Blocky

Try it here. Pick a habit, then try to open the app before it's done.

How it works

Blocked, done, unblocked.

  1. Workout or steps
    Sleep
    Water
    A fast
    Weigh-in
    Meditation
    Your own

    You set the goal that counts as done.

  2. The one you scroll, the one you love, or the one you'd miss.

    Phone and Settings are never blocked.

  3. Apple Health is the proof: when the workout, the steps or the sleep land there, the app's yours again.

    It unblocks on its own. Nothing to tap.

Reminders ask. Blocky blocks. A reminder is easy to swipe away. A blocked app isn't.

Made for

All your habits on one screen.

  • The top row logs a glass of water, a meal or the end of a fast in one tap. Take a break blocks apps for a while, with no habit needed.
  • Each habit shows how close it is today. A tick means it's done.
  • Friends show as rings that fill as their day goes. Do every habit and your day's done.

How the rest of it works

Screen Time blocks an app after a time limit, then lets you ignore the limit. Blocky keeps it blocked until the habit's done.

Questions

What if I need the app for work?
Then don't block it. Pick a different app, or add this one to the apps that are never blocked.
What if I need a blocked app before I'm done?
Spend a gem. A gem unblocks your apps for 15 minutes. You start with three, earn one each day you do every habit, and can spend two a day.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. A workout from Strava, Garmin, Nike Run Club or your gym's app counts once it's in Apple Health, and steps come from the phone itself.
What about rest days?
Pick the days a habit counts: every day, weekdays, weekends or your own. Sick or away? Pause it until you're back.
