HOW TO USE OFFLINER: 1) Answer a few questions to build your plan 2) Choose the apps you want gone 3) Start your detox* If you want your time back from social media, Offliner lets you make the decision once instead of every day. We aren't another screen time app you can switch off in two taps. Once a block is set, it can't be turned off on impulse. You do the hard part once. Offliner holds it for you. Every app goes in one of three places: Blocked, Limited or Allowed. If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at support@offliner.app. NOTE: Offliner uses Apple's Screen Time to block apps. Blocks set during a detox cannot be removed early. *App blocking features require a subscription Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
LockedIn

LockedIn turns your iPhone into a single-purpose focus device. Tap LOCK IN, set how long you want to focus, and the entire screen becomes a wall-to-wall LCD timer — Casio watch face, brushed steel or olive military finish, your choice. No menus, no notifications mid-session, no temptation to scroll just one more time. —— FEATURES —— • Block timer. One session, one duration. From 1 minute to 10 hours. • Pomodoro mode. Configure focus length, break length, and rounds on the Timer page itself — the cycle runs automatically with a bell at every leg transition. • Strict Mode. Pick which apps you want blocked. During a session, those apps cannot be opened. Notifications from them are suppressed. Built on Apple's Family Controls and ManagedSettings — the same technology Apple uses for Screen Time. Phone calls still ring. • Rotate to lock in. From any page, rotate your iPhone to landscape to instantly start your default session. • Two Themes. Steel daylight LCD or Olive military LCD. Classic, Modern, Data-Bank, and Terminal digit faces. • Stats. 7-day pixel bar chart, recent session log, daily streak. —— PRIVACY —— Everything stays on your iPhone. No accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs, no network requests. Your focus log lives in your phone's local storage and never leaves it. Delete the app and the data is gone — there is no server copy because there was never a server. —— WHO IT IS FOR —— Anyone who wants a focus timer that feels like a real device, not another app screaming for attention. Built for deep work, study sessions, writing, coding, meditation — anywhere a clean countdown helps. —— WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED —— No login. No subscription. No upsell. No "Pro" tier. No notifications outside of the one chime when your session ends. No data leaves the device.
