apptoken

Apptoken is now free. Block distracting apps and websites with Screen Time, then unlock with NFC, QR, timers, schedules, widgets, or manual controls.

Apptoken helps you create real friction before opening distracting apps.

Instead of relying on willpower, Apptoken lets you create blocking profiles, choose the apps and websites you want to restrict, and start focused sessions using Apple's Screen Time controls. When you need access again, unlock using the method that fits your setup: NFC token, QR code, timer, schedule, widget, or manual control.

Apptoken is free. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no paywall, and no account required.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Create a blocking profile
2. Select distracting apps and websites
3. Grant Screen Time permission
4. Start a blocking session
5. Unlock only when you choose to

BUILT FOR PRACTICAL FOCUS

Apptoken is designed for people who want a stronger boundary than a reminder, but still need controlled access when life happens.

Use it to:

• Reduce mindless scrolling
• Protect work and study blocks
• Build better phone habits
• Keep social apps out of easy reach
• Add physical friction with an NFC token
• Use a QR code as a simple unlock method
• Schedule recurring focus time
• Control active sessions from widgets

UNLOCK OPTIONS

NFC unlock Pair blocking with a physical NFC tag or token so access requires a deliberate tap.

QR unlock Use a QR code as a lightweight unlock method when you want separation without extra setup.

Timers Start timed sessions and return to your selected restrictions when the session ends.

Schedules Create recurring blocks for work, school, mornings, evenings, or any routine you want to protect.

Widgets and Live Activities Control active sessions and keep track of focus time from the places you already use on iPhone.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DEFAULT

Apptoken does not require an account. Your profiles, selected restrictions, NFC and QR identifiers, schedules, timers, and session history are stored locally on your device or in the app group container used by the app and its extensions.

The app does not use third-party app analytics, advertising SDKs, behavioral tracking, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.

REQUIREMENTS

Apptoken uses Apple's Screen Time, Family Controls, Managed Settings, Device Activity, NFC, Camera, WidgetKit, Live Activities, and Background Tasks frameworks to provide blocking and unlock features.

You can revoke app permissions at any time in iOS Settings.
