About

App Blocker OffKit

Features
Read full description

OffKit helps you stop impulsive scrolling and use your phone intentionally. Block distracting apps and categories, then choose what it takes to regain access. Unlock with a QR code placed in another room, reach a daily step goal, or complete your Apple Watch Move or Exercise ring. That small real-world action interrupts the doomscrolling habit loop. Create focused scenarios for studying, work, evenings, or sleep. Choose flexible durations, protect changes with Face ID or Touch ID, and add a disable countdown when you want extra friction. OffKit uses Apple's Screen Time and HealthKit APIs. Your scenarios and activity data stay on your device and are never sold. Terms of Use: https://offkit.eu/terms
