Americans lose 80+ days a year to their phones (URMC, 2023). ScreenShark blocks the apps you can't quit — no bypass, no cheat, no extreme willpower needed. ScreenShark blocks the apps you can't quit — even when you don't want it to. Built on iOS Screen Time. Real on-device blocking, not a cheap timer overlay. The average American spends 5.4 hours a day on their phone — that's 82 days every year, or 16 years of an 80-year life (University of Rochester Medical Center, 2023). ScreenShark stops it. WHAT IT DOES Lock any app on your phone — Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, even Safari Block anywhere from 1 minutes to 7 days No bypass: once you set it, you're locked out until time's up Schedule recurring lock windows (study sessions, sleep, work hours) See exactly how much time you got back, week over week WHY IT WORKS Most "screen time" apps rely on willpower. They give you a timer, send a notification, hope you tap "stop." That's not blocking — that's reminding. ScreenShark uses Apple's Screen Time framework — the same one Apple built for parental controls — to actually shield apps from opening. The block is enforced by iOS itself. There's no settings hack, no force-quit trick. BUILT FOR YOU, NOT YOUR KID Other apps are designed to control someone else. ScreenShark is designed to control yourself. You set the rules, you commit, iOS holds you to them. WHAT YOU GET Lock any app or website on your phone Custom durations from 5 minutes to 7 days Recurring schedules (block social every weeknight 8pm-7am) Real-time stats: hours blocked, current streak, weekly chart Local notifications when blocks end All data stays on your device PERFECT FOR Beating doomscrolling at night Staying focused during deep work Breaking a phone addiction without uninstalling Replacing willpower with actual constraints SUBSCRIPTION ScreenShark Pro unlocks everything.
