App Blocker: Screen Time โ Focus is easier when distractions are out of reach. App Blocker combines a flexible focus timer with real app blocking, so your chosen apps and categories stay unavailable while you work, study, read, create, or take time for yourself. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Choose the apps and categories that pull you away. App Blocker uses Apple's Screen Time permissions to shield them during an active focus session, then restores access when the session ends. START WITH A CLEAR GOAL Write down what you want to finish, choose a session length, and begin. Pick Quick, Deep, Extended, or Open mode depending on the time and attention you have available. MAKE FOCUS FEEL BETTER Settle into an immersive timer with ocean, beach, forest, mountains, campfire, rain, or a clean minimal background. Keep the session visible through Live Activities and supported widgets. PUT FOCUS ON YOUR SCHEDULE Create recurring Smart Auto routines for the moments you want to protect. When a scheduled session is due, App Blocker asks you to Start or Skip, so you stay in control. TRACK REAL PROGRESS Review focused time, weekly goals, streaks, and session history. Completed, ended-early, and skipped sessions are recorded honestly, helping you see the routine you are actually building.

Stop reading messages. Start closing them. Your work lives in your chats: the payment someone owes you, the meeting to confirm, the file you promised to send. It hides between stickers and good-morning messages, and it slips. fromCom is an AI assistant for your chats. It reviews your work conversations, pulls out the few things that actually need action, and lines them up for you. You never type a to-do. It all comes from the conversations you already have. 300 messages. 4 that need you. And each one arrives ready to finish in a single tap: โข Reply: a draft written in your voice, ready to send โข Calendar: turn a "let's meet Tuesday" into an event โข Reminder: never let an ask sit until you forget it โข Follow-up: chase the answer you are still waiting on โข Schedule: write it now, send it exactly when it matters Your AI does the work. You keep the final say: nothing is sent, booked, or scheduled until you say go. HOW IT WORKS 1. Link fromCom to your chats in one step. 2. Your AI assistant reviews your work conversations. 3. Each one becomes a ready action you finish in a tap. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone whose work lives in their chats. Freelancers keeping clients happy, business owners juggling suppliers and staff, anyone carrying a dozen open threads at once. Turn your chats into action. Never chase. Never get chased. From noise to done. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: fromCom at every 5 days against App Blocker's every 2 weeks. App Blocker's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
