Barrier: Screen Time For Focus

Barrier: Screen Time for Focus is an iOS app designed to help users reduce social media usage and increase productivity.

By leveraging Apple's Screen Time API, the app allows users to block distracting and addictive apps. Users must wait 30 seconds before opening any blocked app and can only use it for 10 minutes before it re-locks, requiring another wait to reopen.

This process encourages mindful usage and helps users focus on more important activities. Barrier is free to use and utilizes ads as a deterrent to opening addictive apps.

Since its launch, users have reported significant reductions in screen time, with the user experiencing a personal decrease of over 70%.
