iPhone
Your phone, boring on purpose. Block the apps that eat your day, set real screen time limits, and take your attention back. No second phone required.
Basic Mode turns your iPhone into a dumb phone — on your schedule.
Pick a mode — Work, Night, Family, Deep Reset, or your own — choose which apps, categories, and websites go quiet, and start a session. Distractions get blocked. Essentials like calls, messages, maps, and camera stay available.
• Saved modes for work, sleep, family time, and deeper resets
• Block by app, category, or website — you decide
• Timeboxed emergency unlock when you truly need it
• Always reversible — restore app access anytime
• 100% private: no account, no tracking, everything stays on your device
Built on Apple's Screen Time. Basic Mode is free to use. Pro is an optional subscription that unlocks scheduled sessions, Commitment Lock, and custom modes. Cancel anytime.

A new living field that shifts as your session runs, so your focus is something you can see at a glance.
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus a Live Activity and Dynamic Island — your session stays visible without opening the app.
Redesigned Activity screen with a growth ring, a session-complete summary, and smoother schedules.
Faster and steadier throughout: much lower GPU cost and no more flicker when switching tabs.
