A strict app to help you stop procrastinating on iPhone

Stop the automatic check. StrictBlock blocks distracting apps and websites during focus sessions so your phone is less available when procrastination starts.

Why procrastination happens on your phone

Phone procrastination often starts with one quick check of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, games, or a distracting website.

The problem is not always motivation. The problem is that the escape route is always one tap away.

Why reminders are not enough

A reminder can tell you to focus, but it still leaves the distraction available. StrictBlock is built for people who need an actual boundary during focus sessions.

How StrictBlock helps

Choose the apps and websites that usually pull you away, start a focus session, and use accountability features like streaks, reports, and session reflection to build discipline over time.

StrictBlock vs normal focus apps

Normal focus apps are often timers, reminders, or passive trackers. StrictBlock combines a strict app blocker, website blocking, Pomodoro sessions, focus profiles, and a minimal iOS design.

Best use cases

Study focus

Block the apps and websites that interrupt homework, lectures, and exam prep.

Deep work

Protect longer work sessions from reflexive phone checks.

Accountability

Use streaks, weekly reports, and journal notes to understand your patterns.

What people are saying

This app helps me a lot for my focus sessions”
Great app, it lets you start focus sessions and works a bit like Duolingo—you have to maintain your daily streak or it resets. For premium users, I'd love the option to schedule sessions to prevent procrastination.”

FAQ

How does StrictBlock help me stop procrastinating on iPhone?

It removes access to the apps and websites you usually open when you stall, so a focus session has a real boundary instead of another reminder.

Why isn't a reminder enough when I procrastinate?

A reminder still leaves Instagram, YouTube, or games one tap away. StrictBlock blocks those escape routes for the length of the session.

Can I still use useful apps during a focus session?

Yes. Choose only the apps and sites that pull you off task. Keep tools you need for studying or work available.

What should I block first?

Start with the one or two apps you open without thinking. Add websites if you switch to Safari after the apps are blocked.
