AntiScroll vs Focus

AntiScroll helps you protect your attention by blocking distracting apps and websites during focus sessions. Start a Quick Block when you need immediate focus, create scheduled routines, or use Delay Apps for a calm pause before opening selected distractions. AntiScroll uses Apple’s Screen Time framework, so you stay in control of what is selected. Features: • Quick Block for immediate focus sessions • App and website selection through Apple Screen Time • Delay Apps with a calm impulse pause • Scheduled and recurring focus blocks • Calm friction before ending a block early • Optional Device Sync for website blocks on selected Macs • Premium commitment tools for stronger focus AntiScroll has a minimalist, non-shaming interface designed to help you stay focused without guilt or clutter. The optional AntiScroll Mac Companion is downloaded separately and is not required to use the iPhone app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Focus is the app blocker that keeps your word for you. Pick a task, set a duration, and hold to commit. From that second, your chosen apps are locked behind a shield — and there is no snooze, no "remind me in 15 minutes", no way around it. The only way out is through. WHY FOCUS WORKS WHEN WILLPOWER DOESN'T Every distracting app is built by teams whose whole job is to keep you scrolling. Focus levels the field: once you commit, the decision is out of your hands. Open a blocked app and the shield answers with your own words — "I committed to finish my thesis until 21:30." Not a system warning. Your promise, held up to you. STRICT SESSIONS • Choose a task, a duration, and hold to start — a deliberate gesture, not an accidental tap • Blocked apps stay blocked until time is up; the session cannot be cancelled • A live countdown on your Lock Screen keeps the goal in sight • One Emergency Pass per session: unlock a single app for five minutes, then the wall returns FOCUS ON A SCHEDULE • Recurring focus windows for work, study, or sleep — your mornings block themselves • Real alarms that ring from a locked phone, so a schedule is a commitment, not a suggestion • Each rule runs on Apple's Screen Time system, enforced by iOS itself SEE THE PAYOFF • Watch your screen time fall week by week, right next to your focus hours • Per-app insight: what an app cost you before Focus, and what it costs now • Streaks and lifetime stats that never judge, only count TIMER & ALARMS • A clean standalone timer with proper, full-volume alarms • Pick a classic ring or search a song you love as your alarm sound PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time framework, and your activity never leaves your iPhone. We couldn't read it even if we wanted to, because iOS doesn't allow anyone to. The only thing we keep is anonymous usage statistics, never your content. WHO IT'S FOR Students who lose evenings to their phone. Writers, developers, and makers guarding deep work. Anyone who has deleted an app on Sunday and reinstalled it on Monday. Your time is the only thing you truly spend. Focus makes sure it goes where you promised.
