BlockMyApps vs Intentions

Take back control of your screen time. BlockMyApps helps you spend less time on distracting apps without making your phone frustrating to use. Block apps instantly, create reusable Block Groups, set schedules and daily limits, and choose how difficult it should be to get access again. Whether you want to stop doomscrolling, stay focused while working, spend less time on social media, or simply build better phone habits, BlockMyApps gives you flexible controls that work around your life. QUICK BLOCK Need to focus right now? Choose the apps distracting you and block them instantly. Stop the block whenever you’re ready. BLOCK GROUPS Create groups for different situations — work, study, sleep, family time, social media, or anything else. Choose your apps once and reuse the group whenever you need it. SCHEDULES Automatically block selected apps during specific times of the day or week. Build routines without having to remember to start a block manually. DAILY USAGE LIMITS Set how much time you want to allow yourself in distracting apps each day. Once your limit is reached, BlockMyApps can step in. FLEXIBLE OR STRICT Not every block needs to feel the same. Flexible mode gives you more freedom when plans change. Strict mode adds friction before you can regain access, helping you stay committed when willpower alone isn’t enough. TEMPORARY ACCESS WITH INTENTION Sometimes you genuinely need an app. Instead of making blocking all-or-nothing, BlockMyApps can make temporary access require a deliberate action — giving you a moment to decide whether you really need to open it. DESIGNED TO FEEL SIMPLE BlockMyApps is built around one idea: powerful screen-time controls should still feel easy to understand. See what’s active, what’s coming next, manage your controls, and review your progress — without turning productivity into another complicated system. Built using Apple’s Screen Time technologies. Spend less time scrolling. Spend more time doing what you actually meant to do.

A day is a finite amount of time. Not an infinite list. Most to-do apps let you keep on adding. With no restrictions. Intentions asks how much of the day is actually yours to allocate to tasks — three hours, five, eight ‚ then shows that time filling up as you add to it. When the bar turns red, it is not a warning. It is arithmetic. HOW IT WORKS Add an intention and give it a rough length: 15 minutes, 30, an hour, or two. No sliders, no minute-by-minute entry — false precision is one of the key things that Intentions argues against. The availability bar keeps the running total so you don't have to. Swipe right when something is finished. Swipe left into the Incubator, where it waits - sorted by how long it has been waiting - until you're reading to bring it back into the day. SOMEONE TO KEEP YOU HONEST Pick a coach. Bea is warm and firm and wants you to finish. Nigel keeps score and raises an eyebrow. Ivy does not do pep talks and what simply tell you when something doesn't fit. They watch how your day is stacking up and say something about it: in the morning check-in, in the evening round-up, and when an intention has been carried for five days and needs a genuine decision rather than another chance to carry over. Rename them, swap them when you need a different personality to guide you, or hide them and go at it without guidance. WHAT ELSE DOES INTENTIONS OFFER 1. A dedicated home screen widget: what is next and how full the day is 2. Siri capture — say "Add to my Intentions" and it lands in your Incubator with the app shut 3. A morning check-in and an evening round-up, at times you choose 4. Midnight rollover — anything unfinished incubates or rolls over. Your choice 5. An options that simply refuses anything taking today past your hours 6. Backup to a single file, kept somewhere of your choosing to restore at a time that suits you NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD. NO WATCHING There is nothing to sign up for. Your intentions live on your device in a database only this app can read. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is analysed, and there is no server to lose it from. A backup goes where you send it and nowhere else.
