[Noloop] App is an application that helps you break free from algorithmic and become the master of your time. It assists you in returning to a slow-paced life and rediscovering inner peace and strength. This is a software full of vitality, with green as its main color tone. It is a composite software integrating simple page design and multiple practical functions: • Application Control:Freely set the usage duration of each app to be the master of your time. • Sleep Mode:After enabling, only specified apps remain available, while others are blocked, allowing you to sleep soundly. • Time Management:Independently control the total daily app usage time, and the system will automatically restrict app usage when the limit is reached. • Parental Control:Restrict app downloads, deletions, and in-app purchases to safeguard children's mobile phone use. • Anti-Gambling Consumption:When enabled, it effectively blocks virtual consumption behaviors such as game recharges and other "氪金" (gambling-like spending) activities. • To-Do List:Plan daily tasks and to-do items independently, keeping life organized. • Focus Mode:Choose focus duration and meditation music to help you quickly enter a state of flow and enhance concentration. • Return to Peace:Press this switch, and the world becomes quiet. This app has no annoying pop-ups or embedded advertisements. We hope to bring real help to users through a pure experience. The slogan of "Noloop" – Return to a slow life and rediscover inner peace and strength – is exactly our original intention and pursuit. Note: "氪金" is translated as "gambling-like spending" to convey the concept of impulsive, addictive consumption similar to gambling, which is a common term in Chinese internet culture.

About

FocusLock

FocusLock helps you limit distracting apps and protect time for work, study and rest. Up to 5 hours for temporary unlocks, daily quotas, focus and break timers. Temporary unlocks use your remaining daily quota. APP RESTRICTIONS Choose apps, categories and websites, then set recurring lock hours by weekday. Rule cards show whether restrictions are active, waiting for a schedule, or need permission or app selection. Manage saved selections individually, including selections for uninstalled apps. DAILY UNLOCK QUOTA Quota rules keep selected apps locked while enabled. Use your daily quota to start a temporary unlock. Time counts down continuously after unlocking, even when you are not using those apps. End the unlock early to save remaining time. Optionally reduce the allowance each week. STRICT MODE Protect active rules from edits, deletion and disabling. Quota rules stay protected while enabled. The emergency process requires waiting and confirmation, then disables the rule and its strict mode. You must manually turn them on again. FOCUS TIMER Choose a focus and break duration, with optional sound and wallpaper. Link a rule to restrict its selected apps during focus. Return to the app while the countdown continues. Start focus from widgets, Control Center, Siri, Shortcuts or Spotlight. Live Activities and, on supported iOS versions, AlarmKit help you follow the countdown. PROGRESS AND PRIVACY Review focus time, completed sessions, automatic lock events, streaks and achievements. Automatic lock events are schedule executions, not attempts to open blocked apps. Apple's Screen Time report shows on-device activity data. App selections stay on each device. Rule metadata and focus history can sync through your private iCloud account. No third-party analytics, ads or tracking. Supports 50 languages, light and dark themes, and iPad layouts. App restrictions require Screen Time authorization. System features vary by iOS version and device.
