A blocker that holds
How it works
Block apps you open on autopilot
Use Screen Time to choose the apps and categories that pull you in.
Tap through a phrase
Each tap reveals the next phrase and adds time to your earned-time bank.
Spend a short pass
Choose a temporary unlock. Your selected apps re-lock when the pass ends.
A phrase before the scroll
The blocker for people who bypass blockers
Most app blockers stop at “no.” Stackwall adds a phrase, a pause, and a next move before access.
When a task gets hard, boredom shows up, or something feels uncomfortable, your phone can become the easiest exit.
Hurdle → Phone → Scroll → Repeat
Stackwall is for the moment before the scroll. It catches the urge and gives you a concrete next move.
In the default mode, tapping earns time. When you want more active friction, require a text note or a voice rep before a tap earns.
Stacky Coach follows a short Pause → Reframe → Choose flow. Describe what is happening and get five phrases shaped around the moment.
The block creates friction. The phrase gives the moment direction. The earned time is yours to choose.
Your settings changes wait 24 hours. The rule you set while calm gets time to protect you when the urge is loud.
