Grow a little world by spending less time on your phone. Blob turns time away from your phone into growth for a companion and a home you make your own. Read another chapter, enjoy a conversation, or get on with your day. Your time away gives you something to come back to. TIME OFF YOUR PHONE, VISIBLE PROGRESS Earn XP from phone-free time during waking hours and watch your companion evolve through 30 levels. No timer to start or app to keep open. KEEP APPS BLOCKED, GROW FASTER Earn a separate bonus of 30 XP per waking hour while your selected apps stay protected. Temporary unlocks and protection pauses pause the bonus; XP already earned stays yours. FOUR PATHS TO DISCOVER Choose and hatch a companion from one of four worlds: Woodland, Celestial, Tidal, or Ember. Watch them evolve into new forms and unlock belongings to decorate their world as they grow. A HOBBY AND A WORLD OF FINDS Give your companion a name and choose gardening, foraging, or collecting. Earn discoveries through time away, then return to see what they’ve found. Collect keepsakes and arrange their home your way. A PAUSE BEFORE YOU SCROLL Add protection to distracting apps. Solve a math challenge for temporary access, or leave the app blocked and keep your time. Adjust challenge settings and schedules to suit your habits. KEEP YOUR PROGRESS CLOSE Bring your companion to your Home Screen with widgets. See your daily activity, weekly trends, and streaks as you build a healthier relationship with your phone. Prefer a simpler dashboard? Switch to Blob Minimal in Settings while keeping your app protection and saved progress. Phone-free growth requires Screen Time access. Progress updates when Screen Time data is available; estimates are labeled in the app. Growth pauses during your chosen sleep hours. Full access requires an in-app purchase. Available plans, prices, and any trial terms are shown before purchase.
