Vault vs ZoneBlock

Vault was created because we believe focus should happen automatically. We noticed that willpower-based app blockers only work when you remember to use them—but what if your phone could simply know when it's time to focus? That's why we built an app that ties your digital habits to your real-world locations. Vault is a location-powered productivity app that automatically blocks distracting apps and websites when you enter specific zones you define. Set up a vault at the gym, and social media disappears the moment you walk in. Create one for your office, and games vanish during work hours. Step outside, and everything returns—no buttons to press, no timers to set. Simply draw a zone on the map and choose what to block. Your phone handles the rest. Whether you're trying to stay present at the dinner table, focused at the library, or undistracted at the gym, Vault creates invisible boundaries that keep you on track. The Vault app allows you to: - Create custom-shaped focus zones anywhere on the map (circles or rectangles) - Automatically block specific apps, entire categories, or websites when you enter a zone - Prevent app deletion while inside a vault—so you can't cheat your way out - Layer multiple overlapping vaults with combined restrictions - Drag and resize zones in real-time with visual feedback - Manage and edit your vaults from an easy-to-use map dashboard Built with your privacy in mind: Your vault locations and blocked apps are stored locally on your device—never sent to our servers. Vault uses Apple's official Screen Time API for secure, system-level blocking.
