> Screen time blocker for iPhone, iPad and Mac with flexible rules

Jomo is a screen time app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that blocks distracting apps and websites by rule: at set times, after a usage limit, or until you complete an action such as a walk. Each block can be easy to lift or locked with Strict Mode, and a journal and reports show where your time goes. It is made by Jomo SAS, a self-financed two-person company based in France.

## Key features

- **Sessions:** Block chosen apps for a set duration or inside a time range, such as an hour of deep work or 9 PM to 6 AM, at a blocking strength you pick.
- **Limits and Actions:** A Limit blocks apps after a set amount of use, such as 10 minutes. An Action keeps them blocked until you do something first, such as walking 5,000 steps.
- **Unlocks:** Opening a blocked app can require waiting a few seconds, giving a reason, copying out a text, entering a password, scanning a QR code or showing proof.
- **Strict Mode:** Makes rules impossible to delete or bypass, for a set time, while blocking, within a time range or always. It is part of Jomo Plus.
- **Journaling and reports:** After a session you record whether the app was worth the time, and reports show usage patterns so you can decide what to block.
- **Mac app:** Blocks apps, websites and keywords on the Mac in all browsers, with no extension needed except for Firefox. Focus Filters switch on the same rules on iPhone and Mac together.

## Good for

- iPhone and Mac users who want the same blocking rules on both
- People who want apps unlocked only after a wait, a reason or a walk
- Students: the annual plan is half price with a student ID
- Buyers who would rather pay once than subscribe

## Worth knowing

- Apple devices only: iPhone, iPad and Mac. Jomo's pages list no Android or Windows version.
- The free plan allows 1 Session, 1 Action or Limit and 1 Screen Time Budget.
- Strict Mode, the Apple Health integration and multiple Screen Time Budgets need Jomo Plus.
- The help center says only the lifetime plan can be shared with family, yet the US App Store also lists Jomo Plus Family at $11.99 a month and $59.99 a year.
