App blocker for iPhone · iOS 18+

You don't need more willpower. You need a phone that holds the line.

Indistractable is a commitment device for your attention. Pick the apps that matter, lock your phone into a focus session — and unlike Screen Time, you can't just tap "ignore" to get back in.

Go on — try to end it early.

The problem

Screen Time has an ignore button. That's the whole problem.

Every limit you set at your strongest is dismissed with one tap by you at your weakest. Indistractable removes the tap. Quitting a session is always possible — it just takes an act of intention instead of a flick of the thumb.

How it works

Three steps between you and a quieter phone

STEP 1

Build a mode

Save a set of the only apps you want available — just your maps, music, and messages, say. Block single apps or whole categories at once.

STEP 2

Lock in

Start a session and everything else is blocked, phone-wide. Or schedule sessions to start on their own — mornings, work hours, bedtime.

STEP 3

Unlock on purpose

When the session ends, you're free. To leave early, you'll need your QR code, your partner's approval, or an emergency unlock.

Three ways out

Every exit is a decision, not a reflex

You're never trapped — that would be a jail, not a tool. But every way back in asks something of you first.

WALK FOR IT

Scan your QR code

Stash a code across the room, in the kitchen, or in the garden shed. Quitting means physically getting up — and most of the time, the walk is enough to change your mind. Prefer a tap? Use an NFC tag instead.

ASK FOR IT

Ask your partner

Choose an accountability partner who approves unlocks from their own phone. Hard to doomscroll when someone you respect has to sign off on it first.

SPEND ONE

Emergency unlock

Life happens. Keep a limited few emergency unlocks for when you truly need out — no questions asked, but the counter goes down.

Strictness tiers

Decide how hard it is to quit — before you start

Set each mode to the level of friction you actually want. Easy mornings, serious deadlines, untouchable bedtimes.

Normal

A gentle hold

Light friction for everyday focus. Enough to interrupt the reflex, easy to leave when you mean it.

Strict

A firm grip

For deadlines and deep work. Leaving early takes a real unlock — the QR code, your partner, or an emergency.

Hardcore

The full commitment

For when you've decided in advance and mean it. The strictest hold Indistractable offers.

And the rest

Built to disappear into your routine

Automatic schedules

Sessions start and end on their own — every morning, workday, or bedtime.

Category blocking

Shut out whole categories of apps at once, not one at a time.

NFC tag unlock

Tap a tag to unlock — a fast alternative to scanning your QR code.

Time won back

Watch your focused hours add up. Only real locked time counts.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers

How is this different from Screen Time?

Screen Time limits come with an ignore button — one tap and you're back in. Indistractable has no ignore button. To end a session early you scan a QR code you've hidden, get your accountability partner's approval, or spend a limited emergency unlock. Quitting is always possible, never accidental.

What if I genuinely need my phone?

You always have a way back in. Every mode includes emergency unlocks — a limited few, so they stay for real emergencies. You can also keep essential apps available in every mode, or set a mode to Normal strictness for lighter friction.

Does my accountability partner need an iPhone?

Your partner approves unlock requests from their own phone. You choose who holds the key — a partner, flatmate, parent, or friend.

Can sessions start automatically?

Yes. Schedule focus sessions to start and end on their own — every morning, during work hours, or at bedtime.
