What makes AppBlock different

Designed to remove loopholes.

True hard stops

Enforced daily limits using Apple Screen Time APIs—when time is up, access is blocked.

No “Ignore for 15 minutes”

No snooze, no grace period, no override buttons. Limits stay in effect until reset.

Minimal & fast setup

Pick apps (or categories), set a daily limit, done. Clean UI, no complexity.

On-device only

No accounts, no tracking. Your usage decisions stay on your device.

Break real habits

Ideal for reducing social media overuse and enforcing boundaries you actually keep.

Opinionated by design

If you want flexible reminders, this is not the tool. This is a strict boundary setter.

How it works

Three steps. No nonsense.

1
Select apps or categories Choose exactly what you want to limit (social, video, games, etc.).
2
Set a daily time limit Pick your boundary: 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour—whatever fits.
3
Time’s up → it’s blocked When the limit is reached, the app is blocked until the next reset.
Built for consistency

AppBlock is designed to eliminate negotiation. You set the limit once, then the system enforces it automatically.

  • No extensions or “just this once”
  • No soft reminders or popups
  • No accounts, no sign-in
  • Lightweight and private
