Wasted vs Flocus

Every other screen time app blocks you. Wasted just makes you aware. You don't need another wall between you and your phone — you've tapped "Ignore" on Screen Time limits a hundred times. Wasted is different. It's a nudger, not a blocker. Pick the apps you waste time on (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X…), set a reminder interval, and the moment you go over, Wasted calls you out — with a personality you actually feel. MEET YOUR 5 ARCHETYPES Choose who nudges you. Each one delivers the same wake-up call in a completely different voice: • Minimalist — clean, stoic, no drama. Just the facts. • Satirist — sarcastic and funny. The friend who roasts you with love. • Philosopher — reflective and thought-provoking. Makes you actually think. • Moralist — serious and guilt-driven. No sugar-coating. • Provocateur — aggressive and confrontational. For when you need a slap, not a tap. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that eat your time. 2. Set how long is "too long." 3. Keep scrolling — Wasted lets you. But the second you cross the line, your archetype fires a notification. Still scrolling? It nudges again, every interval, until you stop. No blocking. No friction wall. No forcing. Just awareness, sharp enough to break the trance. 100% PRIVATE — BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up.

So much time on our phones disappears without us even noticing. A quick check turns into scrolling, distraction, and mental noise that follows us through the day. Flocus is designed to help you take that time back with more intention and healthier boundaries. Whether you want to focus deeply, protect your evenings, study without distractions, or simply stop opening the same apps on autopilot, Flocus helps you build healthier habits around the digital routines that drain your attention. With Flocus, you can start a Focus Session anytime you need to be present, set up Recurring Sessions that run automatically on the days and times you choose, or use Friction to make impulsive app opens less automatic. You can also create reusable groups of apps and websites for different parts of your life, so your routines feel easier to maintain. Flocus is flexible enough for real life. Some days you may want stronger protection and a fully blocked session. Other days, a lighter touch is enough. Timed breaks, allow lists, and adjustable focus controls help you find a rhythm that supports your day. Use Flocus to: • reduce mindless scrolling • protect work, study, sleep, and personal time • block distracting apps and websites • allow only selected apps and websites during a session • build routines that repeat automatically • track your progress with Insights Flocus Plus unlocks stronger protection and more advanced focus controls for people who want a stricter setup and more support staying on track. Flocus uses Apple’s Screen Time framework to power blocking features. Screen Time access is required for sessions and restrictions to work.
