ByIntent, the App That Puts a Doorway in Front of Your Other Apps

Field notes

ByIntent separates ongoing limits, temporary blocking sessions, and resistance to changing the rules, rather than presenting them as one undifferentiated control panel. Its documented defaults include a five-minute emergency pass available three times weekly, a 30-second initial wait, and a 24-hour delay before relaxed rules take effect. The site also describes four locally stored event types—opening, leaving, passing, and threshold events—and says the interception screen is drawn by iOS rather than by the app itself.
