App Blocker: StrictBlock

Focus Timer & Screen Time

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

During focus sessions, StrictBlock blocks specific apps. Choose what to block, set the timer, and your phone locks it down. Your phone is stealing hours from you every day. StrictBlock gives them back. Start a session. StrictBlock blocks social apps and any other distractions you choose. While the session runs, blocked apps disappear from your screen, so you cannot keep slipping back. No workarounds. No tempting shortcuts. Just you and the task. THE STREAK IS THE FEATURE Every completed session grows your streak. Miss a day and the streak resets. Users who reach 7 days in a row say it stops feeling like an app and starts feeling like a habit. That is the point. BUILT FOR ADHD. WORKS FOR EVERYONE. Most focus apps rely on reminders and willpower. StrictBlock removes the option to scroll during your session. Instead of asking you to resist temptation, it creates external structure you can trust when motivation is unreliable. WHAT YOU GET - Block any app or website during sessions - Focus timer with Pomodoro mode - Focus Profiles to save your block setup and start in one tap - Session Journal to set intentions and note what worked - Weekly Focus Report every Monday - Streak Insurance: one missed day per month, and your streak survives - Home screen widgets for quick start and visibility - Full stats, session history, and trophies StrictBlock is used for study sessions, deep work blocks, and phone detox routines without relying on willpower you do not have.
