Jomo offers several ways to control apps, including sessions, schedules, locks, limits, routines, and configurable unlock steps. It is a good option for people who want many rule types.

Choose Jomo when you want detailed rules, time limits, recurring routines, or custom unlock mechanics. Make sure its blocking options fit the way you use your iPhone.
Choose StrictBlock when you want fewer decisions before a work or study block: start a session, block the distractions you selected, then use streaks and reflection to stay consistent.

Jomo offers many rule types, schedules, and custom unlock steps. StrictBlock keeps a shorter path: choose distractions, start a session or Pomodoro, and use streaks and reflection to repeat it.
No. StrictBlock makes early exits intentional rather than adding configurable unlock puzzles. Choose Jomo if custom unlock mechanics are the feature you want.
StrictBlock is built around that short path. Jomo is the better fit if you want to design many rule types before the session starts.
Yes. StrictBlock can block websites during a session. Confirm Jomo's current website options in the App Store if that is a deciding factor.
StrictBlock is for people who need more than reminders. Choose what to block, start a focus session, and let your iPhone become easier to ignore.
