Offimo - Mindful pause app for screen time control

Blocking websites as well as apps

Deleting the app does not help if the site is one tap away in Safari. How Offimo treats sites and apps as the same destination.

The most common hole in any blocker: you remove Instagram from your phone and keep going in through Safari. Same scroll, same lost hour. Offimo covers both routes.

Sites and apps, one rule

Offimo treats a website and an app as the same thing: a destination that deserves a pause before it opens. You add the app, you add its domain, and the pause holds on both.

How website blocking works

You block by domain, for example instagram.com. Blocking is applied at system level through Apple's Screen Time framework, so it holds across supported iPhone browsers, not just Safari.

For specific content inside a site, blocking by domain is the only option. If that feels too broad, keep the app paused and leave the site alone, or the other way round.

What is never blocked

Only what you add. Banking, maps, e-mail and work tools stay untouched unless you put them on the list. Offimo does not block anything on its own.

Emergency access

There is an unlock path, but it has friction on purpose. Enough that going through is something you decide rather than something your thumb does.

Setting it up

Open Offimo, go to your protected list, and add the domains you want next to the apps. Changes take effect the next time you open the site.
