RoutineGate vs LockTimer

RoutineGate helps you create focused time using Screen Time by limiting selected apps, categories, and websites. If you keep opening things “just for a second,” set simple time rules and stay on track. ■ What you can do • Choose apps, categories, and websites to block • See your current status and time remaining on the Home screen ■ Two ways to block • Schedule Blocks→Set days and start/end time to block during specific time windows. • Timer Blocks→Set a daily total limit (minutes) and block after you reach it. ■ Unlock & pause (behavior depends on the mode) • Allow immediate unlock, unlock after a waiting time, or disallow unlock • Pick the intensity that fits your routine. ■ Premium (auto-renewable subscription) • Monthly / yearly plans • Includes stronger focus modes and enhanced anti-bypass features (within iOS limitations). • Pricing, billing, and free-trial availability follow what’s shown in the App Store and your settings. • Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. ■ Languages • Japanese / English (switch in Settings; follows device language if not selected) ■ Important note • Blocking/unlocking behavior depends on iOS and Screen Time permission. Some features require permission to work.

LockTimer lets you choose how long apps remain available and how long they stay locked afterward. Instead of blocking apps immediately, set a limited amount of time to use them first. When time is up, the selected apps lock automatically. Access returns when the lock duration ends. Use it before bed, during breaks, before work, or whenever you want to step away from your phone after using it briefly. How It Works 1. Choose the apps to lock 2. Set the time until lock 3. Set the lock duration and start the timer You can also create schedules that lock apps automatically on selected days and times. Timers take priority while running, and active schedules resume afterward. Features • Set the time until apps lock • Set the lock duration • Choose apps to lock • Create schedules by weekday and time • View the remaining lock time • Check timers with Live Activity • Manage multiple timers and schedules The free version lets you create up to two timers and start one timer per day. Pro removes timer creation and daily start limits and enables schedules. Terms of Use https://apps.mishimadesign.com/locktimer/legal.html#terms-en
