iPhone
Block distractions. Stay focused. Do it together.
Impulse blocks the apps and websites that waste your time — so you can focus on what actually matters. Whether you need to study, work, or just stop scrolling, Impulse gives you real control over your screen time.
BLOCK APPS & WEBSITES
Choose the apps and sites that distract you. Block them during specific time slots or set daily usage limits. Pick your strictness level: Easy (unlock anytime), Medium (with friction), or Hard (no way out until time's up).
THREE LEVELS OF STRICTNESS
Easy: Unlock whenever you want.
Medium: Added friction to make you think twice.
Hard: Locked until time's up. No exceptions.
FOCUS MODE — NEW
Sometimes you just need to lock in. Create focus profiles — pick your apps, set a default timer, choose your difficulty — and activate them with a single tap whenever you need to concentrate. 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes. Or go unlimited. Your focus, your rules.
GROUPS — NEW
Better habits are easier together. Create a group, configure shared blocks, and invite friends or family with a simple code. Everyone gets the same rules applied to their phone. See who's keeping their streak alive and who needs a nudge. Perfect for study groups, digital detox challenges, or families who want less screen time together.
WORKS ACROSS DEVICES
Impulse is available on iPhone and as a Chrome extension. Block distractions on your phone and your browser.
PRIVATE & SECURE
No account required. No tracking. Your data stays on your device.
Download Impulse and take back your time.
