Block distractions. Get things done. Live your life. Binky Block is the app blocker that actually negotiates with you. Most blockers slam the door and lean on willpower you've already run out of. Binky doesn't. When you reach for a blocked app, you don't hit a brick wall — you hit Binky, a baby chimpanzee focus coach who asks one simple question: "What are you actually opening it for?" Make your case. Sometimes he caves. Sometimes he roasts you. Either way, you think before you scroll. HOW THE NEGOTIATION WORKS 1. You tap a blocked app. Binky pops up instead — no countdown, no shame. 2. You make your case. "Just 5 minutes" works on a wall. It doesn't always work on Binky. 3. You win, lose, or learn. Granted: a few minutes back. Denied: try again later. Either way, you moved with intent. WHAT YOU GET - Block the apps that eat your day, from TikTok and Instagram to anything else that keeps pulling you back. - Schedules that stick. Lock yourself out during mornings, work hours, or after midnight — before your willpower bails. - Negotiate to unlock. Talk to Binky instead of mindlessly tapping past a timer. - Honest stats. Wins, slip-ups, and streaks. Just the facts, no shame attached. - Touch Grass mode. Binky suggests something better: a book, water, a walk, your group chat. - Five coaching styles. Pick the Binky that actually gets through to you. WHO IT'S FOR If you've tried screen-time limits, grayscale, and raw willpower and you're still doomscrolling at midnight, Binky Block is built for you. Great for focus, studying, working from home, ADHD brains, and anyone trying to break a phone habit for good. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Binky Block uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework, which means we literally cannot see which apps you block. We don't sell your data, and we never show ads. Ever. PRICING Start with a 7-day free trial on any subscription. A free plan is always available with one blocked app. Paid plans unlock unlimited blocked apps, all five coaching styles, full stats, and Touch Grass mode. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
