About this app

Reclaim your focus, reduce your screen time, and take back control of your day with Butsu.

Whether you are studying for finals, trying to stay productive at work, or simply want to break your doom-scrolling habit, Butsu is the ultimate tool to block distractions before they happen.

Unlike basic screen time apps that just give you a warning, Butsu completely physically blocks you from opening distracting apps, ensuring you stay focused on what actually matters. With powerful scheduling and location-based rules, you can create the perfect environment for deep work.

🔥 Core Features:

🛑 Strict App Blocking Block your worst digital habits instantly. Create custom groups of distracting apps (like social media or games) and lock them down indefinitely, or set a temporary timer when you need to sit down and focus.

📍 Location Geofencing Automatically block apps based on where you are! Set up a location boundary so your phone automatically locks down social media as soon as you arrive at the office, the library, or school.

⏱️ Smart Screen Time & Open Limits Instead of blocking an app entirely, you can set smart limits. Only allow yourself to open Instagram 5 times a day, or restrict TikTok to 30 minutes. Once you hit your limit, Butsu locks the app until tomorrow.

📊 Beautiful Statistics & Heatmaps Track your progress with gorgeous daily and weekly statistics. Use the daily heatmap to see exactly when your screen time spikes, and track your performance against your daily screen time goals.

🎨 Custom Block Screens (Premium) Tired of generic block screens? Upgrade to Butsu Premium to completely customize the screen that appears when you try to open a blocked app. Add your own motivational messages, custom background images, or even add a button that redirects you to a productive app like Duolingo or Kindle instead!

🛡️ 100% Offline & Privacy First Your habits are your business. Butsu requires no account, no login, and works entirely offline. All of your app usage statistics, location boundaries, and blocking rules are stored securely in an encrypted database directly on your phone. We do not track you or sell your data.

Take the first step toward a healthier relationship with your phone. Download Butsu and start building better habits today!
