A focus app that doesn't ask nicely. Lock the apps that own you, then walk away. Pick a one-time block, or a routine that runs itself. Want out before the routine ends? Earn it: a 10-second hold, then a 5-minute lockout. Friction beats willpower. PICK YOUR POISON • Block any app, category, or website on iOS • One-time blocks from 15 minutes to 24 hours • Recurring routines configured by weekday and time window • Multi-day schedules. Mornings before work, evenings before bed, study hours, sleep time A WEEK ON AUTOPILOT Routines run themselves. No daily decisions, no negotiating. The doomscroll dies on a schedule you set when you meant it. NO TAKEBACKS Hold to break for 10 seconds. Then a 5-minute lockout before the routine actually deactivates. Built for the version of you that committed when you set the block. Not the version of you scrolling at 2am. QUIETLY TAKE IT BACK Track the hours you reclaimed. No streaks to protect. No nudges. No badges. No b******t. Just the time back on the clock. PRIVACY FIRST Blocking is enforced on-device through Apple's Screen Time framework.
