There are those who are addicted to their phones and those who are in denial about it
Blockit helps you take back your time with focus sessions that block apps completely, and gentle interventions that make you pause before you scroll. Cut down on your screentime without shame or guilt
That's three full months, every year, lost to mindless scrolling, endless feeds, and apps designed to keep you coming back.
It's not a willpower problem. These apps are engineered to maximise the time you spend on them.
That's why we built Blockit. A free iOS app that gives you tools you can use to take back your time, without relying on willpower alone.
Everything you need to break the cycle
Blockit gives you three powerful tools to build healthier phone habits — each one designed to work with your brain, not against it.
Focus Sessions
Completely block distracting apps and websites for a set period of time. Whether it's a one-hour study session or an entire workday, Focus Sessions make sure nothing gets through until you're ready.
Gentle Interventions
Instead of blocking apps outright, interventions add a brief pause before you open them — a breathing exercise, a quick math problem, or a physical action. That small moment of friction is often all it takes to break autopilot.
Screen Time Analytics
Track your daily screen time, see weekly trends, and understand exactly how your habits are changing over time. No judgment — just clear data that shows you what's working and where to improve.
Interventions that actually work
Stop yourself from opening apps on autopilot.
Take a breath, answer a math question, look at yourself and rotate your phone to unlock apps. Try each one below to see how they feel.
A moment of calm before you scroll
When you try to open a blocked app, Blockit asks you to complete one conscious breath. A simple inhale-hold-exhale cycle that takes just 16 seconds.
That tiny pause is enough to break the autopilot. Most of the time, you'll realize you didn't actually want to open the app at all.

A quick puzzle to make you think twice
Want to open TikTok? Solve a math problem first. It only takes a few seconds, but that small bit of friction forces you to pause and ask whether you really need to scroll right now.
Choose your difficulty from a simple addition to multi-digit multiplication. The harder the problem, the more intentional the pause.

Look at yourself. Really look.
This one hits different. Before you open that app, your front camera activates and you see your own face for 10 seconds. No filter. No angle. Just you.
It sounds simple, but seeing yourself in the moment creates a powerful pause. Most people put the phone down after this one.

A physical pause to snap you out of it
Before you can open the app, rotate your phone in circles three full times. It sounds silly — and it is — but that's the point.
The physical action breaks your autopilot and makes the whole experience feel intentional. It's hard to mindlessly scroll after spinning your phone around.

Understand your habits with real data
You can't change what you don't measure. Your screentime is private and never leaves your device.
See the real cost of your screen time
Track your screen time trends over the past week or month with clear, honest data. Without the judgment. Just the numbers you need to understand your habits and measure your progress.
The lifetime projection puts it all in perspective when you see how daily hours add up over years. It is time to get your life back.
