a daily limit, and Doomed arms Apple's blocking engine. Burn through your limit and a shield slams down over the app. Calm the first time. Meaner the fifth. "GO TO BED" at 1am. How it works: - Choose the apps and sites to gate with Apple's Screen Time picker - Set a daily limit and how hard the gate fights back - Hit the wall and face a challenge before you can keep scrolling - Beat the gate and Doomed roasts you for the time you just torched - Track your streak and daily gate activity - Report any roast you don't like, right in the app Doomed Pro is a required auto-renewable subscription to unlock the app. New subscribers get 50% off: - Doomed Pro Monthly: $3.99/month for the first 3 months, then $7.99/month - Doomed Pro Annual: $24.99 for the first year, then $49.99/year Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Each subscription automatically renews for the same period and price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Doomed is a self-control aid, not medical or mental-health advice. Blocking depends on Screen Time access and can be turned off in iOS Settings. Roasts are intentionally savage but contain no profanity, sexual, or violent content (server-moderated); rated 13+.
