BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS. TOGETHER. DRVYN helps you and your friends stop scrolling at the same time. Choose the apps you want to block, invite a friend, and set a duration. When you’re both ready, your session starts together. Your distracting apps stay blocked while you focus on what you planned. Study for an exam. Finish an assignment. Have dinner without scrolling. Take a break from your phone with someone who wants to do the same. CHOOSE WHAT TO BLOCK Select your distracting apps using Apple’s Screen Time controls. Each person chooses their own blocklist, so you can take a break together without blocking the same apps. INVITE A FRIEND Find friends by username and invite them to a shared session. Send an invitation, agree on a duration, and get ready to start. START AND FINISH TOGETHER Your shared session begins when you’re both ready, with a synchronized countdown so you know how much time remains. SET YOUR DURATION Choose a quick break or a longer session. Use a preset, adjust the dial, or enter your own duration. BUILD SHARED ROUTINES Keep coming back with your friends. Completed sessions and shared progress help you turn a one-off break into a regular habit. TAKE A SOLO BREAK Want some time off your phone on your own? Start a solo session and block your selected apps for the duration you choose. HOW IT WORKS 1. Allow Screen Time access. 2. Choose the apps you want to block. 3. Set your session length. 4. Start on your own or invite a friend. 5. Your selected apps are restricted during the session. Screen Time permission is required for app blocking. An account and an internet connection are required for shared sessions. Less scrolling. More time for what you planned.
