The app blocker that doesn't let you cheat. You've tried Screen Time limits. You tapped "Ignore." You've tried other blockers. You found the bypass. CoPact is different - it enforces your rules at the system level. No bypass, no "just 5 more minutes," no negotiation. BLOCK WHAT YOU CHOOSE Select apps to block, or flip it: allow only the apps you need. Your rules, your schedule, your enforcement level. TWO DIFFICULTY MODES Flexible: Cancel anytime. Unlimited breaks. For when you want a nudge. Locked: Can't cancel. Limited breaks. For when you mean it. No other blocker does this. LIMITS THAT STICK Set daily limits on specific apps. Set number of opens allowed. See the proof that you're changing - not just trying. SESSIONS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Quick sessions for right now. Scheduled sessions that repeat. Pomodoro for deep work. All with Live Activities on your Lock Screen. SEE THE TRUTH Analytics that don't sugarcoat it. Day view, week trends, app-by-app breakdown. Classify your apps and see where your time actually goes. Try CoPact free for 7 days. One subscription unlocks everything - Locked mode, unlimited limits, scheduled sessions, and full analytics. No tiers, no feature caps. --- Privacy Policy: https://copact.app/privacy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
