Everything you need to focus

Flexible blocking that fits your life, from a quick focus session to an always-on schedule.

App & Website Blocking

Block any app or website in seconds. Social media, games, news. Whatever pulls you away from what matters.

Block Shorts & Reels

Block YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels without losing access to the rest of the app. Surgical precision.

Scheduled Blocking

Set blocks to activate automatically for work hours, study time, or bedtime. No manual effort required.

Screen Time Limits

Allow 30 minutes of social media per day. When you hit your limit, the block kicks in automatically.

Strict Mode

Commit to a block you can't undo. Once active, it stays on until the timer ends. No exceptions.

Usage Tracking

See exactly where your time goes. Daily and weekly reports show your habits so you can improve them.

Notification Blocking

Silence notifications from specific apps without fully blocking them. Stay reachable, not distracted.

Home Screen Widgets

Toggle blocks and check your screen time right from your home screen. Customizable themes and colors.

Pause Options

Make pausing a block intentional. Require a delay, type over text, scan a QR code, or tap an NFC tag before you can pause.

"I've tried many things but this app is the only thing that managed to break my social media addiction. I probably wouldn't have been able to get through college if it wasn't for this app. I find myself periodically coming back to it in times of overwhelm and it gets me back on track every single time."

"I enjoy the flexibility of options of this app, being able to customize my pause times, and now I use my wifi QR code on my fridge like a brick, (to make it the only override to activate social media), and these functions have always worked as intended. No easy workarounds to cheat the app."

"I just started using this, and bought it right away. It's so functional and the price is decent - compared to expensive subscriptions of others... I love that you can apply multiple criteria within the same group - e.g., it's blocked overnight + has daily limits + hourly limits."

"Best app of the category. I have tried almost all. it is simple and effective. Helped me lose years old addiction to social media. I wish the developer made a Chrome plugin as well"
