Shared Phone Limits vs ScreenTimeBlocker

A new kind of screen-time app — quit phone addiction together with friends! Digital detox is hard to stick with alone. With friends, it sticks. Can't put your phone down? Hours disappear into social media. You sat down to study, opened one video — and suddenly it's midnight. Sound familiar? Most of us slip into phone addiction without ever noticing. CoLock was built to break that cycle. ■ What makes CoLock different CoLock is a screen-time control app that blocks distracting apps — but it's not just another app timer. What sets it apart is the friend system and the habit-building loop. Connect with friends and family and restrict your phones together. Friends get notified when you start or finish a session, and you can see who's locked in right now — so even if you've never managed to stick with it alone, you won't be alone this time. Cheer each other on, climb the leaderboards, and watch focus become a habit. Set shared rules like "phones locked during study hours" or "no screens after 10 p.m." Quitting is hard alone — together, it actually lasts. ■ Key features App blocking: Start a timer to block selected apps (or all of them). Sessions from 15 to 300 minutes. Restriction schedules: Pick days and times, and restrictions start and end automatically — even with the app closed. Strict Mode (Pro): No giving up, no pausing until time is up. Tags: Label sessions (work, study, reading…) and track your focus by activity. Live Activity & widgets (Pro): See the time remaining on your Lock Screen and Home Screen. Detailed stats: 7-day and monthly charts, focus by tag, success rate, and streaks. Compare charts with friends. Badges & titles: Earn badges for streaks, total hours, and completed sessions. Friend features: Status notifications, weekly / all-time / nationwide leaderboards, cheer stamps, and friend profiles. Messages (Pro): Attach a short note to your session-start notification. ■ CoLock is for you if… You can't stay off your phone on your own Your phone keeps you from studying or working You want to cut down on social media and video apps You've tried other screen-time apps and dropped them You're ready to start a digital detox If you want your time back, CoLock is your new accountability partner. ■ Habits stick when you quit together Most people abandon screen-time apps for one simple reason: it's lonely. Willpower runs out fast when no one's watching. But when a friend is in it with you, motivation comes naturally. CoLock isn't about "I should quit" — it's about "let's quit together." Your effort reaches your friends, and theirs reaches you. Cheers, leaderboards, and badges keep you going until the habit takes over. ■ Take your time back Turn the hours your phone steals into hours that are yours. Read. Work out. Talk to your family. Escaping phone addiction isn't a solo mission — it's a team effort. ■ About CoLock Pro The core features are free: app blocking, one restriction schedule, stats, friends, leaderboards, and badges.

Take your time back. ScreenTimeBlocker is a focus tool for stopping the apps you can't help opening — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, and more. Built on Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls, it shields only the apps you choose, the moment you hit your daily limit or step into a quiet hour. --- ■ What it does ▶ Per-app daily limits Set fine-grained time caps per app — TikTok 30 min, YouTube 60 min, X 30 min — independently from each other. ▶ Category-wide limits Limit entire categories like "Social" or "Games" in one tap. Newly installed apps in that category are covered automatically. ▶ Block websites too Apply the same time limits to specific web domains opened in Safari and other browsers. ▶ Automatic shield at the limit When the cap is reached, the target app becomes unopenable and a dedicated shield screen appears. It comes back tomorrow. ▶ Schedule-based auto-block Force a block during specific hours — Bedtime (22:00 – 07:00 next day), School Hours (weekdays 08:00 – 15:00), Mealtime, and more. One-tap presets are included, and overnight ranges that cross midnight are supported. ▶ Parental passcode Set a 4-digit PIN so kids can't quietly disable the limits. Three wrong attempts trigger a full shield across all monitored apps, closing off the workarounds. ▶ Edit lock While monitoring is active, settings become read-only — you can't impulsively raise a limit or remove a restriction. Scrolling and viewing the list stay free. --- ■ Privacy - Fully on-device. All settings are stored only on your iPhone. - No personal data or usage statistics are sent to our servers. - No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no tracking identifiers. - Apple's Family Controls passes apps and categories as opaque tokens, so even the developer cannot see which apps you chose. - The parental PIN is stored encrypted in the iOS Keychain. --- ■ Pricing The first week is free. Keep it if you like it. - Monthly plan - Yearly plan - Lifetime plan (one-time purchase) The monthly and yearly plans include a 7-day free trial (first time only). If you do not cancel during the trial, the plan converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period and price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal charge is billed to the Apple ID payment method within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on the iPhone. Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased. --- ■ Who it's for - People who want to stop late-night short-video binges - Parents who want kids' social-app time governed by rules, not arguments - Anyone who needs distractions silenced during work or study hours - Users who find iOS's built-in Screen Time not quite enough --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://uuuu.to/screenblocker-privacy-policy/
