Field notes
Burrow’s page describes a timer, selected-app blocking, scheduled limits, and a study mode for subjects and exams. Gaston’s burrow advances minute by minute, with collectable finds as the reward loop. The free plan lists two blocking profiles, one schedule, and 30 days of history; Pro adds more profiles and schedules, full history, and alternative app icons. The site says the app is coming soon and requires iOS 26.5 or later.
