App Blocker

Block what distracts. Focus on what matters.

Choose what to block

Pick the apps and categories you want gone during a focus session. Social, news, games, anything else — you decide. The list is yours, and you can change it any time.

Auto-enabled with the session

Hit start and the block kicks in. When the session ends, the block lifts. No second app to remember, no manual toggles, no separate routine to keep in sync with your timer.

Bypass when you really need to

Sometimes a blocked app is the one you actually need. A short, deliberate confirmation lets you through — enough friction to break a reflex, not so much that real work gets blocked.

Powered by Apple's Screen Time API

Stroved uses Family Controls and Managed Settings to block apps the way iOS itself does. Everything happens on-device. Stroved never sees which apps you blocked or which ones you opened.

Pro feature

App Blocker is part of Stroved Pro. The free tier already includes the Focus Timer, Flow View, and iCloud sync — Pro adds the blocker, ambient sounds, and full statistics for the times you want to go deeper.
