Block apps and websites
Pick apps and whole categories, or type the websites you want gone. Everything on the list stays blocked while the plan runs.
iPhone
Take control of your iPhone
Block distracting apps and websites, set time limits, and build better habits on iPhone. Enforced by iOS Screen Time, so it keeps working even when FocusMe is closed.
Free to download. Requires iOS 16 or later.
What you can do
Set time limits
Use your blocked apps for a set time each day or hour, then they're blocked until the next period.
Limit sessions
A few short sessions a day, with breaks in between, so a quick check stays a quick check.
Schedule your plans
Start a Quick Timer, or set a weekly schedule, overnight included. Block social media during work hours, allow it in the evening.
Choose how strict
From Unlocked to Lock it Down. Gentle Guidance asks you to type 5 random characters to stop; Lock it Down asks for 25, typed perfectly.
See where your time goes
The Activity tab shows your app usage and the apps FocusMe blocked. Understand your habits to change them.
Built on iOS Screen Time
FocusMe uses Apple's own Screen Time framework to enforce your plans. That is what makes the blocking stick.
Keeps working when the app is closed
Blocking is enforced by iOS itself, not by FocusMe running in the background. Swiping the app away changes nothing.
Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone
Apple keeps usage data inside the device. FocusMe shows it to you; it never leaves your phone.
A branded block screen
Open a blocked app and you see FocusMe's shield with the plan that is running, not a bare system message.
