Unlock Your Focus with Screen Time Control Distractions are everywhere - social media, games, endless browsing. Screen Time Control helps you set healthy boundaries, cut down on wasted time, and put your attention back where it matters. Whether you’re powering through work, enjoying time at home, or relaxing on vacation, this app is designed to give you full control over when and how you use your phone. With an intuitive design and flexible options, Screen Time Control is more than just a blocker - it’s your personal assistant for productivity, balance, and digital well-being. Key Features: - One-Tap Blocking Quickly block or unblock selected apps at any time. A single tap gives you the power to silence distractions and instantly regain control over your focus. - Daily Time Limits Set custom time allowances for apps in minutes or hours. Once you’ve reached your limit, the app will stay locked until the next day. Perfect for controlling your time on social media, games, or any app that tends to consume more than you’d like. - Advanced Scheduling Create personalized restrictions that fit your lifestyle. Choose which apps to block during work hours, evenings, or weekends, and free yourself from constant interruptions when you need downtime. - Website Blocking (Safari Extension) Stay on track while browsing the web. Use the built-in Safari extension to block distracting sites with a single switch. Choose from ready-made categories like Social Media, Gaming, or Politics—or add your own list for a fully customized experience. - Location-Based Controls (Zones) Go beyond simple app limits with smart, geo-based blocking: - Restrict Zones: Define an area on the map (radius 200–800m) where certain apps will be blocked or hidden the moment you enter. - Safe Zones: Allow access to chosen apps only in specific areas. Outside of your safe zone, those apps remain unavailable. Why Screen Time Control Stands Out - Regain focus and protect your productivity with powerful app and site restrictions. - Adjust rules to your personal schedule, habits, and needs. - Maintain a healthy balance between work, rest, and family. - Keep kids safe by hiding sensitive apps or restricting games when handing over your device. - Reduce digital clutter and stop distractions before they happen. - With Screen Time Control, you decide when to engage and when to disconnect. Hide distractions, unlock focus, and take control of your time today. Ultimate Access: Week Upgrade. Enjoy a 3-day trial with any subscription.

Waboom programma i messaggi che devi mandare su WhatsApp e li fa partire all'ora giusta, anche quando l'app e' chiusa e il telefono e' in tasca. SCRIVI ADESSO, SCEGLI TU QUANDO • Scegli il destinatario dalle chat recenti, anche di gruppo, oppure dalla rubrica dell'iPhone • Scrivi il messaggio e allega una foto, un video, un documento o un file audio • Fissa data e ora al minuto, nel fuso che vedi scritto sotto la data • Segui l'esito in Programmati: in programma, inviato, da verificare Una programmazione confermata continua sul server: non serve tenere l'app aperta, ne' il telefono acceso. I TESTI CHE RIPETI, GIA' PRONTI Salva i messaggi ricorrenti come template, con le variabili da compilare al momento — nome, giorno, ora — e riusali in due tocchi. I template restano sull'organizzazione, quindi valgono per tutte le tue istanze. PIU' ACCOUNT, UNA SOLA APP Collega piu' istanze Waboom e passa dall'una all'altra dal selettore in alto. Il nome dell'istanza attiva resta sempre in vista, cosi' sai da quale account stai programmando prima di premere invio. COME FUNZIONA Waboom per iPhone e' il client della tua istanza del gateway Waboom. L'istanza si collega al tuo account WhatsApp come dispositivo aggiuntivo, inquadrando un codice QR o digitando un codice, la stessa procedura che usi per WhatsApp Web. Serve quindi un'istanza Waboom attiva: puoi usare il servizio ospitato su waboom.it oppure ospitarla tu. Senza istanza collegata l'app non ha niente da programmare. PRIVACY La rubrica resta sul tuo iPhone. Al server arrivano soltanto il nome e il numero del destinatario che hai scelto, il testo del messaggio, gli allegati che alleghi e i dati della programmazione. I token delle istanze e la sessione dell'account sono custoditi nel Portachiavi. I file allegati alle programmazioni attive vengono conservati finche' servono; dopo la conclusione restano sette giorni, poi vengono cancellati. Waboom e' un prodotto indipendente. Non e' affiliato, sponsorizzato o approvato da WhatsApp LLC o da Meta Platforms, Inc. WhatsApp e' un marchio registrato dei rispettivi titolari.
