Orbit - Stop doomscrolling. Earn every unlock.
Orbit - App Blocker & Focus is a productivity utility designed to limit phone distractions by introducing intentional friction to habit-driven app usage. Operating at the system level using Apple's native Screen Time framework, the tool locks selected applications during specified schedules to help curb mindless scrolling and maintain deep work sessions. Rather than relying on rigid lockouts, guilt trips, or streak trackers, the application encourages mindful usage by requiring a deliberate physical hold to override restrictions.
- System-Level Blocking: Restricts access to user-selected apps across chosen days and hours using native Apple framework integration.
- Custom Hold Durations: Requires holding down a finger for a set period ranging from five seconds to three minutes to unlock a blocked app.
- Preset Schedules: Includes ready-made configurations like no-scroll evenings, deep work morning blocks, and wind-down sleep modes.
- Flexible Breaks: Permits short timed breaks between three and fifteen minutes when access is genuinely needed mid-schedule.
- Zero Data Collection: Operates locally on device with optional account creation, ensuring user privacy and local data storage.
The application suits professionals, students, and indie builders seeking low-friction digital restraint without intrusive usage analytics. Available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, it functions as a lightweight option for anyone looking to build better digital discipline. The app is free to download with optional in-app purchases and subscription plans available for advanced features.
