Stop scrolling, start finishing. Customize what gets blocked, commit your daily limit for hours or weeks, and learn the science of focus along the way.
Your phone was supposed to be a tool. Now it owns your attention.
WeFocus puts you back in charge. Block any app, set daily caps, schedule lockouts — and when you really mean it, commit at a level you can't easily undo. Built for people who have tried "willpower" and want something that actually holds.
WHY WEFOCUS
Most screen time apps lean on willpower — the exact thing you've already run out of. WeFocus is built around commitment instead. You decide once, in a clear moment, what your day should look like, and the app keeps that promise for you.
WHAT YOU GET
— App Blocking
Block any app, any category, any time. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X, games, dating apps — whatever pulls you in. Tap the shield, they're gone.
— Scheduled Windows
Block social media before bed. Lock games during work. Keep your mornings off the internet. Your phone, on a schedule that actually holds.
— Daily Limits
Give yourself 30 minutes of Instagram. One hour of YouTube. When the timer runs out, the door closes — gently but firmly.
— Commitment Levels
Pick how serious you want to be. Start with a soft confirm. Step up to a passcode you have to type. Or commit fully with Always Block — even you can't undo it until the window ends. The strongest tool in the app, for the moments you really mean it.
— Daily Bypass Budget
You get a few bypasses each day. Spend them wisely. They reset at midnight. Every morning, a clean slate.
WHO IT'S FOR
— Students fighting TikTok during exam prep
— Knowledge workers tired of context-switching
— People doing a dopamine detox who need a system that actually holds
— Anyone whose phone has stopped feeling like a tool
— Parents who want their evenings back
HOW IT'S DIFFERENT
— Built natively on Apple's Screen Time APIs. System-level blocking, not a fragile workaround.
— Passcode mode that actually holds. No five-second escape hatch.
— No subscription required to start. Try the real features first.
— Calm, dark, out-of-the-way design. The app doesn't try to keep you on itself.
GO PRO
Unlock the full toolkit:
— Unlimited profiles, schedules, and daily limits

PRIVACY
WeFocus runs locally on your device. Your apps, your schedules, your usage — none of it leaves your phone. No backend, no tracking, no ads, no resale.

This app is fantastic, and the developer is even better!

I discovered this app through a Reddit post by the developer. I was hooked after just three days of use! It became the easiest $20 I’ve ever spent. After purchasing it, I noticed a small improvement that could be made. I quickly reached out to the developer, and he addressed my concerns in no time!

Thank you so much for your review, I really appreciate it. 🙌
Actually making a difference

I set an automation for this app to open right after my alarm goes off, so first thing in the morning I block socials. This, along with some automation I set for black and white color filters, has completely changed the way I use my phone. For now setting one hour timers is effective- the small win of successfully having my first hour of the day off socials is great. I may buy the full version for more, but we’ll see how often I want to set it!

Thank you so much for your review.
See your progress at a glance.
• Daily goal on Home — track today’s focused minutes toward your target in one tap (opens Focus analytics). • Streak strip — a 7-day view of days you hit your goal, plus your current streak. • Clearer Home layout — Block Now, Schedules, Limits, Bedtime, and Screen Time stay up front; goal and streak sit at the bottom as your daily recap. • More accurate session time — completed focus sessions now credit the full minutes you planned (e.g. 5 minutes shows as 5, not 4).
Thanks for using WeFocus — lock in.
