Luvia — App Blocker & Focus Take back control of your screen time. Luvia blocks the apps pulling you away from what matters — automatically, on your schedule, or whenever you need to focus right now. 5 hours. That's how long most people spend on their phone each day. Luvia helps you spend it differently. Set up schedules once. Let Luvia do the rest. Your apps get blocked automatically — during deep work, mornings, dinner, or whenever you choose. No willpower required. SCHEDULED BLOCKS Block any app on a recurring schedule. Choose the days, set the time window, and Luvia enforces it automatically — even when the app is closed. Pick from 8 ready-made presets: Deep work, Morning window, Night lock, Lunch break, Wind down, Dinner table, Study block, Weekend time. Or build your own. QUICK FOCUS Need to focus right now? Start a Quick Focus session in seconds. Choose a duration — 15 min, 25 min, 1 hour, or go indefinite — and your apps are blocked instantly. ALLOWLIST Some apps should always be accessible. Add them to your always-allowed list and they'll stay unblocked no matter what schedule is running. FOCUS SCORE See how well you stick to your schedules. Your daily Focus % shows exactly how much blocked-app time slipped through — and how many times you unblocked. SCREEN TIME GOAL Set a daily screen time goal. Track your progress throughout the day and see how close you are to hitting it. UNBLOCK (FOR EMERGENCIES) Life happens. Pause blocking for up to 15 minutes when you genuinely need it. The session picks back up automatically when time is up. PRIVATE & SECURE Luvia uses Apple's Screen Time API. All blocking runs entirely on your device. Your data never leaves your phone. Stop scrolling. Start focusing. Download Luvia — and take your time back. https://solidgrove.ai/privacy https://solidgrove.ai/terms

About

AI Voice Notes

Voice notes that write themselves — the transcript, a summary, the key points and your to-do list, all worked out on your iPhone with nothing uploaded. You had the thought in the car, and by the time you were at a keyboard it was gone. AI Notes is for catching it while you are still talking: press record, say it however it comes out, and get back something you can actually use. What you get back from every recording: • The full transcript, with the recording still there to play alongside it • A short summary written for someone who will read it instead of listening • The points worth keeping, pulled out and listed • Anything you said you would do, collected into one to-do list across every note How it works: • Press record and talk — no setup, no account, no sign-in • Words appear on screen as you speak, in whatever language you speak • Tasks from every note gather in one place, and can be sent to your calendar • A calendar view of what you recorded and when • Search across everything you have ever said • Playback at 1×, 1.5× or 2×, with a 15-second jump back • Light and dark themes, and haptics you can switch off Nothing leaves your phone. The recording, the transcription and the summary all happen on this device. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account to create, and no one else can read what you said — including us. Good to know: • Live text as you speak needs a one-off download of about 460 MB, offered inside the app. Without it, notes are still transcribed — just after you stop rather than while you talk. • The richest summaries use Apple Intelligence, which needs iOS 26 on a supported iPhone. On other devices the app still writes a summary, key points and tasks, worked out from the transcript itself. Recording is part of AI Notes PRO, and there is a free trial to begin with. Notes you have already made stay playable, readable and searchable either way. Payment will be charged to the payment method connected to your Apple Account when you confirm the initial subscription purchase.
