About Focus Fence: App Blocker
Block apps by location. Set it and forget it. Focus Fence automatically blocks distracting apps and websites when you arrive at work, school, the gym, or home. Choose the places where you want to focus, and let your location activate your rules. CHOOSE YOUR PLACES Find a location on the map and adjust the boundary to fit. Your location rule turns on when you enter and stops applying when you leave. Add a schedule if you only need a fence during certain hours. CHOOSE WHAT TO BLOCK Block selected apps, websites, and categories, or allow only the essentials while a fence is active. Optional one-time app-to-website links let you include a service's website whenever its linked app is selected in a block-list mode. You choose the association, and can turn linked website blocking off for each mode. YOUR IPHONE AND IPAD, YOUR CHOICE Keep a separate setup on each device, or opt in to iCloud setup sync. Share modes, locations, schedules, typed website lists, and protection settings using the same iCloud account. Select blocked apps, grant permissions, and enable imported locations separately on each device. Each device applies its own rules based on its own location.
