Reclaim Your Time. Interrupt Distractions.
Rewire is an app blocker and website blocker designed to help you stop doomscrolling, reduce screen time, and use your phone with intention.
Most distracting app opens aren’t a conscious choice. You unlock your phone to check one thing, then lose minutes scrolling social media, news feeds, or videos. Rewire interrupts that habit loop before a quick check becomes lost time.
Using Apple’s Screen Time controls, Rewire adds intentional friction between you and distracting apps, helping you pause, refocus, and decide what you actually want to do.
No ads. No accounts. No tracking.
HOW REWIRE WORKS
Block Apps & Websites
Create focus sessions in seconds and choose the apps and websites you want to block. Whether you’re working, studying, reading, or spending time with family, Rewire helps reduce distractions before they take over.
Interrupt Mindless Scrolling
When you open a blocked app, Rewire interrupts the habit loop and gives you a moment to stop, think, and choose intentionally.
Strict App Blocking
Remove easy ways out with timed or always-on focus sessions. Perfect for social media breaks, deep work, studying, productivity, and reducing screen time.
