Description

Over 2.2B iPhones were sold in the last 10yrs. The average online adult spends 6h38m online every day! Enough, at that pace, to LOSE 20+ years of an 80-year life! YOU already know you should stop scrolling. The hardest part is stopping, and SETL solves that. It automatically blocks the apps your willpower can't. Users cut screen time by 4h3m a day on average. 3h during the day and 1h3m in the evening. Use SETL to focus & go to bed in peace. Focus on your own life, not everyone else’s online...

Could you build this?

Partial App blocking on iOS cannot be accomplished with standard web/mobile app wrappers; it requires Apple's specialized FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks which require explicit entitlements and strict sandboxed background extensions.

What it would actually take: Requires native Swift development utilizing Apple's Screen Time API suite (`FamilyControls`, `ManagedSettings`, `DeviceActivity`). The hardest part is acquiring the non-standard `com.apple.developer.family-controls` entitlement approval from Apple and architecting ShieldAction and ShieldConfiguration app extensions that can reliably intercept app launches without crashing.
