About Focus App Blocker: StrictBlock
Your phone is built to keep you scrolling. StrictBlock is built to help you stop. Pick the apps that pull you in, start a focus block, and they stay locked until you're done. No willpower contests, no "just one more minute". It's the dopamine detox that turns your iPhone into a dumb phone when you need it, and back again when you don't. WHY PEOPLE USE STRICTBLOCK • Block distracting apps with Apple's Screen Time, so blocks are hard to skip • Schedule focus time for mornings, study sessions or phone-free evenings • Pomodoro-style focus blocks with a goal for each one • Streaks that build a real habit, and trophies you can share • See the hours you take back, every week • Home screen widgets for your streak and today's focus BUILT FOR Students cramming for exams. People doing deep work. Anyone trying to quit doomscrolling, cut social media, or simply be present with the people around them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No account needed. No data sold. FAIR PRICING Start free. Pro is available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase, for a fraction of what other app blockers charge. Eligible new subscribers can try Pro free for 7 days. Local prices and offer eligibility are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
