One tap locks the doomscroll apps behind Apple's own shield. Schedules run your focus hours automatically — Morning Focus, No Phone at Lunch, Evening Wind Down — and honest insights show where the time actually went.
Tap once now, or let the schedule handle tomorrow.
Powered by the same Screen Time engine iOS uses itself.
Choose apps, whole categories (Social, Games…) or websites with Apple's own picker.
One tap for right now, or recurring weekday schedules that run themselves, even overnight.
Blocked apps show Anchor's shield with the session name and end time — the tap dies, the habit follows.
Screen time, pickups, notifications, per-app truth — the numbers that change behavior.
Honest tools for adults who want their attention back.
Apple's Screen Time shield, not a notification nag — blocked apps genuinely don't open.

Shield web domains alongside apps — the browser version of a blocked app isn't a loophole.
Ending a session takes a deliberate countdown — enough to break the autopilot, no shame spiral required.
Screen time, pickups, notification counts and per-app breakdowns over four weeks — system-accurate.
Apple's Screen Time model keeps usage data on your device. No account, no cloud profile.
Practical playbooks, not productivity guilt.
