Frequently asked questions
What is StrictBlock?
StrictBlock is an iPhone app blocker that uses iOS Screen Time API to block the apps you choose on a schedule you set. It helps you reduce procrastination and stay focused without easy bypass options.
Does StrictBlock actually block apps on iPhone?
Yes. StrictBlock uses Apple's Screen Time API to apply real blocks to the apps you select. The block stays active without requiring willpower to maintain.
How is StrictBlock different from Screen Time?
Apple's built-in Screen Time lets you set limits with a bypass passcode you can override any time. StrictBlock adds structure that makes it harder to rationalize away the block, so it's more effective for persistent procrastination habits.
Is StrictBlock good for students?
Yes. Students who keep opening social apps during study time benefit most. Set StrictBlock to activate during your study hours and it stays on without requiring willpower to maintain.
Does StrictBlock require an account?
No. StrictBlock works without an account, login, or subscription. Download, set your schedule, and you're done.
Can StrictBlock help with procrastination?
Yes. Phone procrastination often comes from habitual app opening — opening Instagram or Twitter without thinking. StrictBlock creates friction at that moment, making the habit harder to start.
If your main problem is opening distracting apps without thinking, StrictBlock was built for that exact moment.
