Braino: Master Your Focus & End the Brainrot. STOP SCROLLING. START LIVING. Do you feel your attention span shrinking? Are you trapped in a loop of endless scrolling, losing hours to "brainrot" content? Your phone should be a tool for growth, not a source of digital addiction. MEET BRAINO β THE SMART SCREEN TIME FILTER. Unlike basic app blockers that you easily bypass, Braino introduces a Psychological Friction Layer. We donβt just block apps; we re-wire your dopamine response. WHY BRAINO IS DIFFERENT: 1. THE REWARD-BASED ACCESS (EARN YOUR TIME) Want to open social media? You have to earn it. Complete a quick biohacking quiz, solve a focus task, or finish a knowledge fact. Braino ensures that every minute of "fun" is preceded by a moment of "growth." 2. DEEP WORK & MONK MODE Activate a strict lock that turns your smartphone into a "dumb phone." No distractions, no notifications, no loopholes. Perfect for university students during exam revision or professionals in deep work sessions. 3. ANTI-DOOMSCROLL GUARD Our smart filter detects mindless scrolling patterns. When Braino senses youβre losing control, it intervenes with a "breathing pause" or a discipline check to bring you back to the present moment. FREE FEATURES (Get Started for Free): - Basic App Blocking: Set a focus limit for one distracting app of your choice. - Essential "No Limit" Zones: Keep your essential tools (Maps, Health, Phone) always accessible. - Daily Focus Stats: View your screen time for the last 24 hours.

IBlock is a moment of calm for your phone. Choose the apps that can wait, slide the bar down, and the noise stops. Work, read, or do what you came to do. Choose the apps you want to block. Set how long. Slide the right bar down and your session starts. Those apps stay locked until the time is up. UNINTERRUPTED There is no stop button, so a pause stays a pause. If something truly can't wait, Emergency Mode ends a session early, twice in any seven days. YOUR CHOICE OF APPS You pick exactly what gets blocked with Apple's Screen Time app picker. Everything else, like calls and messages, stays available. ROUTINE Block the same apps on the days and hours you choose, automatically. REPORTS See the focused time you completed over the last seven days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your choices and history stay on your iPhone. IBlock has no account. IBlock uses Apple's Screen Time. You'll be asked to allow it once. IBLOCK PREMIUM IBlock Premium is the full IBlock experience: the snap and focus sessions whenever you like, your Routine and your Reports. Monthly, yearly with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
