Your phone is built to keep you scrolling. Nomato is built to get you your time back. Pick the apps you can't stop opening, like TikTok, Instagram or YouTube. Nomato locks them with Apple's Screen Time, and makes it genuinely hard to sneak back in. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your apps. Only the ones you choose get locked. Calls, maps and everything else keep working. • Focus in rounds. Start a session and your apps lock until it ends. A tomato timer counts down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Set rules. Lock apps at bedtime, during work hours, or after a daily time budget runs out. • Watch your time come back. See your focus time each week and how close you are to your goal. WHY IT ACTUALLY WORKS • No one-tap "ignore". To open a locked app early you say why, then type a fresh random code by hand. Copy and paste don't work. The code gets longer every time you unlock in a day. • You can't delete it on a bad day. Turn on the uninstall guard and your iPhone won't let apps be deleted until you switch it off inside Nomato. • Pick how strict it is. Soft gives short codes, Serious makes them grow, and No mercy means no unlocks at all until the lock ends. MEET NOMATO A small, slightly judgmental tomato who's on your side. He'll cheer when you resist and sulk a little when you cave. ALSO • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with your week at a glance • Notifications when a round ends, when your break is over and when a session is complete • Sign in with Apple or Google so your setup and progress follow you to a new phone • Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian PRIVATE BY DESIGN Apple's Screen Time keeps your app list private, even from us. We never see your messages, photos or browsing, and there are no ads. PRICING Try it free for 3 days on the weekly plan ($6.99/week after the trial), or pay $10.99 once for Lifetime access. Prices may vary by country. The weekly subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before each renewal. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > your name > Subscriptions.
