Potato Mode

Take back your screen time. Block distracting apps on a schedule, set daily limits, or go full potato mode instantly. Free, private, no account needed.

Potato Mode — App Blocker Put your phone down. Go full potato.

Potato Mode helps you block distracting apps using your iPhone's built-in Screen Time — no account, no subscription, no data ever leaving your device. Just a sleepy little potato and a lot fewer doom-scrolling sessions.

Three ways to block: Couch Mode — Tap the potato to instantly block your selected apps right now. Tap again when you're ready to come back. Simple. Schedules — Set recurring block windows that run automatically. Block social media every night from 10 PM to 7 AM, or set a work focus window on weekdays. Your phone, your rules. Usage Limits — Give yourself a daily time budget per app group. When you've used up your 30 minutes of TikTok and Instagram for the day, Potato Mode cuts you off automatically.

Private by design. Potato Mode never asks for an account, never collects data, and never phones home. Everything runs entirely on your device using Apple's Screen Time API. Free. Always. No paywalls, no premium tier, no ads. If Potato Mode helps you reclaim your time, consider buying us a coffee — but there's no pressure.
