WebsiteBlocker: your ultimate solution for escaping screen time. A perfect tool to focus on what really matters, block distractions, and increase productivity.

The app features are intuitive and user-friendly; you can quickly and easily select the apps and websites you want to block with just a tap.

WinRot cuts your screen time by half by making your phone boot up like an old PC every time you try to open a distracting app. Before feeds. Before infinite scroll. Before apps were built by teams of psychologists to keep you hooked, a computer was just a tool. You turned it on. You did your thing. You turned it off. WinRot brings that back. Try to open TikTok, Instagram, or whatever's stealing your day, and: * WinRot boots up an old-school desktop * You click the desktop icon * You clear a CAPTCHA By the time you're through, the urge has usually passed. The result: hours back in your day. Less autopilot scrolling. More sleep. More focus. More of your life actually lived. What you get: - Boot-Up Friction: selected apps open behind a retro loading screen and CAPTCHA, not a single tap - App Blocker: block apps instantly or schedule blocks for work, sleep, or study - Focus Timer: a chunky retro countdown that makes deep work sessions satisfying to watch - Usage Insights: see attempts blocked and time reclaimed, no guesswork WinRot doesn't ask you to have more willpower. It takes away the one thing modern apps gave you that you never asked for: instant access. PRIVATE & SECURE All blocking and monitoring happen entirely on your device. Nothing you browse ever leaves your phone. **Boot-Up Friction on 1 app + Focus Timer up to 10min for FREE. Everything else requires a subscription.** Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://winrot-privacy-policy.notion.site/WINROT-PRIVACY-POLICY-3bda28d2dee180b3a75ece6af8fc326f?source=copy_link
