IBlock is a moment of calm for your phone. Choose the apps that can wait, slide the bar down, and the noise stops. Work, read, or do what you came to do. Choose the apps you want to block. Set how long. Slide the right bar down and your session starts. Those apps stay locked until the time is up. UNINTERRUPTED There is no stop button, so a pause stays a pause. If something truly can't wait, Emergency Mode ends a session early, twice in any seven days. YOUR CHOICE OF APPS You pick exactly what gets blocked with Apple's Screen Time app picker. Everything else, like calls and messages, stays available. ROUTINE Block the same apps on the days and hours you choose, automatically. REPORTS See the focused time you completed over the last seven days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your choices and history stay on your iPhone. IBlock has no account. IBlock uses Apple's Screen Time. You'll be asked to allow it once. IBLOCK PREMIUM IBlock Premium is the full IBlock experience: the snap and focus sessions whenever you like, your Routine and your Reports. Monthly, yearly with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
