What makes it different

An app blocker built on
Apple Screen Time.

No hacks. No workarounds. BathroomBlocker uses the same Screen Time framework Apple ships on every iPhone to block distracting apps during a session.

⏱️

Timed Sessions

Choose 5, 10, 15 minutes — or set your own. The moment a session starts, a shield locks your selected apps. When time's up, take a short walk and apps unblock automatically.

Custom timer Auto-lift Background mode
📵

Block Any App

Instagram. TikTok. Twitter. Reddit. You pick exactly which apps get blocked — and set unlock exceptions.

One-Tap Start

No setup needed every time. Tap once and your session is live. Apps are blocked when you put your phone down.

Instant Zero friction
🔐

100% Private by Design

BathroomBlocker does not collect any personal data. There are no user accounts. We never see which apps you block, how long you stay, or anything personally identifiable. Everything that matters stays on your device.

How BathroomBlocker works

Three taps.
Zero willpower.

01

Choose Your Apps

Select which apps get blocked. Pick individual apps, entire categories, or both. Set unlock exceptions for anything you need.

02

Start the Session

One tap. BathroomBlocker activates immediately using Apple's Screen Time API. The shield is up before you even set your phone down.

03

Walk Away Free

Take a little walk — apps unblock automatically. No fumbling. No manual off switch needed.

The psychology

Friction is the
feature.

You don't need more self-control. You need an environment that makes it easier to focus than get distracted. BathroomBlocker creates that friction automatically.

🧠

Habit loop interruption

Stops the routine loop before it starts.

Behavioral friction

Makes the unhealthy choice harder than the healthy one.

🎯

Commitment device

You decide in advance — not in the moment of temptation.
