Shielded apps
LockedBlocking apps is easy. Staying honest after the block is the hard part.
Drift gives the impulse somewhere useful to go: take a walk, clean up, read a few pages, finish the thing you were avoiding. Then your apps open again.
Block first. Earn access back.
Choose the apps
Pick the places you lose time. Drift uses Apple's Screen Time shield, so the block lives at the system level.
Finish a task
Walk, read, tidy, stretch, call someone back. You decide what counts and how much time it earns.
Spend the minutes
Open a blocked app and the balance starts ticking down. When it runs out, the shield comes back.
Built for the moment you reach for your phone.
No giant dashboard. No guilt loop. Just blocks, tasks, minutes, and a clear reason to put the phone down first.
Real iOS blocking
Drift uses Screen Time, not a fake overlay. The apps you pick stay behind the shield.
Minutes you earn
Finish a task, get time back. Open the app, spend the balance.
Task difficulty
A ten-minute walk and a deep-clean session should not pay the same. Drift lets you weight the work.
Live balance
Your timer only drains while a blocked app is open, so the number always means something.
Repeating routines
Set chores, workouts, reading, or bedtime resets once. Drift brings them back on schedule.
Protected hours
Keep bedtime, school, or deep work locked even if you have minutes saved up.
Your plant tracks the habit.
Tasks earn XP. Enough XP moves your plant through seven stages, from Seedling to Old Growth.
One person or the whole house.
