ivBlock vs ScreenPace

ivBlock is a powerful, flexible productivity tool that helps you stay focused by blocking distracting websites and apps—right when you need it. Designed for students, professionals, creators, and anyone who wants to minimize online distractions, ivBlock gives you full control over when and how certain sites can be accessed. Whether you want to block social media during work hours, limit entertainment sites to 10 minutes per hour, or prevent yourself from falling into late-night browsing loops — ivBlock makes it simple. ivBlock is a clone of LeechBlock NG for Safari. Stay Focused. Stay Productive. Create up to 30 customizable block sets, each with its own rules, schedules, and exceptions. ivBlock lets you: • Block websites on a schedule (e.g., weekdays 9am–5pm) • Limit daily or hourly usage (e.g., max 10 minutes every hour) • Combine schedules + limits (e.g., allow 10 minutes per hour only during work hours)

ScreenPace helps you create a healthier rhythm with your iPhone—one hour at a time. Set small, intentional allowances for distracting apps and let ScreenPace protect the rest of your hour. When an app reaches its limit, it is shielded until the next hourly reset. You get a clear boundary without turning one slip into a lost afternoon. Most screen time blockers enforce strict, 24-hour daily bans. But when you burn your 30-minute daily limit during morning coffee, you're either locked out for the rest of the day or forced to disable your limits entirely. ScreenPace solves this by breaking your screen time into manageable hourly buffers. Enjoy short, intentional breaks throughout the day without letting a quick check turn into an lost afternoon. WHY SCREENPACE WORKS BETTER • HOURLY ALLOWANCES THAT RESET Set realistic time limits (e.g., 5 minutes per hour) for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or news apps. Your allowance automatically resets at the top of every hour, keeping you paced and present. • CUSTOM FOCUS HOURS & SCHEDULES Need uninterrupted productivity? Schedule Focus Hours for work, studying, or bedtime. ScreenPace automatically tightens allowances or completely shields apps during your core productive windows. • INTENTIONAL FRICTION OVERRIDES Emergency check needed before the top of the hour? Instead of a instant bypass button that breaks your habit, ScreenPace introduces an intentional reflection flow to prevent impulse taps. • 100% PRIVATE & ON-DEVICE Your data, screen habits, and app lists never leave your iPhone. Built natively using Apple Screen Time frameworks (FamilyControls)—zero accounts, no tracking, and 100% offline privacy. • NO SUBSCRIPTIONS — BUY ONCE, OWN FOREVER Tired of paying $10/month just to lock your own apps? ScreenPace offers a free 7-day trial and a single lifetime unlock. One payment, no recurring fees ever. Ideal for students, remote workers, creators, and anyone ready to beat doomscrolling with sustainable pacing.
