BlockMate vs Dying Soon

Stop doomscrolling. Without willpower. BlockMate is your AI mate for intentional screen time on iPhone. Instead of hard-blocking apps, it asks one honest question when you reach for Instagram, TikTok, or any app you'd rather not be on. Most of the time, you put the phone down on your own. The friendly way to reduce screen time, without locking yourself out of your own phone. THE PROBLEM You unlock your phone 80+ times a day. Most of those weren't your idea. Hard blockers fail because you override them. Willpower runs out by 2 PM. The lever that actually works is intention — and you only need one second of it, the moment your thumb is moving. Whether you call it doomscrolling, phone addiction, or just a habit you'd like to break, the same one-second lever applies. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that pull you in. Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, YouTube Shorts — gate any apps, categories, or websites in Safari. BlockMate uses Apple's FamilyControls API, so the gating is real. 2. When you reach for one, BlockMate asks why. A short, honest exchange. No password, no countdown — a 30-second conversation. The AI mate reflects what you said before it asks anything. 3. Walk away, or get exactly the time you asked for. Real reason? You get the minutes you named. Just bargaining? You'll catch yourself, and the app stays closed. Auto-locks when time's up. WHY IT WORKS - Reflects, then asks. A bare question is interrogation. BlockMate restates what you said before asking anything. - Self-compassion, not shame. Honest impulses get honored. Guilt cycles drive more scrolling, not less. - Your past self knew. You set this up in a clear moment, for a foggy one. - Adapts as you grow. The more intentional you become, the quieter BlockMate gets. VS HARD BLOCKERS Opal, One Sec, Jomo, ScreenZen, Refocus — every one promises to reduce screen time. Every one relies on willpower. BlockMate uses a different lever: a 30-second conversation in the moment your thumb is moving. A mate, not a warden. PRIVACY - Apple FamilyControls — your blocklist stays on your device. - Conversations are short, anonymized, and never sold. - No ad networks. No third-party trackers. The product is the business. PRICING Free to start. Upgrade to unlock unlimited negotiations, multi-app gating, and adaptive coaching that learns your patterns. Yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. The friendly way to reduce screen time. Helping people live a little more, scroll a little less.

Spend less time scrolling and make room for the things you care about. Dying Soon combines an app blocker with a life grid and thoughtful reminders. Choose distracting apps, set a schedule, or start a 30-minute focus session. When you need a pause, temporary unlocks let you choose 5, 15 or 30 minutes. FOCUS ON YOUR DAY • Choose apps to block with Apple's Screen Time controls. • Set a recurring schedule for work, bedtime or another routine. • Start a 30-minute Block Now session with one tap. • Keep one scheduled rule and unlimited Block Now sessions for free. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Explore your life grid in years, months or weeks. The countdown uses the birthday and lifespan setting you choose. It is a reflection tool, not a medical assessment or a prediction of when you will die. A MOMENT TO REFLECT Discover quotes as you keep distracting apps closed. Daily notifications are optional: choose zero to ten reminders. Use the app without notifications if you prefer. DYING SOON PRO Pro adds unlimited scheduled rules, so work, bedtime and weekends can each have their own routine. Choose a one-time Lifetime purchase or an auto-renewable Monthly subscription in the app. Existing purchases can be restored from Settings or the Pro screen. Prices are shown in your local currency before purchase. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. A Lifetime purchase is a single payment. No app account is required. Your birthday, life-grid settings and Screen Time selections stay on your device. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase information and anonymous paywall-interaction data for purchases and analytics.
