Parental Control vs Time in Focus

Screenlox gives parents instant, real-time control over their child's device — from anywhere, in one tap. Set up takes under three minutes: scan a QR code to pair devices, approve Apple Screen Time, and you're done.  Lock or unlock your child's apps instantly from your parent dashboard; your child sees the updated state in real time. When locked, they can send an unlock request with a single tap — parents approve or decline immediately. Background enforcement means restrictions stay active even if the child app is closed. Whether you're at work or in the next room, Screenlox gives you the fastest, cleanest parental control experience on iOS — one-tap locking, real-time sync, and no complicated setup.

I built Time In Focus for myself as much as for anyone. I kept sitting down to do real work and then watching an hour go somewhere else. The problem was never that I didn't want to focus — it was making my phone less distracting, and having something to show for my work. So I made the thing I needed: a quiet timer that holds the line I set, and a way to close the apps that pull at me before they get the chance. It doesn't do anything clever. It keeps time, holds the line you set, and shows you what you did. That's it. I use it every day. FOCUS SESSIONS Pick a 25-minute sprint for something small or a 45-minute block for deep work. When the session ends, a break timer gives you room to step back before the next one. Set a daily goal, keep a streak if streaks help you, and have something to look back at. FOCUS SHIELD This is the part I lean on most. Before you start, you choose the apps you don't want to reach for. Once the session begins, the shield holds them closed for the whole thing. The only way past it is to end the session — no “just five minutes.” It's not enforcement. It's a door you can close, and a reminder of what you decided when you sat down. The apps are still there when you're done; they just don't get you mid-session. BLOCKING ON A SCHEDULE Set protected windows — the first hour after you wake up, the stretch before bed — and the apps you pick stay closed during them, session or not. Everything about blocking has its own Blocking tab: what's blocked right now, each window and its apps, and, with Screen Time access, how long you used each blocked app this week. TASKS Add what you're working on before or during a session and check things off as you go. When a stray thought shows up — and it always does — the parking lot catches it, so you can set it down and stay where you are instead of chasing it. FOCUS VISUALS & SOUND Turn the screen into something quieter to sit with. More than fifteen visuals — Aurora, Grid, and Glass among them — shift slowly as the session runs. Pair them with beach waves, nature, or brown or white noise if quiet isn't your thing. WHAT YOU DID A weekly calendar, a daily session chart, and lifetime stats. Not a scoreboard — a receipt. The days you actually showed up, kept where you can see them. BADGES Small markers along the way, from your first ten sessions out to the far end. They're there if you like them, easy to ignore if you don't.
