App Blocker & Digital Detox
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
BEAT PHONE ADDICTION — YOUR BRAIN WILL THANK YOU
Awaytime is the screen time blocker that makes quitting mindless scrolling feel like a game. Set your limits, block distracting apps, and watch your personal Brain Decay avatar heal as you reclaim your attention.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Choose which apps to block — social media, games, news, or anything pulling your focus
2. Set your schedule — work hours, study sessions, bedtime, or custom intervals
3. Watch your brain avatar — it visually decays the more you scroll, and heals when you stay focused
4. Build streaks — track your progress and unlock achievements as you build healthier habits
THE BRAIN DECAY SYSTEM:
Unlike generic screen time apps that just show you numbers, Awaytime makes the cost of distraction visceral. Your personal brain avatar responds to your behavior in real time:
- Spend too long on blocked apps and watch your avatar deteriorate
- Stay focused and watch it recover, grow stronger, and unlock new states
- The visual feedback creates accountability that simple statistics cannot match
SMART BLOCKING:
- Scheduled blocks for work hours, study time, and sleep
- Instant one-tap lockdown when you need immediate focus
- Allowlist essential apps that should never be blocked
- Emergency bypass for genuinely urgent situations
- Gradual reduction mode that slowly decreases your allowed time
INSIGHTS AND TRACKING:
- Daily, weekly, and monthly screen time breakdowns
- See exactly which apps consume the most of your attention
- Track improvement trends over weeks and months
- Understand your usage patterns and identify trigger moments
- Compare your habits against recommended healthy benchmarks
BUILT FOR:
- Students who lose hours to social media during study sessions
- Professionals who need deep focus blocks for meaningful work
- Parents who want to model healthy screen habits
- Anyone who has tried to put their phone down and failed
- People recovering from social media or gaming dependency
Every core blocking feature is completely free. No trial periods, no paywalls on the functionality you actually need. Premium features add advanced analytics and customization, but the blocker itself works without spending a cent.
Your attention is your most valuable resource. Stop giving it away to apps designed to steal it. Download Awaytime and take back control.
