App Blocker & Focus: ARCO
Screen Time Control & Limits
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A planned day beats a busy one. ARCO puts your day plan, your habits, and an app blocker that actually holds into one app.
BLOCKED HOURS — AN APP BLOCKER ON A SCHEDULE
Pick your distracting apps once and set the hours: work, study, sleep. ARCO blocks those apps automatically, every day, and there is no ignore button. Three strictness modes decide how many short breaks you get; ending a window early costs a deliberate wait, not a tap. The block holds until the block ends — that is the whole point.
FOCUS SESSIONS
Start a session and your distracting apps lock for exactly that long. Need a moment? Take a real break — apps unlock, then lock again on their own. Strict mode removes the exit entirely. Your countdown lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
PLAN YOUR DAY IN SECONDS
Time-block tasks and habits onto one clean timeline. Mirror yesterday's structure in one tap and let recurring tasks handle the chores. Schedule Wake up and a real alarm rings at that time, even on silent.
TASKS WITH STRUCTURE
Organize tasks into projects with priorities. Capture a thought in two taps, flag what is urgent, and check things off from the same list you planned from. Done tasks stay reviewable — bring one back with a tap.
HABITS THAT STICK
Track daily habits and build streaks day by day. Timed habits run with a live timer; a monthly grid shows every day you showed up. Science says a habit takes about 66 days to lock in — ARCO counts them with you.
SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES
Insights shows your most-used apps, your focus hours, and how often the wall stopped you reaching a blocked app. Gentle check-ins tell you when an app has had your attention too long. Every Monday you get your week in review; every month, the full picture — including your ARCO score.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data stays on your iPhone. No account, no feed, nothing watching you. Screen Time permissions are processed entirely on-device — ARCO never sees which apps you use.
Stop negotiating with your phone. Plan the day, block the noise, and get your time back.
