You know exactly what you should be doing right now. So does your phone - and it's betting you'll check it anyway. Jolt is built for people who are done losing that bet.

KNOW IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY IMPROVING
Attention Forecast - New Before your day starts, Jolt tells you how it's likely to go. One predictive score built from last night's sleep, your 28-day usage trend, your streak, and your blocking discipline.
Attention Score: One number. Every day. Your Focus, Sleep, and Discipline combined. It rises when all three do - it won't let one good habit carry the weight of two bad ones. Watch it over 7, 14, 30 days. The direction it moves is the most honest feedback you'll get.
Discipline Score: The gap between the limits you set and the limits you actually held. Not whether you blocked Instagram - whether you stayed blocked when it counted. Most people are surprised by this number. That's the point.
Focus Score: Most people think they're focused. The Focus Score measures whether they actually were - how much deep work you completed, how many sessions you finished without quitting, how little you touched your phone mid-session. The score doesn't round up.
Sleep Score: Your last pickup before bed. Your first reach in the morning. How many times you interrupted your own sleep. Tracked, scored, shown back to you every day.
——
SET LIMITS THAT ACTUALLY HOLD
Duration Limit: Daily time cap on any app - 30 minutes on Instagram, 20 on YouTube. When it hits, it locks. No snooze, no exceptions.
Open Limit: Cap how many times you open an app each day. Three opens on Twitter. Five on Reddit. Once you've hit the number, it's done.
Blocking Modes: Easy: a breathing pause before the app opens. Medium: rapid taps or a timed challenge - your brain earns the unlock. Hard: nothing gets through.
Hard Mode: Set it once. Can't edit, delete, or override it until the next day. Your morning self makes the rules. Your evening self lives with them.
——
FOCUS SESSIONS
Focus Flights - New: You don't start a timer anymore. You book a flight.
Pick a destination reachable in your focus window. Choose your seat: First Class seals the cabin - no early exit. Business puts a challenge between you and the door. Economy lets you tap out.
Board, take off, block your apps. Land and it logs as a completed flight. Quit early and it goes down as a crash - distance credited for how far you got. Every flight lives in your Flight Wallet.
Focus Sessions Block every distracting app for a set window - deep work, exam session, meeting hour. 20+ templates or build your own. Everything else disappears until you're done.
Quick Sessions: One tap. Immediate block. Zero setup. Focus right now, not after configuring anything.
——
CLOSE EVERY LOOPHOLE
Sleep Schedule: Set your bedtime and wake-up time. Every distracting app locks automatically. You choose which essentials stay on - everything else is off until morning, with full tracking of every pickup.
Accountability Partner: A real person who sees your screen time and must approve every override. Not an algorithm. A human who will actually push back.
GPS Blocking: Set your office, library, or gym. The moment you arrive, Jolt activates. The environment does what willpower can't.
Good Apps First: Use your journal, reading app, or workout tracker first. Once you do, the distracting apps unlock. Focus becomes the price of entry.
Block 18+ One toggle. Every adult site and app - off.
Shield Customisation - New: The screen that blocks you now looks how you want it. Choose a persona or build your own: custom text, colors, and icon. Turn on Randomized Experience, and it changes every time a block fires.
——
PRIVACY FIRST: All blocking runs locally via Apple's Screen Time API. No personal data leaves your device.
Download free. Block your first app in 30 seconds.

I’ve been using this app for about 2 weeks now and there are real benefits and it feels good to be finally working on my phone addiction. The gamification of it all helps and the trackers are easy to understand. Some of the bugs however are unbearable. 1. When checking an app on a break, it takes you into jolt to set up how long the break is. However there are times where it will just freeze my phone and crash. This is the biggest issue2. Data does not update until I click in, so my focus score will say 100% and then I check and all of a sudden it’s down to 80%. Not that big of a deal, minor inconvenience. Overall, this app is extremely useful and the pro version is most certainly worth it.

Really Good

I just did the premium subscription and I can already tell it is going to be well worth the money. I do wish there was a way to do an unscheduled session. Like if something lands in front of you that you need to focus on you can just start a session that lasts an hour or two without having to create a recurring schedule.
Developer Response
Hi! Thank you so much for subscribing to Premium-we're really glad to hear you're enjoying the app already! 😊Good news: we actually have exactly this feature! It's called Focus Session You can find it in the bottom-right corner of the home screen.

We're always happy to help!
Exactly what I want

I’ve been looking for what this app has for so long. I’m able to set limits to how many time I can open my distracting apps, and when I open the app I get to choose how much time I actually want to spend on an app. Once you’re done, there’s a cool down period, so I can’t get around it until I wait a while. Best mechanics I’ve seen in these apps. It’s really helped me spend less time on my phone. Highly recommend!
Great app to manage screen time

I’ve tried many screen time apps before, but this one actually made a difference. It’s helped me become more mindful of my phone use and build focus over time. I’ve noticed a big improvement in how I manage my time and get things done. Definitely worth using if you want to be more productive and present.
Jolt 2.0.2 is here. Meet your new focus bouncers.

BOUNCER MODE - New
Your focus can now have a security team.
Choose a location, select the apps you want to keep out, and assign one of three bouncer levels: Easy, Medium, or Hard.
Whenever you enter your chosen area, your bouncer steps in and keeps your distracting apps outside. No matter what you want to do in that space, your blocked apps stay blocked - so you can stay distraction-free.
Easy Mode:
A gentle reminder to stay focused. Your bouncer keeps distractions out while giving you a lighter, more flexible experience.
Medium Mode:
More enforcement. Your bouncer makes it harder to give in when distractions try to get through.
Hard Mode:
No distractions. Maximum enforcement for when you really need to lock in.
Pick your place. Pick your apps. Pick your bouncer.
Then enter the zone and focus.
