Blobber

Read full description

Meet Blob โ€” the little paper bag that holds your noisy apps. Blobber is a screen-time app that takes your side. No guilt, no lectures. Your apps did the pulling; Blob just holds the pouch shut while you get your time back. SEAL THE NOISE โ€ข Quick Focus โ€” one tap seals your chosen apps for 25, 45 or 90 minutes โ€ข Schedules โ€” quiet hours that close the pouch every evening โ€ข Daily limits โ€” when the time's up, the pouch holds until midnight โ€ข Open limits โ€” a few deliberate visits a day instead of endless ones โ€ข Location zones โ€” arrive at the library, the pouch closes itself KEEP THE RHYTHM Every day Blob actually blocks something, your streak grows โ€” and Blob's little world grows with it. Miss a day and it's never a scolding: tomorrow starts even. A REPORT THAT DOESN'T SHAME YOU Two ways to read your day: a calm story in plain sentences, or the full data terminal with every chart. Your Screen Time data is rendered on your device by Apple's framework and never leaves it. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK โ€ข Home-screen widgets: your streak, what's sealed right now, a 30-day rhythm ledger, and Blob's Corner โ€” a tiny world that changes with your streak โ€ข Lock-screen widgets and a Live Activity countdown while a session runs โ€ข Start a session straight from Control Center BREATHE BEFORE YOU BREAK IT Opening a sealed app early takes three slow breaths with Blob first. Most of the time, that's all it takes to change your mind. YOURS, IN 15 LANGUAGES Native-quality localization, six Blob outfits, four paper palettes. FREE & PREMIUM Free keeps one shield active with core features. Premium opens unlimited rules, full report history, every preset and every Paper Radio station. Subscription, cancel anytime. Terms and privacy inside the app. Your attention is yours. Blob just helps you keep it.

About

Mutely

Your phone is quietly taking years of your life. Mutely gives them back. Mutely puts the apps that pull you in behind a deliberate 120-second hold. Long enough for the impulse to pass โ€” most of the time, you'll just put the phone down. HOW IT WORKS โ€ข Pick the apps that eat your time โ€ข Block them all day, on a schedule, or with a daily limit โ€ข Try to open one and Mutely's shield appears instead โ€ข Still want in? Hold your finger for 120 seconds. No shortcuts, no snooze button. WHY IT WORKS Willpower loses in the two seconds it takes to tap an icon. Mutely doesn't rely on willpower โ€” it adds friction exactly where the habit lives. The hold is boring on purpose. SEE WHERE THE TIME GOES Private insights show your real screen time by day, week and trend โ€” so you know what you're actually up against. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No servers. Your Screen Time data is processed entirely on your device by Apple's own frameworks โ€” we never see it, and we couldn't if we wanted to.
