App Blocker vs Dtox

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.

Stop bypassing your screen time limits. Tapping “Ignore Limit for 15 Minutes” is too easy. Standard blockers fail because dismissing them requires zero willpower. DTox replaces broken digital limits with the Escalation Ladder - an adaptive barrier system that makes every relapse physically costlier than the last. Want to open an addictive app? You’ll have to earn it in the physical world first. HOW THE ESCALATION LADDER WORKS Most blockers are binary - either completely open or strictly locked. DTox increases the real-world cost every time you give in: • Step 1: Take a 15-second guided CoreHaptics box-breath or state your intention. • Step 2: Walk 100 physical steps or climb 2 flights of stairs to clear brain fog. • Step 3: Leave your desk entirely, drink glass of water and take a photo of a glass. • Grace Period: Enjoy your calibrated 5-minute window - then the shield automatically re-arms. Stay off your guarded apps for the duration of your configurable memory window (1–24 hours), and the ladder resets back to Step 1. Relapse repeatedly, and the physical barrier climbs. 6 HARDWARE & SENSOR-POWERED BARRIERS • Altimeter Stair Climber: Powered by your iPhone’s altimeter. Wake up your sluggish brain by climbing 1 to 5 flights of stairs before feeds unlock. • CoreMotion Step Counter: Real-time pedometer tracking requires 50 to 500 physical steps with your device to earn screen time. • Screen-Down Flip: Proximity and motion sensors ensure your phone rests facedown on a flat surface for up to 2 minutes. • Mindful Box Breathing: Interrupt dopamine rushes with synchronized, tactile vibration sessions powered by Apple’s CoreHaptics engine. • Intention Statement: Destroy thumb muscle memory by typing a custom accountability phrase word-for-word. • Cognitive Logic & Math: Engage your prefrontal cortex with focus-demanding arithmetic challenges. TAMPER-PROOF DISCIPLINE & STRICT MODE • Strict Mode: Lock your active Focus Shields to prevent editing friction levels, lowering penalties, or deleting shields during moments of weakness. • Emergency Pass with Cooldown: Safe, intentional access for real emergencies without letting you surrender your progress. • Custom Focus Schedules: Automate continuous 24/7 enforcement or schedule deep-work routines filtered by days of the week. • Safari & Web Protection: Deep native integration with Apple’s FamilyControls to block specific apps, full categories, and web domains simultaneously. • Defended Insights Dashboard: Track local analytics via SwiftCharts - see total prevented app launches, hours reclaimed, and actual stairs climbed. 100% ON-DEVICE PRIVACY Your screen habits and guarded apps belong to you alone. • No account creation or email required • No remote servers, cloud databases, or tracking pixels • Powered 100% locally with SwiftData and native Apple frameworks FREE VS. DTOX PRO: • Free Tier: Includes 1 fully customizable Focus Shield with core barrier access. • DTox Pro (In-App Purchase): Unlocks unlimited Focus Shields, 3+ barrier rungs per ladder, and Strict Mode enforcement.
