What we built

SwiftUIKitScreen Time APICore Data

Block pairs a small physical device with an iPhone app. One tap on the device starts a focus mode that locks distracting apps until you tap it again.

We built the iOS app with Swift, UIKit and Apple's Screen Time API, including custom blocking modes, usage insights and app management.

  • Start a focus mode with one tap on the device
  • Custom modes for deep work, family time or the gym
  • Calls, messages and maps stay available
  • Streaks, blocked attempts and screen-time insights
  • A few emergency unblocks for real need
