About Serene: App & Website Blocker
Build calmer boundaries around distracting apps, websites, and adult content with Serene. Serene is an iPhone app blocker for people who want focus without shame, noise, or all-or-nothing rules. Create reusable blocks, schedule them for work, sleep, study, weekends, or custom routines, and let Apple's Screen Time controls help protect your attention. WHY SERENE - Block distracting apps, app categories, and adult web content - Create reusable schedules for work, weekdays, weekends, overnight, or custom routines - Choose Strict, Limited Access, or Allow Ignore for each block - Allow short, timed access without deleting your whole boundary - Keep your setup calm, private, and local to your iPhone BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Most blockers are all-or-nothing. Serene lets you choose the level of protection that matches the moment. Strict keeps the boundary in place until the block ends. Limited Access gives you a few short uses per day. Allow Ignore lets you continue after a deliberate confirmation. USE SERENE FOR - Social media and short-form video - Games and entertainment apps - Adult websites - Work and study focus - Sleep routines and late-night scrolling - Digital detox days PRIVATE BY DESIGN Serene uses Apple's Screen Time, Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity APIs to apply restrictions on your iPhone. Your selected apps and categories stay protected by Apple's privacy system; Serene stores only the local choices needed to apply your blocks. Create your first block and make your iPhone feel quieter today. Privacy Policy: https://llenyador.github.io/serene/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://llenyador.github.io/serene/terms.html
What’s new
Version 1.2.0 · Updated August 24, 2026
Move to unlock. Push-ups are here. When you reach for a blocked app, Serene can now ask you for a few push-ups first — counted automatically by the front camera, right on your device. • Pick 3, 5, or 10 push-ups per unlock • Reps are counted live, with nothing to tap or log by hand • Finish the set and earn 15 minutes of access • Everything stays on your iPhone. Nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded The moment you would normally start scrolling becomes a moment you move instead. Also in this update: • Blocking shields are now easy to read in dark mode • Smaller fixes and polish throughout
