What is it about?
No subscriptions. No signup. Start using in 30 seconds.
App Store Description
No subscriptions. No signup. Start using in 30 seconds.
Only pay when you break your focus - because accountability should cost something real.
Take control of your screen time and sleep better. DIAL helps you block distracting
apps, build healthier habits, and reclaim your focus.
5 to 6 hours. That's how long you'll spend on your phone today. DIAL helps you break
free from endless scrolling and late-night phone use so you can focus, sleep better, and
live more intentionally.
THE DIAL DIFFERENCE
Unlike subscription-based app blockers, DIAL keeps it simple:
- Block apps instantly or on a schedule
- Strict Mode prevents bypassing (or pay to "Undial")
- No monthly fees - only pay when you break your commitment
- Built with Apple's Screen Time API - private & secure
BLOCK APPS YOUR WAY
Dial In Now - Start an instant focus session
Block TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, or any distracting app for 30 minutes to
8+ hours.
Smart Scheduling - Set recurring blocks
Create schedules like "Bedtime" (9pm-7am) or "Work Focus" (9am-5pm Monday-Friday). Set
it once, let it run automatically.
Strict Mode - Maximum accountability
When enabled, you can't bypass, delete the app, or change your phone's time. Want out
early? It costs a small fee to "Undial" - making you feel the cost of breaking your
commitment.

PRIVACY FIRST
DIAL uses Apple's Screen Time API - your data never leaves your device. We don't track
what apps you use or how long you use them. Your screen time data is yours, stored
locally and privately.
THE UNDIAL PHILOSOPHY
Most apps charge $10-20/month whether you use them or not. DIAL flips this: the app is
free to use, but breaking your commitment costs a small fee. Feel the real impact of giving in
to distraction.
