TimeOut vs Total Focus

TIMEOUT is the app blocker with no subscription, no account, and no mercy. Pick the apps that eat your day. Set a window. They're gone — shielded by iOS Screen Time until the window ends. Even if you never open TimeOut again, your blocks fire on schedule. BLOCKS • Daily schedules: 9–5 focus, overnight sleep, weekend detox — anything • Per-day control: weekdays, weekends, or any combination • Overnight windows that cross midnight just work • Block individual apps or whole categories ALLOWED TIME Give yourself 15 minutes of scrolling inside a block. When the minutes are used up, the shield slams shut for the rest of the window. Discipline, with a pressure valve. EXIT FRICTION — you choose how hard it is to quit • SIMPLE — pause anytime • REFLECT — 30 seconds of waiting before you can bail • DEEP — a 2 minute wait plus a password. For the serious. YOUR SHIELD, YOUR WORDS Write the message your blocked apps throw back at you when you cave. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS See your blocking status at a glance without opening the app. NO NONSENSE No account. No ads. No subscription. No tracking. Blocking runs entirely on-device through Apple's Screen Time framework — nothing ever leaves your phone. Time out. Go do something real.

Break distractions on purpose. Total Focus helps you reduce screen time by adding real world friction between you and your most distracting apps. Instead of relying on willpower alone, you decide how and when apps can be unlocked. Lock apps manually, on a schedule, or during focus sessions, and unlock them only using actions you control. LOCK DISTRACTING APPS Choose which apps you want to block. Social media, games, or anything pulling your attention away. Start a focus session or set automatic schedules that enforce your rules. UNLOCK APPS WITH PHYSICAL ACTIONS To regain access, require an intentional action: Tap an NFC tag Scan a QR code Scan a barcode Or unlock manually, if you allow it This turns mindless scrolling into a conscious choice. SCHEDULE FOCUS AUTOMATICALLY Create recurring schedules so app blocking happens automatically during work hours, mornings, evenings, or whenever you need uninterrupted time. PREVENT IMPULSE APP DELETION (OPTIONAL) You can enable an option that prevents deleting the app helping you stay committed instead of bypassing your own rules. This setting is always optional and fully controlled by you. YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CONTROL No forced lock ins No accounts required to get started Total Focus is designed to help you build healthier phone habits, not punish you. DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT RESULTS Whether you are: Trying to focus at work Reducing social media usage Studying without distractions Building better daily habits Total Focus helps you follow through. PRIVACY Your data stays on your device. We do not track what you do outside the app or sell your data. Take control of your attention, one intentional action at a time.
