The clock is Ticking: it's time to focus.
Willpower is overrated. Routines work better. Ticking lets you block distracting apps on a schedule: Pick the hours, pick the days, and let the rules do the hard work for you.
Need a break? Fine. But every pause makes the next one take longer. First it's 5 seconds. Then 10. Then 30. By the fifth attempt you're staring at a timer wondering if you really need to check social media again. Spoiler: you don't.
The app itself stays out of your way. Minimal, native, no visual clutter. Pick a color, pick an icon, and get back to whatever actually matters.
Features:
- Block apps for specific hours and days
- Progressive friction on breaks (they get harder to take)
- Clean, native iOS design

Ratings & Reviews
New: Break Modes
Pick the right amount of friction for each rule:
Wait Time: pause for a moment before stepping away
Intention: write why before each break
None: break instantly
You can also limit how many breaks you take per day and customize break duration options.
Plus refinements and stability improvements throughout.
