An iPhone app blocker that asks you to write a line about how you feel before opening a paused app.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-27 issue.

For: iPhone users trying to curb habitual app checking
Worth noticing: The page describes unlock windows of 5–60 minutes, with a Lock Screen countdown until blocking returns.

Field notes

The page describes a default-blocked setup: choose apps, categories, or websites, then add a short note to open one temporarily. It lists unlock windows from 5 to 60 minutes and a small daily pass budget for bypassing the writing step. The site says notes remain on the iPhone, with optional Plus reflections generated by Apple Intelligence on device.
