About App Blocker & Focus: Quell

Reclaim your focus. Quell shields distracting apps in under a minute — and unlike every other blocker, your data never leaves your iPhone. No accounts. No tracking. No backend. Apple's Screen Time technology keeps even your app choices private. HOW IT BLOCKS • Always blocked — apps stay shielded while the rule is on • Daily limit — apps lock once you cross your minutes for the day • Schedule — block during the hours you choose, overnight windows included • Limit + schedule combined (Premium) — blocked the whole window AND once your all-day budget runs out • Weekday picker — block on school nights, free on weekends • Websites too — blocked categories also cover their web versions A BLOCK SCREEN THAT KEEPS YOU HONEST When you open a blocked app, a custom shield steps in with a motivational nudge — or your own message (Premium). Need a moment? Take a 15-minute break: one per day for free, three with Premium. Strict mode removes the break button entirely and locks the rule against editing while it's blocking. Commit and forget. BUILT-IN MOTIVATION • Focus streak — counts the days since you started focusing; it only grows • Milestone celebrations at 3, 7, 14, 30 days and beyond, up to a full year — share your streak in one tap • Achievements — 18 badges for streak and blocking milestones • Optional block-end reminder — one heads-up when a scheduled block ends and your apps unlock, and nothing else, ever • Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with live status • Usage stats (Premium) — total screen time and most-used apps • Custom themes (Premium) — five palettes, whole-app re-skin FREE FOREVER One real rule, free forever — no countdown, no card. Want more? Try Premium free for 7 days: unlimited rules, combined limits + schedules, strict mode, three daily breaks, your own shield message, stats and themes. Cancel anytime. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE There is no server. Nothing to leak, nothing to sell. Apple's FamilyControls framework means we can't even see which apps you picked. Optional iCloud backup keeps your streak and rules safe in your own private iCloud — still no account, ever. Requires iOS 26.4 or later and Screen Time permission (handled entirely on-device by Apple).
