Blockr vs Unspiral

Take back your time. Blockr is a screen time app for people who are done pretending. No streaks. No cute mascots. No pretending you only used Instagram for "15 minutes today." Set a daily limit for the apps that are stealing your life. Watch the visual decay every minute you go over. Feel it. Then close the app and go do something that actually matters. FEATURES App Limiter Set a daily time budget for the apps killing your focus. Pick the apps, set the minutes, done. When you go over, the app gets limited and you see it — clearly, in real time, with no way to pretend it isn't happening. Schedules Block apps automatically at the times of day you keep losing. Mornings before you've started work. Evenings when you should be asleep. Set it once and let the schedule do the discipline for you. Focus Mode A no-mercy block for when you actually need to lock in. Pick the apps, and they're gone until you are done. No "just five minutes" loophole. Save modes for easy access later. Quick Block One tap. Apps blocked instantly for as long as you choose. For the moments you feel yourself reaching for the phone and want to stop the loop before it starts. Analytics Comparisons and context that don't lie. See where your hours are actually going and how it stacks up against what you said you wanted. In-depth app usage. Track your days, weeks, months and years. Focus Feed When you need to scroll, scroll through something that sharpens you instead of dulling you. A curated stream of quotes on philosophy, life, and the ideas worth sitting with. PRIVACY Blockr runs entirely on your device. Your screen time data never leaves your phone. Built on Apple's Screen Time framework — accurate to the minute, private by design. No accounts required, no data harvesting, no third parties watching what you do. WHO IT'S FOR - Founders, creatives, and operators who know their phone is the bottleneck - Anyone who's tried five "wellness" apps and ended up using the phone more - People who want the truth, not a dopamine hit for "doing well" PRICING Try Blockr free for a few days. Continues as a subscription afterward — see the in-app paywall for current pricing in your region. One price, full access, no tiers or hidden upsells. Stop optimizing your scroll. Optimize your life.
