## Description

Anchor blocks your distracting apps during focus sessions. Not a reminder — actually blocked. Pomodoro, Deep Work & Creative Flow modes. Free, no ads.

Anchor blocks your distracting apps during focus sessions. Not a reminder. Not a nudge. Actually blocked.

Most focus apps send a notification hoping you'll resist the urge to scroll. That doesn't work — especially when your brain craves dopamine. Anchor uses Apple's Screen Time API to lock apps at the system level. Try to open Instagram during a session? It won't open. No willpower required.
