About this app

Mute helps you do the work that matters by blocking distracting apps while you focus — and adding a small financial commitment to make sure you actually stay.

How it works
Choose a session length (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, or custom), pay a $0.99 commitment deposit, and start.

While your session is active, any app not on your Allowed list is blocked and you're returned to the home screen. Do Not Disturb activates automatically.

Complete the session and your deposit carries forward — no charge next time. Exit early and the deposit is used.

Features
• Customizable Allowed Apps list — whitelist anything you need (Phone is always allowed)
• Session history to track your focus over time
• Custom session durations
• Privacy-first: the accessibility service only reads app names, never your screen content, passwords, or messages, and only during active sessions

Commitment deposit
The $0.99 deposit is what makes Mute different. Willpower alone isn't enough — a small financial stake keeps you honest.
