HabitBlocker vs Earned Time

Your apps are locked. Complete your habits to unlock them. HabitBlocker uses Apple's Screen Time API to genuinely block the apps and websites you choose. No "Ignore Limit" button. No workarounds. Your distracting apps stay locked until you earn them back by completing healthy daily habits. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose what to block — pick specific apps, websites, or entire categories 2. Set your daily habits — exercise, meditate, read, drink water, or create your own 3. Complete habits to unlock — each habit earns you screen time minutes 4. When time runs out, apps lock again — motivating you to keep building habits THREE HABIT TYPES • Tap — Mark simple habits as done with a single tap • Timer — Set timed activities like 10 minutes of reading or meditation • Counter — Track quantities like glasses of water or pages read FEATURES THAT KEEP YOU ON TRACK • Smart Scheduling — Set habits for specific days (e.g., gym Mon/Wed/Fri) • Streaks & Stats — 30-day trend charts, monthly heatmap, screen time saved • Live Activity — Countdown timer right on your Lock Screen • Home Screen Widget — Check your daily progress at a glance • Milestone Achievements — Unlock badges like Week Warrior and Monthly Master • Per-Habit Reminders — Custom notification times for each habit • Holiday Mode — Pause blocking when you're on vacation • Share Progress — Generate a branded stats card for social media WHY HABITBLOCKER WORKS Unlike Screen Time limits you can tap "Ignore," HabitBlocker uses Family Controls to create a real barrier between you and your distracting apps. The only way through is doing something good for yourself first. PRIVACY FIRST • All data stays on your device • No account required • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads.

Earned Time flips the deal on screen time. Instead of guilt-tripping you with a weekly usage report, it pauses your distracting apps until you've done something that actually matters to you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want paused — social, games, whatever pulls you in. 2. Set up goals from the activities you want to do more of: reading, studying, language practice, anything. 3. Pick which apps count as productive for each activity. 4. Time you spend in those apps is tracked automatically and converts into unlock minutes. 5. Spend your earned minutes whenever you want. Your paused apps come back for exactly that long, then lock again on their own. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT No shaming. No arbitrary limits you'll disable in a weak moment. You set the exchange rate between effort and freedom, and the app just holds you to it. FEATURES • Automatic tracking — productive app time becomes unlock minutes with no timers to start and no sessions to remember • Focus sessions for offline work that no app can measure • Roll over unused minutes so a strong day can fund a slow one • See exactly how you earned: which activity, which apps, how many minutes • Anti-bypass controls — confirmation delays, a daily cap on manual unlocks, or hide the escape hatch entirely • Streaks and achievements • Daily or weekly goals PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account, no sign-up, and no server. Earned Time makes no network connections at all. Your Screen Time data and your goals never leave your iPhone.
