Why nothing has worked

If the off switch is on your phone, you’ll always find it.

Screen Time, blocker apps, a passcode you set yourself, giving your phone to a roommate. They all fail the same way: the person who sets the limit can undo it. Apollo takes the off switch off your phone.

How? Apollo uses Apple’s own device management, the same technology schools use to lock down student iPads.

Why it works

Screen Time lets you skip the limit. Apollo doesn’t.

No button. No passcode. No way back in.
ApolloThe block runs to the last second. There’s nothing on your phone to turn it off.

You’re probably thinking…

“I always get around blockers.”

Not this one. There’s no Ignore button, no passcode to guess and no app to delete. Search for a blocked app and it isn’t even there.

“I just have no willpower.”

You don’t need any. You decide once, before you sit down to study. After that, your phone can’t change your mind at 11pm.

“I need my phone for school.”

Calls, messages, your calculator and your school apps keep working. Only the apps and websites you pick are blocked, and only for as long as you pick.

“What if I need to stop a block early?”

You can’t, and that’s what makes it work. But calls, messages and emergency calls always get through, so your family can always reach you. Start with short blocks, like 30 minutes, until you trust it.

Why I built Apollo

I didn’t lose a year to my phone all at once. I lost it five minutes at a time.

Nights I meant to study. Dinners where I was there, but not really. Calls with my mum where I said “yeah, yeah” and kept scrolling.

Every night I promised myself tomorrow would be different. Every morning I woke up tired, and a little more disappointed in myself.

I tried every blocker. I beat every one of them in two seconds. Not because I was weak. Because they all left the off switch in my hand.

So I built one I couldn’t beat.

The first evening it was on, I put my phone down and called my mum. Properly. I’d forgotten what that felt like.

If your phone keeps winning, I built this for you.

The fix

Apollo has no off switch. Not until the timer ends.

Start a block, and it runs to the last second, no matter what you tap.

Apollo is built for the version of you at 11pm, not the version of you at 9am.

You pick the apps and sites that steal your study time. You set the time. You start it. From that moment, the decision is already made.

Restart your phone, dig through Settings: the block keeps running. Switch browsers: Safari, Chrome and every other browser are blocked. Look for the app you banned, and it isn’t there.

There’s nothing to negotiate with, so you stop negotiating. About ten minutes in, the urge fades. With no way out, your brain stops looking for one and goes back to the work.

That’s the whole trick. Not more willpower. Less choice.
