TaskGate: Focus & App Blocker

TaskGate puts a short task between you and the apps you open without thinking. Before a social app or a game opens, you take a breath, move, drink some water or smile. Then you decide: put the phone down, or go on to the app. How it works 1. Choose the apps you want to slow down. 2. When you open one, TaskGate shows a short task first. 3. Finish the task, then tap Focus to put the phone down, or Open to go on to the app. Tasks Breathing, quick meditation, neck and shoulder exercises, a posture check, eye rest, a water break, a smile exercise, a quick walk, affirmations, a mindful check-in, a body check and a usage check. Gate Buddy, TaskGate's mascot, appears in each one. Partner apps add their own tasks, starting with LoA. Schedules Set the hours an app needs a task, like work time or evenings, and give each schedule its own task and color. Add an open limit to cap how many times an app can open per day, week or month, or keep it closed while the schedule runs. Stats Home shows time saved, tasks completed, app opens blocked today and your streak. The Usage screen charts screen time, time saved and tasks by day, week, month and year, with time per app. Time saved is estimated at 3 minutes per blocked open. TaskGate is free, and there's no account to make. Screen Time TaskGate uses Apple's Screen Time framework to gate the apps you pick. It can't see what you do inside them.
