Haven is a screen time blocker built around one physical pause: stretch to unlock your phone. Choose the apps that pull you in. Haven uses Apple Screen Time to shield them. When you reach to unlock, Haven asks you to stretch first — a short breath-and-body reset, long enough to break the reflex. Most of the time you'll realize you didn't need the phone. When you do, it's still there. Why Haven feels different: Real blocking with Apple Screen Time. Apps, categories, and websites are fully shielded. A body-first pause. Stretch and breath sequences interrupt the loop before every guided unblock, so the pause isn't just a button. Honest rules. Daily unblock caps, emergency unlocks, schedules, and allowed windows — set them once and let Haven enforce them. Rooted weekly history. A calm reflection of your phone rhythm. No streaks, no shame. No account. No email. No sign-in. Your blocking setup stays on-device. Extreme Mode for when you mean it — cold-turkey blocking that even the shield can't override. Seven-day trial and Premium include: More blockers and more control Schedules and allowed windows Custom, zero, or unlimited guided-unblock caps Custom break lengths A richer library of stretch sequences Rooted reports and premium history views Premium app icon and widget extras Extreme Mode for cold-turkey blocking Haven is built for people who want firmer limits without streak pressure, guilt, or a maze of settings. Block first. Stretch. Breathe. Usually you'll realize you didn't need the phone, and when you do, it's there.
