Downtime: App & Web Blocker

Screen Time & Focus

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

Block distracting apps on your schedule. Private by design, simple to set up, and built with Screen Time. Downtime helps you take control of your screen time by blocking distracting apps and websites on your schedule. Set a daily schedule, choose which apps to block, and let Downtime handle the rest. When your focus time starts, selected apps are shielded automatically. When it ends, everything goes back to normal. KEY FEATURES - Schedule-based blocking: Set start and end times for your focus periods - Choose what to block: Pick specific apps, app categories, or websites using Apple's built-in picker - Per-day scheduling: Choose which days of the week to activate blocking - Overnight support: Set schedules that span midnight (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM) - Automatic enforcement: Blocking activates and deactivates on schedule, even when the app is closed - Shield screens: Blocked apps show a customizable shield overlay instead of launching SIMPLE AND PRIVATE Downtime uses Apple's official Screen Time APIs to manage app access. All data stays on your device — nothing is sent to any server, ever. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Downtime is free to use with one blocking rule. If you want multiple rules for different routines, unlock Downtime Pro with a one-time purchase. Pay once, use forever. No subscriptions.
