Block distracting apps with daily limits, schedules and strict mode. 100% private — no accounts, no tracking. Free to start.
Block distracting apps in under a minute — and keep everything on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no server. Quell runs on Apple's Screen Time, so even your app choices stay private.
A REAL BLOCK, YOUR RULES
• Always on, a daily limit, or a schedule — overnight windows and weekdays included
• Websites too: a blocked category covers its web versions
• Open a blocked app and a shield steps in — Quill the hedgehog, a nudge, or your own message (Premium)
• Need a moment? One 15-minute break a day free, three with Premium
• Strict mode removes the break button and locks the rule while it blocks
STAY MOTIVATED
• A focus streak that only grows, with milestones from 3 days to a full year
• 18 achievements, shareable in one tap
• Home and Lock Screen widget: what's blocked now, your streak, and Quill
• Usage stats and five themes (Premium)
TRY PREMIUM FREE
14 days free: unlimited rules, limit + schedule combined, strict mode, three breaks a day, your own shield message, stats and themes. Cancel anytime. And one real rule stays free forever — no countdown, no card.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There is no server, so there is nothing to leak and nothing to sell. Optional iCloud backup keeps your streak and rules in your own iCloud — still no account, ever.
Requires iOS 18 or later and Screen Time permission.
