OpenAppLock is an open source iOS app for blocking apps. Block apps on a schedule, add time or open limits, and lock rules to prevent edits. I built it to help me spend more time outside staring at grass, like the picture.

I worked with the different Apple screen time APIs to build the features in a privacy-preserving way.

Try it out and send me [feedback](mailto:openapplock@bchen.dev)!
