Description
Take back control of your time.
Rotblock helps you build healthier digital habits by letting you set real, meaningful limits on the apps and activities that pull you off track. No accounts. No paywalls. No subscriptions. No data ever leaves your device.
YOUR RULES, YOUR WAY
Rotblock puts you in charge with flexible, user-defined presets. Build a set of limits that match your lifestyle — then activate them whenever you need focus, rest, or a break from the scroll.
FOUR POWERFUL LIMIT TYPES
Location-Based Limits
Let your physical world shape your digital one. Set a geofence around any location — your office, a library, a gym — and choose how it behaves. In an allowed zone, your limits lift the moment you arrive and re-engage when you leave. In a blocked zone, distracting apps are shielded while you're inside. Your phone adapts to where you are, automatically.
Allowed Hours
Define the windows of the day when distracting apps are accessible. Outside those hours, shields go up — so late-night scrolling and morning rabbit holes are a thing of the past. Set morning and evening windows, or any schedule that works for you.
Open Limits
Sometimes you need a quick exception. Open Limits give you a controlled escape valve — a set number of daily bypasses you can use to temporarily lift a shield. Once your opens are used up, the limit holds. You decide how many is enough, and optionally how long each unlock lasts.
Usage Timers
Set a daily cap on how much time you spend in distracting apps. When you hit your threshold, shields engage automatically. Timers work on cumulative usage, so there's no gaming the system by switching between sessions.
STAY INFORMED WITH USAGE REPORTS
Rotblock includes an integrated activity dashboard so you can see how your screen time is actually trending. Review your usage for today or over time — and use that insight to fine-tune your limits.
BUILT ON APPLE'S SCREEN TIME FRAMEWORK
Rotblock is built entirely on Apple's native Screen Time APIs — Family Controls, Device Activity, and Managed Settings — so shields are enforced at the system level. There are no workarounds, and no way for distracting apps to slip through.
PRIVACY FIRST, ALWAYS
Rotblock requires no account, no sign-in, and no internet connection. Every preset, schedule, and usage record stays entirely on your device. What you do with your time is your business.
PERFECT FOR:
Professionals who need deep focus blocks during the workday
Students managing study sessions and avoiding distractions
Anyone trying to reduce mindless scrolling and reclaim their attention
People who want location-aware limits — like staying off social media at work
Those who've tried willpower alone and want a system that actually holds
Rotblock uses Apple's Screen Time framework and requires Family Controls authorization on your device. Screen Time parental restrictions must not be managed by another device to use Rotblock.
