About App Blocker - Grindly
The app blocker that actually holds the line. A Screen Time limit you can dismiss in one tap isn't really blocking anything. Grindly is the app blocker that physically locks the apps wrecking your focus — until you've done what matters. No willpower required. Just lock in. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps to block — socials, games, whatever hijacks your focus • Set your daily non-negotiables — gym, deep work, reading… • Finish them to unlock, and watch your streak grow A REAL BLOCKER, NOT JUST A TIMER Grindly uses Apple Screen Time to actually shield your apps. Run a hard Lock-In Session (a focus timer you can't casually dismiss) or a task-gate that keeps apps locked until your non-negotiables are done. Everything runs on-device and private — your app selections are never readable by us. BLOCK APPS, BUILD STREAKS • A "don't break the chain" streak grid • Current and best streak, completion rate, and a discipline score • Locked-in hours plus weekly and monthly momentum BUILT TO BEAT DISTRACTION Doomscrolling. Phone addiction. Exam grind. A real dopamine detox. Whatever you're locking in for, Grindly keeps you accountable — and makes showing up feel good. HONEST PRICING Grindly Free is genuinely useful: a block profile, your non-negotiables, and the full lock-in and streak loop. Go Pro for unlimited tasks and block profiles, multiple Lock-In Sessions, advanced discipline analytics, optional Anti-Cheat photo check-ins, an AI discipline coach, and premium themes. Simple monthly or annual pricing with a clear free trial — no predatory weekly billing, cancel anytime. Block the apps. Lock in. For real.
