The clock is Ticking: it's time to focus. Willpower is overrated. Routines work better. Ticking lets you block distracting apps on a schedule: Pick the hours, pick the days, and let the rules do the hard work for you. Need a break? Fine. But every pause makes the next one take longer. First it's 5 seconds. Then 10. Then 30. By the fifth attempt you're staring at a timer wondering if you really need to check social media again. Spoiler: you don't. The app itself stays out of your way. Minimal, native, no visual clutter. Pick a color, pick an icon, and get back to whatever actually matters. Features: - Block apps for specific hours and days - Progressive friction on breaks (they get harder to take) - Clean, native iOS design Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ticking.co/privacy-policy/
