App Blocker & Focus
Read full descriptionHide full description
A timer you can dismiss is not a blocker. Reclaim puts someone in front of every way back in. Pick the apps that eat your evenings, pick when they should be held, and pick who stands in front of them. When you reach for TikTok at 23:00, one of three coaches is standing there โ and which one you chose decides what happens next. VALE REFUSES No unlock button, and he does not pretend there is one. One emergency pass a week, and that is the whole negotiation. NOVA CHARGES Squats or push-ups, counted by the camera on your phone. The window opens on the last rep. No camera? A timer stands in for it. REID LISTENS An AI coach you can actually talk to. Say why you need in, and he decides: fifteen minutes, then ten, then five, then nothing until tomorrow. He remembers the reasons you have already used. FOUR WAYS TO HOLD AN APP โข Schedule โ blocked during the hours you choose โข Daily limit โ open, but only so many minutes a day โข Session โ blocked for a stretch, from the moment you tap โข Opens limit โ open, but only so many times a day NUMBERS YOU CAN CHECK Minutes reclaimed come from sessions the app actually ran. Screen time comes from iOS itself, drawn by Apple's own report. No points, no invented scores, no chart bent to look encouraging. SOMETHING TO DO INSTEAD The urge lasts a few minutes. Reclaim has a daily five-question quiz and a handful of small games for exactly that long, so the reach for the phone ends somewhere other than the feed. A SKY THAT FILLS UP Every night you leave a guarded list alone lights a star. Seven stars close a constellation. It is the one number that only goes up if you actually do the thing. WHAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Your lists, your streak and your screen time never leave it. There is no account to make and no password to lose. iCloud carries your own data between your own devices, and we never see it. What Reid is told is sent to our server and forwarded to the model โ never your name, never your screen time, never your list of apps. Reclaim Pro unlocks everything: all three coaches, every kind of block, the games and the sky. Annual comes with a 3-day free trial. Cancel any time in Settings.
