Spending more time on your phone than you meant to? Frost Lock puts your most distracting apps behind a lock, for a set time or for a lock you cannot open until it ends. [HOW IT WORKS] β€’ Lock: block the apps you choose for a set amount of time. β€’ Deep Freeze: a strict lock that cannot be opened until the timer runs out. β€’ Limits: give an app a daily time budget. When it runs out, that app stays locked until midnight. β€’ Routines: lock your apps automatically on the days and times you set. β€’ History: see time spent per app, time locked, and how often you tried to open a blocked app. [PRIVACY] Frost Lock is built on Apple's Screen Time. Everything stays on your device and is deleted when you delete the app. When you want to put the distracting apps down, Frost Lock is there. --- Frost Lock Plus Go ad free and create up to 10 routines and up to 10 daily limits, with more than one app per limit. Every basic feature, including the lock itself, is free and stays free. Frost Lock Plus is an auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings. β€’ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ β€’ Privacy Policy: https://ninemomo.github.io/FrostLock/ β€’ Email: ninemomo.public@gmail.com

About

AppTimeLock

Features
Read full description

The apps that pull you in are designed to. AppTimeLock puts you back in charge of where your time goes. Now available in 8 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Japanese and Portuguese. A BUDGET, NOT JUST A WALL Give an app a daily limit. Use it, and when the budget runs out it locks for a cooldown β€” then refills. Or block outright when you'd rather not open the door at all. Block a single app or a whole category in one go. STRICT MODE Most blockers fail at the moment you need them most. Strict Mode adds a waiting period before you can remove or weaken any block β€” so a moment of weakness can't undo your whole day. SCHEDULES Block apps during work hours, bedtime, or any window you choose, on the days you choose. PRIVATE BY DESIGN AppTimeLock never learns which apps you pick, and nothing about your blocks ever leaves your device. No account, no tracking, no cloud. AppTimeLock Pro unlocks unlimited apps, whole-category blocking, always-on mode, schedules, and Strict Mode. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
