Tap your phone to a key. Your feeds go quiet. Peace turns an NFC tag you probably already own (an old hotel key card, an amiibo, a transit card, a $1 sticker) into a physical off-switch for distracting apps. Tap to lock. To unlock you have to get up and tap again, and that small walk is usually enough to break the scroll. No $59 gadget to buy. No subscription. No tag yet? Start right away with in-app locking and add a key whenever you like. Built on Apple Screen Time, Peace adds the missing layer of intention, and it never sees which apps you choose. SCAN TO LOCK, SCAN TO UNLOCK Register any 13.56 MHz NFC tag once, then scan your key to lock a set of apps. Keep one tag by your bed for sleep, one on your desk for focused work. PROFILES, YOUR WAY Block a handful of apps, or allow only a few. Create profiles like Sleep, Extra Focus, or Mealtime — each with its own apps, schedule, and rules. SCHEDULES & AUTO-LOCK Wind down automatically at night, lock work apps during the day. Set it once and let your day run itself. STRICT MODE When you really mean it, add a minimum lock time so you can’t cave in a weak moment — with a backup PIN in case you ever lose your tag. STREAKS & STATS See the hours you reclaim and the streak you’re building. Progress you can feel. IPHONE + APPLE WATCH Lock from your wrist, check your status on a watch-face complication or Lock Screen widget, and quick-launch Peace from the Action Button or a Shortcuts NFC automation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Peace uses Apple’s Screen Time framework, so it works with opaque tokens and never sees which apps you pick. No account, no analytics, no ads — everything stays on your device. (Optional iCloud sync moves only your lock status between your own devices; your app choices never leave the device.) FREE TO START, PRO FREE FOR 7 DAYS, NEVER A SUBSCRIPTION Free: block up to 3 apps with one profile and one key, with no account and nothing to sign up for. Try every Pro feature free for 7 days. Nothing is charged automatically. Peace Pro is a one-time purchase, Family Sharing eligible, and unlocks unlimited profiles, keys and apps, plus category and website blocking, schedules, allowances, Strict Mode, custom lock screens, Apple Watch, widgets and full stats. Optional skip top-ups recharge your weekly skips without breaking your streak. Make peace with your phone. Note: Peace uses Screen Time (Family Controls). Like all apps of this kind, removing Peace will lift an active lock; strict mode adds friction but cannot fully prevent it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: TezBlock at weekly against Peace's every 3 months. TezBlock also leads on ratings volume (23 vs 1). Peace's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
