Zone Focus vs Goalism

Block distracting apps and websites when your focus session starts. Use Strict Mode when Screen Time limits are too easy to ignore. No account, no third-party analytics, and your blocked app list stays on your device. Zone helps you stop scrolling, stay out of distracting apps, and protect the time you meant to spend away from your phone. CORE FEATURES STRICT APP AND WEBSITE BLOCKING Choose the apps and websites you keep opening. When you enter the Zone, they are shielded until your session ends. STRICT MODE Make sessions harder to abandon once they begin, so your commitment survives the moment you want to scroll. FOCUS TIMERS Use focused presets for short sprints, deep work blocks, longer flow sessions, or a custom duration. DYNAMIC ISLAND AND LIVE ACTIVITIES Track your remaining time from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without unlocking your phone. APPLE HEALTH SYNC Optionally save completed focus sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes. INSIGHTS AND STREAKS See focus time, completed sessions, streaks, and blocked attempts so progress stays visible. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Zone does not require an account, does not use third-party analytics, and cannot see the specific apps or websites you choose to block. Your focus history, streaks, insights, and Apple Health sync stay on your device. To support Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity updates, Zone may send limited timer-delivery data, such as a Live Activity push token, remaining time, running state, and APNs environment, to our backend solely to update that Live Activity. Zone does not send your blocked apps, websites, focus history, Health data, or personal usage analytics. Enter the Zone, stop scrolling, and protect your focus.

Goalism blocks the apps that pull you in, and puts the goal you wrote for yourself in their place. Start a focus session when you sit down to work. For as long as it runs, the apps you named stay shut — and if you reach for one anyway, you meet your own words instead of a scoreboard. FOCUS SESSIONS • Pick a length, name it, start it • The screen becomes one quiet scene and a countdown, and nothing else • Eight scenes to sit with — molten glass cooling, an ink well filling, an eclipse, sand falling • Ending early costs you a short wait, on purpose HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps you keep losing hours to • Write down what you actually wanted • Goalism steps in the moment you open them A DOOR, NOT A WALL There is a way past the block screen, on purpose. A wall with no door only teaches people to switch the whole thing off. Goalism asks you to wait a few seconds and read your own goal first — long enough to decide instead of react. BLOCK ON YOUR SCHEDULE • Time windows — block only during the hours that matter • Per-app windows — one app blocked all evening, another only during work • Daily limits — let an app run twenty minutes a day, then lock it until midnight SEE WHAT CHANGED How many sessions you finished and how many you ended early, your streak of days with a session in them, your longest one, and how often the block screen caught you. PRIVATE WHERE IT COUNTS No account. No advertising. No tracking across apps or websites, and no advertising identifier is ever read. Your goals, the apps you chose, and everything you write stay on your iPhone — Apple hides which apps you picked even from Goalism itself, and none of that is ever sent anywhere. What does leave the device is anonymous usage counts — that an app was opened, that a session was started or finished — so we can find where people get stuck. Never what you blocked, never what you wrote. GOALISM PRO Unlimited apps and goals, daily minute limits, hour-by-hour blocking, and your own photos on the block screen. Seven days free.
