Stop scrolling. Start finishing. Unstuck is a procrastination killer for people who already know the tricks and still can't stop opening the same four apps. Pick a task, set a duration, and Screen Time shields the distractions until the timer runs out. No mascots. No streak guilt-trips. No dashboards pretending to be work. Just a hard stop between you and the feed. **What it does** - OS-level blocking via Screen Time — not a polite reminder - Shielded apps stay shielded until the session ends - Live countdown with apps-blocked count front and center - Local focus log so you can see the minutes you actually showed up **Three session modes** - *Pomodoro* — 25/5 focus and break intervals - *Micro-task* — one small unstuck action, distractions off until it's done - *Schedule* — recurring weekly windows that run themselves **Built for serious users** - FamilyActivityPicker for private app and category selection - Custom recurring schedules with day and time ranges - Strict mode confirms before you can bail early - Daily streak and focus stats, on-device only **Privacy** App selections use Apple's privacy-preserving tokens. History stays on device. No accounts. No tracking. No cloud. Requires iOS 17 and Screen Time authorization. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Your words stay yours. Skratch keeps out of the way so you can just write.
