QuitScroll vs Focus Blocks

QuitScroll is the screen time app that doesn't sugarcoat it. System-level blocking, shame screens, and guilt-trip tasks for people who've tried everything else and still can't stop doomscrolling. NO GENTLE NUDGES. NO KIND REMINDERS. Most screen time apps show you a number and hope you care. QuitScroll makes you feel something. When you try to open a blocked app, you're hit with a brutal shame screen. There's a 10-second countdown if you want to unlock it - guilt-trip messages the entire time. If you crack, your streak resets to zero. Permanently logged. This is the strict app blocker for people who know they have a problem and want real consequences, not a virtual tree.

Focus Blocks is an app blocker for iPhone and iPad that puts distracting apps out of reach during the time you set aside to focus. Choose the apps. Choose the rule. Block during focus hours, allow only inside chosen windows, or set a daily app budget. When a rule applies, selected apps are hidden system-wide until they are allowed again. No willpower games, no streaks, no social layer — just one clear setting that gives you your attention back. Built on Apple's Screen Time APIs, Focus Blocks works entirely on your device. It has no backend and no account. Your rules sync between your own devices through iCloud, under your own Apple ID. Screen Time app selections are private device-local tokens, so each device asks you to confirm the apps it should block before enabling a synced rule there. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create as many focus blocks as you want — mornings, weekdays, deep-work afternoons • Pick specific apps and whole categories in one tap • Block during a schedule, allow only during a schedule, or set a daily limit • Enable synced rules separately on each device after confirming local app selections • Add a weekly setup window so blocks cannot be edited on impulse • Enable or disable any inactive block from one screen PRIVACY BY DEFAULT • No sign-up, no account • No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs • Uses Apple's Screen Time framework — selections and usage stay on-device • iCloud Key-Value Store is the only remote storage, and it lives in your own Apple ID Focus Blocks is self-directed. It is not a parental-control product and does not monitor or manage other people's devices. Requires iOS 18 or later.
