About UpHill: App & Web Blocker
Your phone should help you move forward—not quietly take over your time. UpHill is an app and website blocker and focus timer built on Apple’s Screen Time controls. Set boundaries around distracting apps, protect deep work, and turn focused effort into a climb you can see. When a focus block is active, your climber pushes a boulder uphill. As focused time builds, the climb moves forward. Instead of relying on willpower alone, you get structure, friction, and visible momentum. BLOCK THE DISTRACTIONS Choose the apps, app categories, and websites that pull you off track. UpHill uses Apple’s Screen Time controls to block your selections according to the rules you set and during your focus sessions. BUILD RULES THAT RUN AUTOMATICALLY Create repeating schedules for the days and times when your attention matters most. Add daily time limits to keep specific distractions from taking over the rest of your day. CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL OF COMMITMENT Easy Mode is free and allows short, intentional breaks. UpHill Pro unlocks Hard Mode, where regular breaks are disabled and you get one 5-minute emergency unlock per day. FOCUS ON DEMAND Need to get something done right now? Start a manual focus timer, choose the duration, and select what to block. Ending a session early requires a deliberate press and hold, turning an impulse into a conscious choice. TURN FOCUS INTO MOMENTUM Review your streak, completed focus blocks, focused time, climb history, and progress toward higher ridges. Each completed session gives you a clear record of showing up. KEEP PROGRESS IN VIEW Follow an active climb with a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and, on supported iPhones, the Dynamic Island. Add the Daily Discipline widget for a fresh reminder on your Home Screen. GET A NUDGE WHEN YOU NEED ONE Optional alerts can check in after an extended stretch in selected distracting apps, helping you notice when a quick visit has turned into a long one. OPTIONAL ADULT-SITE FILTERING Enable filtering for adult websites in browsers and web views compatible with Apple’s Screen Time controls. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Apple provides UpHill with privacy-preserving tokens for the apps and websites you select. UpHill does not receive the contents of your apps, messages, or private browsing history. No UpHill account is required. Use UpHill to study, work, read, create, train, build routines, wind down, and take back control of your attention. Less scrolling. More progress. Keep climbing. UpHill Pro is available through optional auto-renewing subscriptions. Available plans, offers, and trial eligibility may vary. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
