OpenAd: App Blocker
Focus & limit screen time
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Everyone hates ads. But the only thing worse than ads… are subscriptions.
OpenAd is a screen time app that makes distraction inconvenient on purpose. Gate the apps that eat your time, and when you reach for one, you'll watch a short ad before it unlocks.
FREE FOREVER. NO SUBSCRIPTION, EVER.
OpenAd is funded entirely by ads — everyone's least favorite thing, put to good use. No paywall, no premium tier, no monthly fee. Just a free tool that helps you take back your attention.
HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps, categories, or websites you want to gate
• Open one, and OpenAd asks you to watch a short ad first
• Watch 1 ad to unlock for 5 minutes, or 2 ads for 15
• When the time's up, it locks back automatically — no willpower required
WHY IT WORKS
The friction is the feature. Mindless opening becomes a small, deliberate choice. Over time you'll catch yourself walking away instead of watching — and OpenAd keeps score so you can watch your resistance grow.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your Screen Time stays yours. The apps you gate and how you use them never leave your device — there's no account and no server.
Take back your attention. Free, forever.
