About Onstead: App Blocker, Routines

Your phone has plenty of opinions about how your day should go. Onstead gives you the last word. Wake and bed set the day. Take a routine when you want one, and pause the apps that keep eating your evenings. PAUSE THE SCROLL • Pick the apps that eat your time. Open one and Onstead pitches something better first, like a walk or ten push-ups. • Need in anyway? Hold to open. You get a few unblocks a day, and they reset when you wake up. • Pause now benches your apps for an hour, or until 6, with a countdown on your Lock Screen. • Name what you want less of, like late nights online, and your swaps line up behind it. ROUTINES THAT DON'T NAG • Morning, Day, Evening and Wind-down each get one. Do it or skip it. Nobody's keeping score. • Steal one from a library of 115. Every step has a tiny version for low-battery days. HEALTH IN ONE TAB • Snap your lunch for a calorie and protein estimate, or type it. • Last night's sleep sits up top, next to a water dial. • Log a set in one tap. The rest timer waits right there, and a new best gets its own poster. ORION • Tell Orion what's not working and it sends back a change as a card. Nothing happens until you tap it, and Undo takes one tap. • Orion can make a pause stricter. It can't make one looser, so don't bother asking. HARD MODE • Tap a card to lock it. Any NFC sticker works. No hold to open and no unblocks, so 1 AM you can't talk your way back in. • Once a day you can turn it off without the card. After that, you need the card. YOUR CALL ON THE VOICE • Clean, or Unfiltered if you'd like it to swear at your apps (never at you). Notifications stay clean, so your Lock Screen won't embarrass you in class. • One notification a day, tops. No streaks and no guilt trips. YOUR DATA Which apps you use, and for how long, never leaves your iPhone. Neither do your Apple Health readings. No ads or trackers, and we don't sell data. AI features run only after you agree, through providers that don't keep or train on your content. SUBSCRIPTION Onstead requires an account (Sign in with Apple or email) and an Onstead Pro subscription: $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. New subscribers can try it free for 14 days. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. For adults 18 and over. Requires iOS 26.5 or later. Screen Time and Apple Health are asked for once, right after you subscribe; the camera, photos, microphone and NFC only when you use them. Some features need a physical iPhone.

What’s new

Version 3.0.0 · Updated October 23, 2026

Onstead 3.0 is built around your sleep. Wake and bed set the day. The rest is up to you. New • Today is a photo of the part of the day you're in, with your next step on top. • Routines replace Plan. Morning, Day, Evening and Wind-down can each have one. Take it or skip it. Nothing gets graded. • A library of 115 routines, each step with a tiny version for slow days. • Build with Orion: say what you want and it drafts a routine. Undo is one tap. • Pause now: quiet the apps you pick for as long as you like, with a Live Activity. • Every pause offers something better instead. A walk, a call, ten push-ups. • Pulls: name what you want less of, and your swaps follow. • Hard mode works with a card. Any NFC sticker can be one. Once a day, you can switch it off without one. • Two tones. Clean, or Unfiltered if you like a swear. Notifications stay clean either way. • Body, rebuilt: a set logger, the rest timer up front, and a poster for a new best. • A water dial, and sleep first on Health. • Fewer, better notifications. One a day at most, never guilt. • Invite a buddy with one link. Removed • Plan, tasks, to-dos and timed blocks. Routines take their place. • The habit tracker, its consistency grids and "N of M" counts. Your old habits and plans stay in a read-only archive you can export. • The day score, rings and most charts. • Pausing through Shortcuts. Pauses run on Screen Time only. Your old automation keeps running quietly, and you can delete it. • Calendar access. • Two Siri shortcuts: "Add to my plan" and "Mark block done". • Partners and kudos. Inviting a buddy stays. • Support for iOS 26.2 to 26.4. Those iPhones keep Onstead 2.1. Fixed • Routine runs follow your wake, not midnight. • One shared set of unblocks a day, back when you wake. • Old reminders for retired habits and blocks are cleared. • Food scans cope with a messy answer instead of failing.
