Hey everyone,
I built WeFocus, an iOS app that helps you reduce screen time, stay focused, and block distracting apps/websites like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Safari, and more.
A – Answer:
WeFocus solves the problem of constantly opening distracting apps without thinking.
Most screen-time tools only show you reports after the damage is done. WeFocus helps you create a real barrier before you lose another hour scrolling.
You can start a focus session, block apps immediately, set daily limits, or schedule recurring blocks for study, work, sleep, or deep focus. The goal is simple: make it harder to fall back into automatic scrolling and easier to stay in control.
B – Better:
Unlike basic timers or soft reminders, WeFocus gives you different levels of commitment depending on how serious you want to be:
- Block apps and websites at the system level using Apple’s Screen Time API
- Start instant focus sessions when you need to concentrate
- Set daily app limits that reset at midnight
- Create scheduled blocks for work, study, evenings, or bedtime
- Use different exit challenges when you feel tempted to quit early
- Choose stronger modes like limited exits per day or “Always Block”
- Save focus profiles for different routines
- Home Screen widgets for quick access and session countdowns
- Live Activity and Dynamic Island support for active sessions
- Private by design — blocking data stays on-device, with no tracking of what you block
I built it because I wanted something stronger than “just use willpower,” but still calm and flexible enough for daily use.
C – Cost:
WeFocus is free to download and try.
