The app blocker that actually holds the line. A Screen Time limit you can dismiss in one tap isn't really blocking anything. Grindly is the app blocker that physically locks the apps wrecking your focus — until you've done what matters. No willpower required. Just lock in. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps to block — socials, games, whatever hijacks your focus • Set your daily non-negotiables — gym, deep work, reading… • Finish them to unlock, and watch your streak grow A REAL BLOCKER, NOT JUST A TIMER Grindly uses Apple Screen Time to actually shield your apps. Run a hard Lock-In Session (a focus timer you can't casually dismiss) or a task-gate that keeps apps locked until your non-negotiables are done. Everything runs on-device and private — your app selections are never readable by us.
