App Blocker & Focus Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Put your phone on lockdown and get real work done. FocusLock is a deep work timer with a built-in app blocker: start a focus session and iOS Screen Time shields the distracting apps you picked until your time is up. Most timers just count minutes while your worst app stays one tap away. FocusLock pairs a precise wall-clock timer with Apple's Family Controls, so the apps that break your focus are actually shielded during the session — chosen privately by you in Apple's own picker, never seen by us. WHAT YOU GET • Start a 15, 25, 45, 60 or 90 minute session and the apps you chose go behind a shield until it ends • A wall-clock timer that survives backgrounding and relaunch — the minutes you log are minutes that really passed • Zen Mode: a quiet full-screen clock that keeps the display awake, with nothing else on screen • A daily goal with current and best streaks — hit today's minutes and the chain stays alive • Every session saved to a private on-device log: categories, notes, search, and a seven-day chart across Deep work, Study, Creative and Admin PERFECT FOR • Students who need study blocks that social apps cannot interrupt • Remote workers defending deep work hours from their own phone • Writers, coders and creators tracking honest maker time • Anyone breaking a phone habit one shielded session at a time WHY NOT JUST USE iOS SCREEN TIME LIMITS? System limits are easy to snooze and hard to aim at a single work block. FocusLock uses the same system power but ties it to a session with a start, an end, a goal and a log — so you see exactly how many focused minutes you actually earned. If you deny or revoke the Screen Time permission, the timer still works and the app tells you plainly that shielding is off. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Sessions, goals, streaks and settings stay on this device. App selections are opaque Apple tokens — FocusLock never learns which apps or websites you chose. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. FULL ACCESS FocusLock requires a Full Access purchase: an auto-renewing Weekly or Yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime unlock. Every plan includes the session timer, app shielding, Zen Mode, the complete session archive, streaks and all-time totals. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. Start one session tonight: pick 25 minutes, shield your worst app, and watch the streak begin.
