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.

Optional Pro upgrade:

  • Monthly: $3.99
  • Yearly: $14.99
  • Lifetime: $19.99 one-time purchase

Hi

WeFocus helps with the problem of opening distracting apps “just for 5 minutes” and then losing 30–60 minutes without noticing.

The app lets you create focus sessions and block selected apps so you can stay away from social media, or any apps that usually pull you back in.

It’s built for people who want more control over their phone without relying only on willpower.

I wanted WeFocus to be flexible, not just another basic app blocker.

Different people need different levels of friction, so WeFocus includes multiple ways to stop yourself from quitting early:

  • Exit challenges — add a small challenge before ending a session early
  • Limited exits per day — allow yourself only a fixed number of early exits
  • Always Block mode — once the session starts, blocked apps stay blocked until the session ends
  • Gentle reminders — calm nudges that help you stay aware instead of feeling guilty
  • Simple Apple-style design — clean, lightweight, and easy to use

So instead of only blocking apps, WeFocus gives you different levels of commitment depending on how strict you want to be.

WeFocus is free to download with premium options available.

Pricing:-

life time 19.99$

yearly 14.99$

monthly 3.99$

Hey everyone,

I built WeFocus, an iOS app to help people reduce screen time, stay focused, and block distracting apps/websites like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Safari, and more.

The idea is simple: when you want to focus, you start a focus session and WeFocus helps you stay away from the apps that usually pull you in.

It includes:

- App & website blocking

- Daily app limits

- Scheduled focus blocks

- Flexible lock modes

- Strict “no early exits” mode for deep focus

I built it because I wanted something stronger than just reminders or soft screen-time warnings. Sometimes I need a real barrier between me and the apps I keep opening automatically.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback on the idea, screenshots, pricing, onboarding, or anything that feels confusing.
