Takeover is a screen time control app and app blocker. Pick the apps that eat your day, and Tako, a small 3D robot, locks them at bedtime, during work or study, while you focus, or once today's limit is used up. Open a locked app and Tako asks first: do you really need it right now? BLOCK APPS ON YOUR SCHEDULE • Routines lock your chosen apps at set times: bedtime, work hours, study time, a slow morning. • App limits give a group of apps a daily time budget, like 30 minutes of social media. When it runs out, those apps stay locked until midnight. • Focus sessions lock everything you chose, from 15 minutes to two hours, with one tap. A PAUSE BEFORE THE SCROLL • A locked app shows Tako's block screen instead of your feed. • Unlock on your terms: a short breathing pause for a few minutes of access, a walk of a few hundred steps, or strict mode with no unlocks at all. • Optional Tako Gate: a Shortcuts automation can send a blocked app straight to Takeover's check-in. SEE YOUR SCREEN TIME • Today's screen time, your week and your most-used apps, shown privately by iOS. • Tako counts the opens you resisted and the minutes you stayed focused. • Set a daily goal and see how many hours a week it gives back. ONE SCREEN, ONE ROBOT Everything sits on one home screen around Tako: Apps, Routines, Limits, Focus and Stats. No feeds, no badges, no clutter. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up. • No ads. • Your goals, routines and stats stay on your phone. iOS doesn't even tell Takeover which apps you picked: the Screen Time framework keeps that private. HOW IT WORKS Takeover uses Apple's Screen Time framework (Family Controls) to block apps on your own iPhone. iOS asks for your permission once. You can change or remove the apps Takeover guards at any time. It is made for managing your own screen time, not for parental control. SUBSCRIPTION Takeover is a premium app: choose a subscription to use it. Eligible new subscribers start with a free trial. The plan, trial length and price are shown before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Promo and offer codes can be redeemed in the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://takeover.cloud/privacy.html
