【Block distracting apps and make your home a place to focus】 Stop the scroll. Start living. You leave your phone alone all day when you're out. But the moment you get home, you're glued to it — scrolling social media, watching random videos, losing hours you'll never get back. Sound familiar? HOMU+ fixes this with one simple idea: it blocks distracting apps automatically when you're at home, and unblocks them when you leave. No willpower required. ◆ How It Works 1. Set your home location — just once. 2. Choose which apps to block. 3. Walk through the door — blocking starts automatically. 4. Leave home — everything unlocks instantly. That's it. No timers to set. No buttons to press. HOMU+ uses iOS's battery-efficient geofencing, so it runs silently in the background. ◆ 3 Block Styles - Always Block: Blocked the entire time you're home. Simple and powerful. - Usage Limit: Set a daily time limit. Once exceeded, apps are blocked. - Schedule: Block during specific hours, like "10 PM – 7 AM." Choose what fits your lifestyle. ◆ Built for People Who Can't Stop Simple blocking isn't enough. We know — you'll just turn it off. That's why HOMU+ gives you two powerful locks: - Cool Down: Press unlock, then wait. The delay kills the impulse. - Lockout: No unlocking at all while you're home. Zero temptation. Choose your level of discipline. Change it anytime. ◆ Focus Mode — Block Anywhere, Anytime Not at home? No problem. Tap "Focus Mode" to instantly block apps for a set time — like a Pomodoro timer. Perfect for studying at a cafe or working from the office. ◆ Weekly Report — Every Monday - Your actual screen time vs. your age group's average - "Perfect Days" — days you never unlocked - Time saved, converted to money, sleep, books, and more It's motivating when you're winning. It's a wake-up call when you're not. ◆ Widgets Add HOMU+ to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. See your block status and streak at a glance. A daily reminder that you're building a better habit. ◆ All Features - Geofence Blocking: Auto-detect home entry/exit - 3 Block Styles: Always, Usage Limit, or Schedule - 3 Unlock Modes: 5s Hold, Cool Down, or Lockout - Weekly Screen Time Report with age group comparison - Home Screen & Lock Screen Widgets - Milestone Sharing - Focus Mode (Pomodoro-style, works anywhere) - Multi-Presets: Save "Work," "Study," "Day Off" settings - Adjustable home detection radius ◆ Recommended For - People who waste hours on social media as soon as they get home - Students and professionals needing to focus on studies - Remote workers wanting to boost productivity at home - Anyone seeking a digital detox to improve sleep quality ◆ Privacy First Your location data and app usage history never leave your device. Everything is processed locally on your iPhone. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Your home should be your sanctuary — not a screen time trap. Take back your time with HOMU+. 【Privacy Policy】https://omochisoft.github.io/homu_privacy.html 【Terms of Use】https://omochisoft.github.io/homu_terms.html
