Spoko: Focus & App Blocker

Spoko is an app blocker that greets you with a breath instead of a wall. You pause the apps or categories that pull you in, start a focus session or set schedules for mornings, deep work or evenings, and when you open a paused app a gentle screen asks you to breathe first. If you still need in, you earn a short window by waiting out a thirty-second breath or playing a tiny mindful game. Home shows time reclaimed and a dial of when unblocks cluster in the day.

It runs on the phone with no account and no tracking, and only knows whether an app is open, not what you do in it. That softness is the point, and also the limit: anyone who needs a hard lock will find it easy to get past. The free tier covers a single schedule and a couple of apps. People who feel guilty, not addicted, about their screen time are the fit.
