App Blocker: Lockscreen helps you stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. Pick the apps or websites you want to block, choose a small task, and start a lock. Your task gate keeps the selected distractions blocked until the timer is finished and you mark the task complete. Use it for work, study, bedtime, morning routines, or any moment when one tap turns into twenty minutes. Main features: - Block selected apps and websites with Apple's Screen Time permission - Choose common unlock tasks like clear desk, drink water, write one sentence, breathe, or open homework - Add custom tasks and custom timers - Pick gentle, timed, or stricter lock styles - Use quick lock templates for work, study, sleep, and emergency moments - Track private stats like completed locks, tasks, and protected minutes - Restore purchases and manage subscription status from Settings The app is ADHD-aware but not medical treatment. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure ADHD or any health condition. It is a practical productivity tool for creating friction before distracting apps. Privacy: the app is designed to keep lock rules, task choices, and stats on device. It does not read messages, passwords, or content inside the apps you block.

Unfry
Read full descriptionHide full description
Unfry is an app blocker that helps you reduce screen time by earning your next break. Read, study, move or make something, then use your effort to unlock time for the apps you enjoy. When a quick check becomes a long scroll, give yourself a reason to do something else first. Combine scheduled app blocking, a focus timer and small daily activities to make more room for life outside your screen. How it works 1. Choose the distracting apps you want to block and set your schedule. 2. Complete an Unfry activity or Quick Bit to earn Braincells, your in-app coins. 3. When you want a break, tap Fry to spend Braincells on screen time. Earning coins does not automatically unlock your apps. Your selected apps lock again when the break ends and your blocking schedule is active. App blocking that fits your day Use Frywall to block selected apps during study, work or other times you want fewer distractions. Set a schedule or choose always-on protection. Decide when to spend your earned screen time instead of opening an app out of habit. A focus timer for things worth doing Read a chapter, study for an exam, work on a project, write or choose another activity. Set your timer, keep Unfry open and give the task your attention. Completed timed sessions earn Braincells without a photo check. Quick Focus offers a simple way to start a focus session. Quick Bits for small wins Use a few spare minutes for a short activity. Go for a walk, do push-ups or squats, hold a plank, make your bed or tidy up. You can also follow a breathing exercise, take a moment for prayer or write a reflection. Quick Bits use guided steps, movement tracking or photo checks, depending on the activity. Choose a small action that fits the time and energy you have. Fewer distractions in the evening and morning Set bedtime and wake-up routines to create space around your first and last scroll. Night protection restricts distracting apps while you follow your routine. See your progress Follow your Braincells balance, daily streak and earned badges. Check your screen time and activity history to see how you spend your day and what you have completed. Start with one useful thing. Earn a break. Make more room for life. Subscription A subscription is required to use Unfry. Available plans, prices and any trial offer are shown in the app before you subscribe. The app interface is in English.
