AppBlock Screen Time Control vs Focus Blocks

AppBlock is a simple app blocker for real screen time control. Block apps by schedule, by daily app time limit, by number of opens or by location, and stop scrolling without relying on willpower. Pick the apps that pull you in, like social media, Reels, short videos or games, then choose how to block them. AppBlock uses Apple's Screen Time system, so a blocked app shows a shield screen when you try to open it. WAYS TO BLOCK • Quick Block: start a focus session in one tap. A countdown shows how long is left. • Schedules: block apps during work, study, dinner or bedtime. Pick the days and the times. • Daily limits: set how long you can use an app each day. When the time is up, the app is blocked. • Open limits: allow only a few opens a day. The blocked screen shows how many you have left. • Location blocking: block apps when you are at school, the library or the office, or when you are away from a place you choose. SEE YOUR SCREEN TIME Guess your daily screen time, then see the real number. Insights show your screen time and your most used apps each day for free. Weekly and monthly views come with Premium. MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Stop doomscrolling at night • Study or work without your phone pulling you away, with an app blocker that stays on • Keep dinner and family time phone free • Switch off work apps when you get home PRIVACY The apps you pick stay private.

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.
