**FocusBlock โ€” Real Focus, Not Just Good Intentions** You don't need another app that hopes you'll behave. You need one that actually blocks the apps pulling you away from what matters โ€” and then gets out of your way. FocusBlock uses Apple's own Screen Time and Family Controls frameworks to lock distracting apps, categories, and websites during the sessions you set. No login. No account. No backend server anywhere. Everything โ€” your schedules, your stats, your streaks โ€” stays on your device. **Why FocusBlock is different** Most focus apps fall into two camps: gamified apps that feel fun for a week and then get ignored, or friction apps that just slow you down for a few seconds before you scroll anyway. FocusBlock gives you both a gentle option and a real one: - Start a session with one tap, or build a recurring schedule for Study, Work, Sleep, or Morning routines - Block specific apps, entire categories, or distracting websites in Safari - Whitelist the apps you actually need โ€” calls, messages, docs โ€” so blocking never gets in the way of real work - Turn on **Strict Mode** when you know future-you will try to bail early - Use **Emergency Unlock** for genuine emergencies, without making it the easy button for every other moment **Built for how you actually focus** - Pomodoro timer and Deep Work mode for sustained sessions - Custom and recurring schedules that run automatically - Break reminders and focus reminders that nudge without nagging - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities, and Shortcuts integration - Apple Watch support so you can check a session without touching your phone **See your progress, not just your screen time** Daily, weekly, and monthly reports show real patterns โ€” not just a number, but where your time actually goes. Build focus streaks, track goals, and watch a productivity score that reflects effort, not gamified busywork. **Who it's for** Students cramming for exams. Remote workers guarding deep work blocks. Parents setting healthy limits for the family. Anyone who's tried to quit doomscrolling with willpower alone and needs a system that holds when willpower doesn't. **Privacy, actually** No account creation. No data collection. No servers. Your Screen Time data belongs to your device โ€” that's not a slogan, it's the architecture. **One fair price** No surprise trial-to-subscription conversion. No feature-creep paywalls added after you've already paid. Just a tool that does what it says. Download FocusBlock and start your first focus session in under a minute.

Countpad is a small, fast inventory tracker for people who just need the numbers to be right. Open it, add your items, and count. Tap + or โˆ’ straight from the list, or tap the number to type it in when there are 143 of something. That is the whole idea. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข Count from the list โ€” increase or decrease without opening a detail screen โ€ข Type a quantity directly when tapping would be slower โ€ข Scan a barcode to jump to an item, or to create one with the barcode attached โ€ข Search instantly across name, barcode, category and unit โ€ข Filter by category, or by what is in stock and what has run out โ€ข Create a report in one tap โ€” a clean PDF and a CSV, ready to share or print โ€ข Back up everything to one portable file, and restore it later โ€ข Add a photo when two items look alike, and a unit cost when you want the report to total it FREE, WITH NO ITEM LIMIT Every feature above is free, for any number of items, with no time limit. Counting, search, barcode scanning, PDF and CSV export, backup and restore โ€” all of it, from the first item. The free version is supported by ads. One payment of USD 9.99 removes the ads for good. It unlocks nothing, because nothing is locked. COUNT TOGETHER (OPTIONAL) Shared inventory lets several people count one stock list at the same time, each on their own phone, with every change appearing on everyone else's screen. Two people counting the same shelf add up โ€” the app never lets one person's count overwrite another's. One subscription of USD 29.99/month covers you and everyone you invite with your code. Your staff join at no extra charge, on their own Apple Accounts, and they see no ads while they are in it. This is the only part of Countpad that needs a plan, because it is the only part that runs on a server. WORKS WITHOUT A CONNECTION Counting, search, filters, reports, export and backup all work in airplane mode, in a stockroom with no signal, in a basement. Your inventory stays on your device unless you choose to share it โ€” and if you do, it goes to your shared inventory and nowhere else. The ads never see what you are counting. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and start counting. An account is only ever created if you switch on the shared inventory, and you can delete it from inside the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings after purchase.
