Apps are built to hijack your attention. Solace fights back. Solace is a circuit-breaker for your digital habits. Pick the apps that steal your time, set a daily limit, and Solace pulls you out the moment you start doomscrolling. Not by tracking you, but by putting a shield between you and the feed until you choose to take a break. SEE WHO'S STEALING YOUR TIME Reports show where your day goes, which apps cost you the most, and how much you are winning back week by week. SET A LIMIT AND HOLD IT Choose your most distracting apps and a daily allowance. When it runs out, those apps are blocked until tomorrow. Need a moment? Take a short break, then Solace resumes the block automatically, even while the app is closed. FOCUS SESSIONS Start an instant session when you need to get something done, or schedule recurring sessions around your work, study, or family time. Run several at once. PROTECT YOUR SLEEP Bedtime mode limits social, entertainment, and games until morning so you get to bed on time and actually stay there. CHOOSE HOW FIRM TO BE From gentle nudges to a full lockdown. Fortress mode hands the unlock code to a trusted buddy, so loosening a limit means asking a real person. TAP A TAG TO LOCK IN Pair a physical NFC tag and tap your phone to it to block instantly ā no schedule, no timer, no end time. Tap it again to unlock. Choose whether it shields everything or only your problem apps, then leave the tag in another room: getting back in means getting up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Solace uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your per-app usage is read inside a sandbox that Apple controls and never leaves your device. No ads, no data sales, no cross-app tracking. Read the full policy at solaceapp.co/privacy. SOLACE PRO Some features require a Solace Pro subscription, which starts with a 7-day free trial. Solace Pro is available monthly at $6.99 or yearly at $39.99. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

The AI takes 90 seconds. You come back 20 minutes later. That gap is not a discipline problem. It is a design problem: nothing tells you the agent finished. Your phone certainly doesn't. FlowTurn blocks the apps that eat your attention during the hours you choose, and hands them back exactly while Cursor or Claude Code is working. The moment the agent stops, the block returns. That is the part that matters. The block coming back is what pulls you out of the feed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose which apps to block and which hours matter. Once. 2. Install the hooks on your computer with a single command. Or just tell Cursor or Claude Code to install them for you, FlowTurn ships a setup guide written for AI agents to read. 3. Send a prompt. Your apps unlock. The agent finishes, and they lock again. There is a short pause after the agent stops before blocking returns, so you can pick things up where you left off. NOT SURE IT WORKS? SEE IT FIRST. FlowTurn includes a full demo inside the app. It runs the entire cycle, block, unblock, block again, in about a minute, with nothing connected and nothing to install. You open a blocked app, watch it open on its own, and watch it close again. Free, no account. WHAT YOU GET ⢠Automatic unblocking while your agent works, and automatic blocking when it stops ⢠Works with Cursor and Claude Code ⢠Schedules by day and hour, so evenings and weekends are yours ⢠A manual release when you genuinely need an app right now ⢠Keeps working when your computer is off, it falls back to a normal schedule YOUR APP LIST NEVER LEAVES THE IPHONE FlowTurn uses Apple's Screen Time APIs. Which apps you chose to block is stored on-device by iOS and is never transmitted, not even to us, the API does not expose that list to developers in the first place. Your computer sends exactly two things: "a task started" and "a task ended." No prompts, no code, no file names, no repository names. Nothing about what you are building. Every decision about what to block is made on your iPhone. You can turn everything off at any time. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH AGENTS A blocker on a fixed schedule cannot tell the difference between you waiting on a build and you avoiding work. So it either locks you out during a legitimate wait, until you disable it, which everyone eventually does, or it lets you scroll all day. FlowTurn reads the one signal that actually knows: whether your agent is running. FLOWTURN PRO The demo, one schedule and manual blocking are free, forever. Pro adds automatic unblocking driven by your agent, plus unlimited schedules, a different routine for deep work in the morning and meetings in the afternoon, each with its own apps. New subscribers get the first 14 days free on the yearly plan. On monthly, choose between 7 days free and a discounted first month. Cancel any time in Settings. REQUIREMENTS ⢠iPhone with iOS 17 or later ⢠A Mac, Linux machine, or Windows with WSL running Cursor or Claude Code ⢠Screen Time and notification permissions Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://flowturn.app/privacy
