Take control of screen time and build better digital habits with a powerful and intuitive app blocker. Block distracting apps using Apple’s Screen Time API. Select the apps to limit—once blocked, they stay inaccessible unless unlocked through a mindful process. When unlocking an app, set a custom usage time. After that time ends, the app is automatically re-blocked to help maintain focus and reduce distractions. Each unlocked session contributes to a ranking system that tracks how much time is spent on selected apps. At the end of the day, rankings adjust based on usage—creating a light, gamified incentive to stick to screen time goals. Track progress through a detailed analytics view, showing both individual app usage and a total overview of all selected apps. Gain insight into habits and make more informed decisions about daily screen time. Key Features: • Block apps via Apple’s Screen Time API • Mindful unlocking process • Set custom usage time per session • Automatic re-blocking after time expires • Daily ranking system based on usage • App-specific and overall usage analytics • Supports focus, habit-building, and digital wellness Ideal for anyone seeking to improve productivity, reduce distractions, and take back control of daily screen time.
