Description


In a world full of distractions, Monk helps you take back control. It pairs a physical tag with a powerful app to block the noise — and give you your time back.

With a single tap, you enter Monk Mode. Apps you’ve chosen get blocked. Focus kicks in. Need something more intense? Activate Deep Focus — during that time, not even your NFC tag can unlock your phone. Want total lockdown? Turn on Strict Mode to make the app undeletable and your setup unbreakable.

Whether you’re working, studying, or just trying to be present, Monk creates an environment where focus thrives.

Key Features:
• Tap your Monk to block/unblock distractions
• Customizable app groups for different modes
• Weekly & daily focus stats
• Scheduled blocks via Apple Shortcuts (e.g. “when I arrive at the library”)
• Remote blocking — lock down your phone from anywhere
• Emergency unblocks (you get 3 — use them wisely)
• Strict Mode: makes the app undeletable while active
• Optional setup for a completely unbreakable experience

Monk isn’t just about blocking apps — it’s about building better habits. It’s for people who are done negotiating with their attention. Tap in. Enter Monk Mode.
