Sanctum vs AppBlocker

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.

PEAK turns a focus session into a commitment your phone helps you defend. Pick what distracts you. Pick how long you want to work. Then lock in. For the length of the session PEAK uses Apple's Screen Time to shield the apps and websites you chose, so the decision to focus gets made once instead of every ninety seconds. LOCK THEM OUT Choose apps, categories and websites through Apple's own picker. PEAK never learns which ones you picked. Screen Time hands the app an opaque token and nothing else. STRICT MODE Strict mode holds the session closed. Quitting early takes a deliberate confirmation rather than a reflex tap, so a dull moment does not cost you the block. PRESETS THAT FIT THE WORK SPRINT runs 25 minutes on and 5 off. DEEP WORK runs 50 and 10. LOCK IN runs 90 and 15. Build your own when none of those match the task. A DAILY TARGET Set a target in minutes and watch the day fill in. Progress keeps your completed sessions, your streak and an honest record of where the hours went. ROUTINES Schedule recurring sessions by weekday and time. The morning block starts itself. HOLD TO COMMIT Starting a session takes a press and hold rather than a tap. Small friction, deliberately placed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sessions, presets and routines stay on your device. There is no account, no login and no cloud sync, and your Screen Time selection never leaves your phone. PEAK PRO PEAK is a subscription app. Full access needs PEAK Pro, an auto-renewing subscription available as a weekly or a yearly plan. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
