AppsBlocker helps you break the cycle of compulsive app opening—the automatic, mindless taps that often lead to hours lost on social media and entertainment apps. How It Works - Set a delay (5 seconds – 2 minutes) for apps you open compulsively - Unlock them for a 10-minute session, with the option to extend if needed - Apps block again automatically once the session ends or if you don’t unlock within 2 minutes Why AppsBlocker is Different - Smart session management: apps re-block every 10 minutes by default - Compulsive opening prevention: adds friction to unconscious taps - Flexible extensions: add more time only when you need it - Automatic re-blocking: no need to reset—AppsBlocker handles it for you - Native iOS integration: built on Apple’s Screen Time for reliability Perfect For Stopping - Mindless TikTok scrolling - Compulsive Instagram checks - Automatic social media opening - Background app switching habits - Endless scrolling sessions Features - Customizable delay timers (from 5 seconds up to 2 minutes) - One-tap session extensions from the shield interface - Clean, distraction-free design - All data stays on your device - No subscriptions or accounts required - Works with any app or app category

Whilst is a personal archive for the drawings your children make whilst they are little. * Take a picture of the artwork. It's cropped to the exact boundaries. * Each drawing is filed against the child who made it, on the day it was made. * Save any piece back to your camera roll when you want to share it. Send it to a grandparent, print it, frame it. * Easily compare drawings of the same subject over time to be in awe of the progress your kids are making * Synced to iCloud so you can always take it with you. Simple. Minimalist. Designed to get out of your way. Built by a dad with too many drawings to keep, but not the heart to throw any away. Each drawing of the family, of Elsa and Anna, of rainbows and unicorns, of houses, ... is a memory that should be preserved. The data is yours. We don't see it. We don't sell it. We don't have analytics. There is no server. No account required. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. Pay once, keep forever. Think of it like a lifetime ticket to your child's artwork. The art, whilst they were little. Kept. — A dad who didn't want to lose precious memories.
