About

OffKit helps make opening a distracting app a conscious choice. It uses Apple's Screen Time controls to block selected apps, then asks for a real-world action before unlocking them.

You can place a QR code away from your phone, reach a daily step goal, or complete an Apple Watch Move or Exercise goal. I built it to turn a reflexive tap into a moment to decide what to do next. See the App Store listing for the current options.
