Vuelve: App Blocker & Focus

Block apps, take your day back

Free · In‑App Purchases

You choose how hard it is to skip a block. You set the bar while you're clear-headed, not in the middle of the craving. You unlock your phone to check the time and resurface twenty minutes later with nothing to show for it. Vuelve blocks the apps and websites eating your day, and sets screen time limits that actually hold. It doesn't ask for willpower — it gives it back. Its design has been reviewed by a neuroscientist and a psychologist: how the blocks work, how you choose the friction, how your own data is handed back to you. This is not a self-help app with scientific vocabulary painted on top. BLOCKS THAT HOLD • Block specific apps and websites, one by one. • Schedules: decide when each block kicks in — mornings, work hours, nights, weekends. • Time limits: 20 minutes of social media a day, then it's done. • Adult filter: turn on Apple's content filter with one tap. Websites are blocked in Safari and in browsers that honor Screen Time. YOU DECIDE HOW HARD IT IS TO BYPASS This is where Vuelve differs from every other blocker. You choose the friction: from a simple confirmation to obstacles that force you to stop and actually decide. You set the bar while you're clear-headed, not in the middle of the craving. BUNKER MODE A focus session you cannot leave until it ends. For when you need real depth and you already know you're going to waver. NEURO: YOUR DATA, NO GUILT Vuelve shows you the balance between the time you invest and the time that slips away, your weekly streak, and what's actually changing. Data to act on, not charts to feel bad about. WHAT VUELVE DOESN'T DO • No account, no sign-up. • No ads. • No analytics, no trackers. • No servers. There is nowhere for your data to go, because it never leaves your device. ABOUT THE SCREEN TIME PERMISSION Vuelve uses Apple's Screen Time API to block apps. Apple never tells us which apps you picked or how much you use them: the app works with sealed identifiers that only the system understands. Nothing leaves your device. Privacy policy: https://vuelveapp.github.io/legal/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Vuelve doesn't promise to cure anything. It just hands the decision back to you.
