About

Mola

Read full description

Mola (MO-lah) is Turkish for "a break" — and that's the whole idea. Not a prison for your phone. A break for your brain. When you can't stop reaching for the same few apps, Mola puts them behind a calm shield: one tap, and they're gone for as long as you choose. No willpower required, no shame, no gimmicks. ONE TAP, A REAL BREAK Start a break in a second — 15 minutes, an hour, however long you need. Your distracting apps go quiet while a gentle countdown runs on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Come back when the time's up. IT JUST WORKS This is the whole point. Mola's blocks hold through app restarts, reboots, and the moments you try to sneak back in. Reliability is the product: when you set a break, it stays set. YOUR LEVEL OF SERIOUS Pick how firm you want Mola to be: - Gentle — end the break anytime. - Balanced — a short calm-down wait before you can quit, so the impulse passes. - Strict — no early exit until the time is up. (Premium) SCHEDULE YOUR FOCUS Set recurring blocks for the hours that matter — work mornings, study time, the hour before bed. They run on their own; you never have to open the app. One schedule is free; Premium unlocks as many as you want. A SHIELD, NOT A PRISON Open a blocked app and you get a warm "Mola time. Your feed can wait." — not a scolding. Deleting Mola always lifts your blocks. We never play warden, and we never enter the app-trapping arms race. SEE YOUR TIME COME BACK Every break adds to your reclaimed time. The home screen shows today and this week at a glance; Premium history charts your last two weeks and your all-time total. Gains, never streaks — miss a day and nothing breaks. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. Mola is built entirely on Apple's on-device Screen Time framework — we literally can't see which apps you block or how you spend your time. FREE & PREMIUM Free forever: unlimited one-tap breaks, one schedule, and this week's reclaimed time. Mola Premium unlocks unlimited schedules, Strict mode, and full history & insights. 3-day free trial; cancel anytime. Take your time back.
