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
Most apps tell you what to block. Jolt tells you if blocking is actually working.
Attention Score - New
New One number. Every day. Your Focus, Sleep, and Discipline combined into a single measure of how well your digital life is working together. It rises when all three do. It won't let one good habit carry the weight of two bad ones. Watch it move over 7, 14, 30 days - the direction it goes is the most honest feedback you'll get on whether anything is actually changing.
Discipline Score - New
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 who see this number for the first time are surprised by it. That's exactly the point.
Focus Score
A daily measure of how well you avoided distractions, how deeply you worked during blocked periods, and how close you got to your screen time goals. Not just whether you showed up - whether you stayed.
Sleep Score
Your last pickup before bed. Your first reach in the morning. How many times you interrupted your own sleep in between. Tracked, scored, and shown back to you every day so you can do something about it.
——
SET LIMITS THAT ACTUALLY HOLD
Duration Limit
Set a daily time cap on any app - 30 minutes on Instagram, 20 minutes on YouTube. When it hits, it locks. No snooze, no five more minutes, no exceptions.
Open Limit
Set a cap on how many times you can open an app each day. Three opens on Twitter. Five on Reddit. Once you've hit the number, it's done - regardless of how long each session was.
Blocking Modes
Three levels of friction between you and a blocked app.
Easy: a breathing pause before the app opens - a moment between impulse and action.
Medium: a mental challenge, rapid taps or a timed reaction. Your brain earns the unlock.
Hard: nothing gets through. No bypass, no workaround.
Hard Mode
Set it once. Can't edit it, can't delete it, can't override it until the next day. Your morning self makes the rules. Your evening self lives with them.
——
FOCUS SESSIONS
Focus Sessions
Block every distracting app for a set window - deep work block, exam session, meeting hour. 20+ pre-built templates or build your own from scratch. Pick your apps, set your time, start. Everything else disappears until you're done.
Quick Sessions
One tap. Immediate block. Zero setup. For the moments when you need to focus right now - not after opening a menu, not after configuring anything. Tap once. It starts.
——
CLOSE EVERY LOOPHOLE
Sleep Schedule
Set your bedtime and wake-up time. Every distracting app locks for that window automatically. You choose which essentials stay on - everything else is gone until morning, with full tracking of every pickup in between.
Accountability Partner
A real person - a friend, a partner, a colleague - who sees your screen time and must approve every override you attempt. Not an algorithm. A human being who knows what you're trying to do and will actually push back.
GPS Blocking
Set your office, library, or gym as a location. The moment you arrive, Jolt activates automatically. No setup, no remembering. The environment does what willpower can't.
Good Apps First
Use your reading app, your journal, your workout tracker first. Once you do, the distracting apps unlock on their own. Focus becomes the price of entry.
Block 18+
One toggle. Every adult site and app - off.
——
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.
Réponse du développeur
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. It lets you start a one-time focus session for as long as you need, without creating a recurring schedule.If you need any other help or have any questions, feel free to email us at git@thejoltapp.com. 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 just got meaningfully better - and your Attention
Score will show it.
This update is built on thousands of pieces of user
feedback. Every major complaint we heard has been
addressed. Every rough edge has been smoothed.

FASTER, SMOOTHER ONBOARDING
Getting into Jolt is now faster and more personal from
the first screen. Fewer taps, less waiting - and Jolt
now asks the right questions upfront so your Focus,
Sleep, and Discipline Scores are calibrated to you
from day one. Not generic benchmarks. Numbers that
reflect where you actually stand. Your first block is
ready in under a minute.
——
UNDER THE HOOD
Blocking is more reliable. The app is faster. Score
calculations are more accurate - which means your
Attention Score, Focus Score, Sleep Score, and
Discipline Score now reflect what's actually happening,
not approximations of it. UI glitches and crashes
reported by users have been resolved.
Thousands of you told us what wasn't working.
This update is the answer.
