Bloquit
Read full descriptionHide full description
Put your distractions behind a physical barrier. Bloquit is the app blocker that uses a real NFC tag to keep you away from distracting apps. Place the tag in another room, leave it at home, or hide it in your bag — and until you physically walk to it and tap your phone, you stay focused. This isn't just another timer or willpower test. The physical friction is the feature. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that distract you most 2. Confirm your block — Bloquit locks them away 3. To unblock, walk to your Bloquit tag and tap your phone 4. Distance becomes your defence. KEY FEATURES • App & category blocking — block individual apps or entire categories at once • Multiple profiles — create separate sets for work, study, sleep and more • Flexible durations — 15 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, custom, or until you choose to unblock • Screen Time integration — built on Apple's native Screen Time • While blocked, app deletion is disabled — no workarounds • Emergency unblock — a one-time escape if you ever lose your tag • Privacy-first — your data is never tracked or stored THE BLOQUIT TAG CHANGES EVERYTHING. Anyone can dismiss a pop-up. But walking across the house to tap a tag? That takes real intention — and that pause is often all you need. Order your tag at bloquit.com, or tap the link inside the app. Download Bloquit and take back your focus.

Cortex helps you take back control of your screen time with one simple gesture: a tap of an NFC card, a QR code scan, or a manual start. No account. No tracking. No cloud. Everything stays on your iPhone. — FOCUS WHEN YOU DECIDE — Create a mode for each moment of your day: work, study, meals, sleep, family time. Pick which apps to block. Pick how the session starts and ends. — STRATEGIES YOU PICK — • Manual: start and stop from inside the app • NFC card: tap your Cortex card to start or stop • QR code: scan a QR to open or close a session • Time range: automatic focus between two times (e.g., 10pm → 7am) • Timer: fixed duration with optional NFC early unlock • Mix: combine strategies (NFC + manual, QR + timer…) — INSTANT BLOCKING — Cortex uses iOS Family Controls (Screen Time API) to block the apps and websites you choose, the moment your session starts. Open a blocked app, and you'll see a custom Cortex shield instead. — DYNAMIC ISLAND TIMER — Your session timer shows live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. — BREAKS AND EMERGENCIES — Need a 5 to 15 minute breather? Pause mode lets you through temporarily, then re-blocks automatically. Emergency unlock gives you 3 uses per rolling 4-week window. — PARENTAL PIN — PIN stored only in iOS encrypted Keychain. No backup on our servers. — PHYSICAL NFC CARD — The Cortex card (sold separately on liberetoncortex.com) turns your focus ritual into a tangible gesture. — TOTAL PRIVACY — Zero data sent. Zero analytics. Zero tracking. Zero cookies. All local. — OPEN SOURCE — Cortex is a French adaptation of the open source Foqos project (MIT license, © Awake Labs LLC). — SUPPORT — hello@liberetoncortex.com liberetoncortex.com
