Finally an app I couldn’t find a way around
I feel like I’ve tried every screen time app there is and I always ended up finding some way around it… This app is different… The fact that I can’t delete it is insane to me.

When you mean it
It's time to level up.
Set a block to hold for a day, a week, or a year, and no password opens it early.
No loopholes
When a block is active, you cannot remove apps, lower a goal, or switch it off. Have a friend set a screentime password and you can't even delete the app.
Pricing
Pay once, or never.

What people are saying
Great app
This app has been the only one with completely free and reasonable to set up un-bypassable blocking… apps such as Opal require a monthly subscription to make the app unable to be deleted whereas this app can do that all completely free… Easily five stars

Incredible app. it’s simplistic and does everything it needs to while not having ads or needing a subscription. It feels amazing to finally check your social media after walking thousands of steps every day, because you know that you earned it.
