DTox vs AppBlocker

Stop bypassing your screen time limits. Tapping “Ignore Limit for 15 Minutes” is too easy. Standard blockers fail because dismissing them requires zero willpower. DTox replaces broken digital limits with the Escalation Ladder - an adaptive barrier system that makes every relapse physically costlier than the last. Want to open an addictive app? You’ll have to earn it in the physical world first. HOW THE ESCALATION LADDER WORKS Most blockers are binary - either completely open or strictly locked. DTox increases the real-world cost every time you give in: • Step 1: Take a 15-second guided CoreHaptics box-breath or state your intention. • Step 2: Walk 100 physical steps or climb 2 flights of stairs to clear brain fog. • Step 3: Leave your desk entirely, drink glass of water and take a photo of a glass. • Grace Period: Enjoy your calibrated 5-minute window - then the shield automatically re-arms. Stay off your guarded apps for the duration of your configurable memory window (1–24 hours), and the ladder resets back to Step 1. Relapse repeatedly, and the physical barrier climbs. 6 HARDWARE & SENSOR-POWERED BARRIERS • Altimeter Stair Climber: Powered by your iPhone’s altimeter. Wake up your sluggish brain by climbing 1 to 5 flights of stairs before feeds unlock. • CoreMotion Step Counter: Real-time pedometer tracking requires 50 to 500 physical steps with your device to earn screen time. • Screen-Down Flip: Proximity and motion sensors ensure your phone rests facedown on a flat surface for up to 2 minutes. • Mindful Box Breathing: Interrupt dopamine rushes with synchronized, tactile vibration sessions powered by Apple’s CoreHaptics engine. • Intention Statement: Destroy thumb muscle memory by typing a custom accountability phrase word-for-word. • Cognitive Logic & Math: Engage your prefrontal cortex with focus-demanding arithmetic challenges. TAMPER-PROOF DISCIPLINE & STRICT MODE • Strict Mode: Lock your active Focus Shields to prevent editing friction levels, lowering penalties, or deleting shields during moments of weakness. • Emergency Pass with Cooldown: Safe, intentional access for real emergencies without letting you surrender your progress. • Custom Focus Schedules: Automate continuous 24/7 enforcement or schedule deep-work routines filtered by days of the week. • Safari & Web Protection: Deep native integration with Apple’s FamilyControls to block specific apps, full categories, and web domains simultaneously. • Defended Insights Dashboard: Track local analytics via SwiftCharts - see total prevented app launches, hours reclaimed, and actual stairs climbed. 100% ON-DEVICE PRIVACY Your screen habits and guarded apps belong to you alone. • No account creation or email required • No remote servers, cloud databases, or tracking pixels • Powered 100% locally with SwiftData and native Apple frameworks FREE VS. DTOX PRO: • Free Tier: Includes 1 fully customizable Focus Shield with core barrier access. • DTox Pro (In-App Purchase): Unlocks unlimited Focus Shields, 3+ barrier rungs per ladder, and Strict Mode enforcement.

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.
