Hello everyone, it is my great honor to introduce you to the brand new AppBlock for iOS. The all-new AppBlock is bringing completely revolutionary app-blocking capabilities to iOS 16 users, giving them control over their free time. Thanks to the new use of the Screen Time API, AppBlock puts a previously unseen ability to control app usage in the hands of the user, helping to get rid of phone dependency, improve the ability to focus and improve overall digital well-being. What is new in AppBlock for iOS 16? 1️⃣ A more efficient way to block apps with the Screen Time API 2️⃣ Ability to select entire categories of apps 3️⃣ Improved user experience 4️⃣ New blocking screen and usage statistics 1️⃣ A new way to block selected apps Without the Screen Time API, we had to block apps from connecting to the internet so they remained accessible to the user. With access to the Screen Time API, AppBlock can now block entire applications that the user chooses. At predefined times or locations, the user will not be able to access the pre-selected apps. 2️⃣ More precise selection of blocked apps and categories The new AppBlock will recognise all the apps on the phone and categorise them. With one click, you can block all apps in the social networking or games category, for example. 3️⃣ Faster access to key features Based on user research, we've redesigned the user interface to make the app smoother to use. All key features such as Quick Block or Scheduled blocking are now immediately accessible when you open the app. 4️⃣ Advanced smartphone usage statistics With a direct connection to the Screen Time API, we can use smartphone usage data to open your eyes to the amount of time spent in apps. This feature is already ready and being tested, we are just waiting for consistent data from the Screen Time API. Expected deployment is during this fall. ⚫️ If you are interested in reading our whole press release, you can do it here: https://bit.ly/3CkbiZx 📱 Here is a really quick showcase of the app and how it works: https://youtu.be/IpN7pbeJLBg Thank you very much for your attention! We'd love any feedback, so please let us know! Thank you.

Hey, everybody. When we first came up with the idea of an app to help us focus back in 2015, it was hard to imagine that a company like Apple would go out of their way to help us, by making a key API available, to create an app that would be a full-fledged companion for a wide range of people. People with attention deficit disorder, students, parents, and working people write to us saying that AppBlock has changed and sometimes saved their lives! Thanks to our users, AppBlock has been around for such a long time, and thanks to your great feedbacks, we believe that what we're doing makes a difference. We're happy to be doing something that has a direct and positive impact on so many people. I'd like to add a big thank you to all of you who have supported our launch here at ProductHunt. As a thank you, I have a free app for a year for the 10 fastest of you!

This app is all-in-one and more! Super useful and simple, yet with all the features you can dream of. If this app will not make you more productive & focused, I do not know what will :)

im so glad about this!! i have been an android user for my whole life, and AppBlock was one of my 3 essential apps. i was afraid to mirgate to iOS bc I would not be able to use AppBlock the same way I could on my android - but I am so happy that is not an issue anymore! consider me in -- you guys are doing great work.
