Focused in three taps

No accounts to set up, no tutorial to sit through. Pick, start, focus.

📲

1 · Pick your apps

Choose the apps and websites that pull you in, straight from Apple's secure picker. Or tap a ready-made blocklist — Social, News, Games, Doom-scroll.

▶︎

2 · Start a session

25 minutes, 90 minutes, a study sprint, a gym session — whatever fits. Your Pomodoro timer runs and the shield goes up.

🎯

3 · Stay locked in

Your blocked apps simply won't open until the session ends. When the timer's done, they come back automatically.

The honest part

Blocking that actually holds the line

Most "focus" apps are easy to cheat — one tap and you're back in the feed. Stickly uses the same OS-level system Apple's own Screen Time runs on, so when you commit, you stay committed.

✓ Delete Stickly mid-session? Your apps stay blocked till the timer ends. The lock lives in iOS, not just the app.
✓ A calming custom screen greets you when you try to open a blocked app — not a jarring error.
✓ Need out early? Wait out a short cooldown for free, or skip the wait if you really must. There's always an honest way out.

For the impulsive

Lock In mode, for when willpower isn't enough

Turn on Lock In and the escape buttons disappear for the length of your commitment. It's friction by design — the kind that finally makes a focus app work when every other one failed you by lunchtime.

✓ Choose your strictness: gentle nudge, breathing pause, limited unlocks, or full Lock In.
✓ Your commitment survives a force-quit, a reboot, even a reinstall.
✓ Opt-in, always — you decide how strict before you start.

One app, not three

Habits and focus, finally in the same place

Stickly isn't only a blocker. It's a Pomodoro timer and a habit tracker too — so the time you protect by blocking distractions shows up directly in the streaks you're building.

✓ Beautiful habit heatmaps and streaks — light, satisfying, never cluttered.
✓ Pomodoro timer with real alarms that ring through Silent and Focus modes.
✓ Everything syncs privately across your iPhone and iPad via iCloud.

The thing no other blocker has

Focus alongside friends

Start a session together and watch each other show up. Real accountability beats a lonely timer — and it's the one feature the big blockers never built.

✓ Shared focus sessions with a joint timer and joint streak.
✓ Each person blocks their own apps — private by design, no one reaches into your phone.
✓ Encouragement, not surveillance.

Questions, answered honestly

Can I really not get around the block?

Stickly is the strongest friction an App Store app can offer — with Lock In on, the escape buttons are gone for the length of your commitment, and the block holds even if you force-quit, reboot, or delete the app. But it's your phone, so there's always an honest exit: wait out a short cooldown for free, or skip the wait. We'll never claim something is impossible when it isn't.

What happens if I delete Stickly during a session?

Your chosen apps stay blocked until the timer you set runs out, then they unblock on their own. The lock lives at the iOS level, not inside the app — so deleting Stickly won't free you early.

Why not just use Apple's Screen Time?

Screen Time is all-or-nothing and not session-aware. Stickly blocks only during your focus sessions and then lets your apps back automatically — and adds habits, Pomodoro, friend sessions and a calmer experience on top.

Is my data private?

Yes. Blocking runs on-device through Apple's Family Controls. The apps you block, your habits and your stats stay on your phone and your private iCloud. Nothing is sold or shared.

Is there really a free version?

Yes — real blocking, the Pomodoro timer, up to four habits and friend sessions are all free. Plus removes the limits (unlimited habits and blocking, custom profiles, Lock In). You get to succeed before you ever see a price.

Android?

Not yet. Stickly's blocking is built on Apple's Family Controls, which is iOS and iPadOS only. It's an iPhone and iPad app today.
