DetoxScreen blocks the apps that pull you in โ social media, video, games โ during the moments you want to stay focused. You set the rules, the app does the rest. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Block the apps of your choice in one tap โข Start a focus session with a chosen duration when you need to concentrate โข Create distraction-free schedules (work, sleep, meals, workouts) โข Give yourself "5 more minutes" right from the block screen โ a bounded grace period (3 a day), not an open door โข Filter the websites that waste your time โข Turn on Strict Mode so you can't disable a block on a whim โข Track the time you win back WHY DETOXSCREEN Most digital-wellbeing apps can be bypassed in two seconds.
