Blocks at the iOS level with Apple Screen Time

You have goals.
Your phone has other plans.

Wall off the apps eating your evenings, name the goal you actually want, and turn every held block into altitude. This isn't about your phone — it's about getting your time back.

One hour doesn't change your life. Thousands of them do.

How it works

Four moves between you and the person you said you'd be.

Summit isn't a timer you can argue with. It's a wall, a goal, and a ledger that remembers.

Put up the wall.

Pick the apps that eat your evenings — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, Snapchat, or anything else on your phone. Summit shields them through Apple's Screen Time framework, so the block holds at the system level.

One giant switch. Green means the wall is up.

Live — apps & categories shielded by iOS

Name the goal. Set the deadline.

Write down what you actually want, in your own words, and give it one to twenty-four months. That sentence follows you — it's what you see on the block screen instead of the feed.

Every honest day climbs from Base Camp toward 8,849 metres. Bail out, and you slide back down. The mountain doesn't lie.

Claim the day.

Every evening, one honest tap: did the goal get closer, hold, or slip? Add a line if you want — the tap is what counts.

One line. One tap. The mountain keeps score.

Watch the ledger fill.

Altitude, streak, blocks held, hours back, urges paused away, and every bail-out you bought. The whole expedition on one screen.

The feed already clocked in. This is the receipt for the hours you took back.

Hardcore Mode

Pay every time you sabotage yourself.

$4.99

every time you quit a block early

Opt in, and there's a price on breaking your own promise — charged on the spot, written into your ledger, and 500 metres back down the mountain. It's the deposit contract, pointed straight at your feed.

24 hTo disarm it

Arming Hardcore is instant. Going back takes 24 hours — commitment isn't a switch you flip mid-craving. Charged immediately, no refunds. The block ends; the ledger remembers.

The toolkit

Everything that stands between you and the scroll.

The ascent line climbing toward Camp I at 950 metres

The mountain

Your goal, your deadline, six camps and 8,849 metres of climb — progress you can see, earned only by days you actually held.

Focus

One switch raises the wall for as long as you say — and locks its own controls while it's up.

Blocks held and apps walled off, with the Block Apps row

The wall

Unlimited blocks on any app or category, held at the system level by iOS — not by a timer you can talk past.

Creating a protected window that runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Protected windows

The wall raises itself on a schedule. Mornings stay yours, deep work stays deep, nights stay dark.

The breathing pause counting down inside a teal ring

The pause

Seconds face-to-face with your own goal before you can bail — and the breath grows every time you use it.

The climb

Six camps. One summit.

You're not building a streak. You're building a life you actually want — and every honest day moves you up the mountain.

Base Camp

0 m

Everyone starts here. Few leave.

Camp I

688 m

The first stretch is the steepest.

Camp II

2,065 m

Habits break here. Yours, or the phone's.

Camp III

4,425 m

Thin air. Clear head.

South Col

6,490 m

The last push. No one drifts to the top.

Summit

8,849 m

The goal, achieved. The feed lost.

The gentler door

Every scroll is a vote. Cast a better one today.

Not ready for Hardcore? Breathe is the default door, and it asks for something other than money.

Breathe first.

Thirty seconds with your own goal on the screen before the door will open. The breath grows every time you bypass, and a bypass costs 5% of your climb.

No charge, no punishment — just enough friction to put the decision back in your hands.

Sometimes… that's enough.

Questions

Before you commit.

What can Summit actually block?
Any app or category on your iPhone — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, Snapchat, news, email, whatever pulls you in. Blocking runs through Apple's Family Controls and Screen Time framework, so it holds at the system level rather than politely asking you to stop.
Can I just turn it off when I want to scroll?
No. While a block is live, its own controls are locked — including the settings that would let you undo it. Every block has exactly one door out, and you choose which door before the craving arrives.
What's the difference between Breathe and Hardcore Mode?
Breathe is the default: 30 seconds looking at your own goal before the door opens, growing longer each time you bypass, and costing 5% of your climb. Hardcore is opt-in: ending a block early costs $4.99, charged immediately, and drops you 500 metres back down the mountain. Arming Hardcore is instant; switching back to Breathe takes 24 hours.
What is "the mountain"?
Your goal, turned into a climb. Write down what you want and pick a deadline between one and twenty-four months. Every day you claim honestly moves you up through six camps toward 8,849 metres — Everest's height. Bail-outs move you back down.
Can Summit see my screen time data?
No. Your app activity stays on your phone — Apple's framework doesn't expose it to us. Summit can only raise and lower the wall.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use Summit without creating one.
What does it cost?
$5.99 a week or $19.99 a month. There's no free tier and no trial — that's deliberate. It auto-renews until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime in Settings.
Is it on Android?
Not yet. Summit is iPhone-only, because the blocking depends on Apple's Screen Time framework.
