Two months. That's what four hours of screen time a day costs you every year. Sanctum sets you free. Press start and your phone locks. No pause. No snooze. No "five more minutes." There is no button that lets you back in. Most app blockers leave an easy back door. A skip. An "extra time" unlock. So the scroll always wins, because it always can, in one tap. Sanctum has no quick exit. Leaving early takes a short mindful practice first. Weakness is never one tap away. WHY THE COMMITMENT MATTERS Willpower fails when you need it most. Cutting screen time is a decision your phone makes you re-take every minute. Sanctum moves the choice to before you start, then holds the line. HOW IT WORKS Choose a duration. Press start. Sanctum will block apps system-wide until the timer runs out. Leaving early means completing a short reflection first, and by then the urge has usually passed. No categories, no decisions once you begin. Need one app for a few minutes? Unblock it: it opens, the timer runs, and the app blocker comes back on its own. It is the simplest way to block apps you will ever use. BLOCK APPS ON AUTOPILOT Beyond one-off locks, Sanctum can block apps and cut screen time on its own: - Schedules. Block apps automatically on the days and hours you choose. Work mornings, study blocks, sleep. - Daily App Limits. Set app limits that cap screen time on the apps you pick. Shared budget or one each. When the time runs out, they close until midnight. SOCIAL MEDIA SCREEN TIME, HANDLED Social media is engineered to beat your willpower. Block social media for an hour, put social media behind daily app limits, and your screen time falls without a fight. BUILD BETTER PHONE HABITS Every lock you finish and every urge you resist scores five traits: Stillness, Discipline, Restraint, Grounding and Breath. Watch them rise as your screen time falls. WHEN AN URGE HITS Reach for a blocked app and Sanctum meets you with a moment, not a wall: a short practice. Sit in stillness, breathe it out, walk it off, or write the urge down and watch it burn. By the time it is done the pull is usually gone, and the stress with it. YOU'RE NEVER TRAPPED Calls, the camera and the essential system apps iOS protects keep working, so you can reach someone anytime. Sanctum adds friction to a habit, never a lock on your life. BEAUTIFUL LIVING THEMES Sanctum is built to be experienced. New immersive scenes arrive regularly, each one transporting you into a living natural world, with a large ambient clock that helps calm the mind. Lock your screen time and your phone becomes a beautiful desk clock with calming sleep sounds, not a thing to escape. WHO IT'S FOR - Anyone whose focus is stolen by social media and doomscrolling - ADHD and executive-function struggles, where "just put it down" never works - Anyone whose screen time keeps climbing no matter which app blocker they try PRIVATE BY DESIGN Offline-first and ad-free. No account, no cloud. Sanctum is built on Apple's own Screen Time framework, and your screen time data never leaves your device. FEATURES - Uncompromising system-wide screen time blocker. No pause, no snooze, no one-tap exit - Block apps right now, on a schedule, or behind daily app limits - Hard Mode: the strictest app blocker setting, no unblocks until the timer ends - Timed unblocks: one app opens for a few minutes, then the block returns by itself - Block social media on the days and hours you set - Cap screen time per app with shared or individual app limits - Streaks, medals and five traits that track your progress - Live Activity: your countdown and your unblock, right on your Lock Screen Sanctum is the screen time app for people done negotiating. Block apps, set daily app limits, tame social media, and watch your screen time finally drop. Not just an app blocker. Your sanctuary from your screen.
