The strictest focus app on iPhone. Block distracting apps, enforce deep work, build real discipline, no willpower needed. StrictBlock turns off distraction so your focus mode actually holds. Unlike apps with soft limits and easy overrides, StrictBlock means it: once a session starts, apps are locked at the system level until time is up. No temptations. No way back in. WHY STRICTBLOCK WORKS: Most blockers make it easy to cheat. StrictBlock doesn't. That's the point, and it's why people who failed with every other app finally build real habits here. Real discipline doesn't come from reminders. It comes from removing the option entirely. StrictBlock uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block apps and websites at the system level. No workarounds through Settings. No sneaking back via the browser. When your session starts, distraction disappears. When it ends, everything returns. HOW THE BLOCKING WORKS: Select your apps to block. Social media, games, whatever pulls you away. StrictBlock removes them from your screen for the entire session. They can't be opened, switched to, or accessed in any mode. System-level blocking. Not a suggestion. FEATURES: • Block any app or website during focus sessions • Focus Timer with Pomodoro mode built in • Home Screen Widgets: see your streak without opening the app • Stats and Streaks: measure discipline, not just time • Emergency Override, visible but accountable BUILD YOUR STREAK: The streak tracker isn't about hours logged. It's about showing up. Every completed session adds to your count. Miss a day and it resets. That number becomes your accountability system. Users who hit 7 days straight say it becomes the habit, not the app. Cut mindless social scrolling, even for 25 minutes, and your defaults start to shift. You stop reaching for your phone. You get into deep work faster. The change is gradual, then it sticks. WHO IS IT FOR? Students: Study blocks that actually hold. Block social media and games, get to work. When the timer ends, everything comes back. No willpower required. Professionals: Deep work without the distraction tax. Block Slack, news, and social apps during peak hours. Protect your focus like a meeting that can't move. ADHD: External structure in place of internal willpower. StrictBlock gives the ADHD brain a hard boundary. Not a gentle suggestion. A system-enforced constraint. Users with ADHD consistently call it the first blocker that actually works. Digital Detox: Reclaim hours lost to social media. One session a day. Track your progress. Watch the streak grow. FREE VS. PRO Free: 5 focus sessions/day, limited apps. Pro: Unlimited sessions, unlimited apps, full stats. Start building the discipline you keep putting off. --- Learn more: https://strictblock.com Terms of Use: https://strictblock.com/terms Need help?: help@paulcontre.com EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://strictblock.com/privacy

Version 2.1 brings meaningful improvements across the entire app. Blocking is more reliable, focus sessions are smoother. We've also fixed several stability issues and improved performance throughout. Thank you to everyone who reported bugs and shared feedback, this release is built on it.
