Private screen time and app block planner

Enter a pattern you already know and separately plan a protected window. Scheduled block time is never presented as saved time or guaranteed focus.

No Screen Time or app accessNo account or contact accessNo saved-time claimNo focus or health promise

Compare the observed pattern and planned blocks

The first calculation annualizes your entered pattern. The second totals scheduled blocks. It does not subtract one from the other or predict behavior.

Annual-equivalent observed hours
Annual-equivalent 24-hour days
Scheduled block minutes per week
Scheduled block hours across 52 weeks
Selected measurement

Observed annual-equivalent uses daily minutes × active days ÷ 7 × 365. It represents only the pattern entered here, not a direct Screen Time reading.

Scheduled block hours use block length × block days × 52. They are calendar intent only—not screen time saved, attention recovered, focus gained or work completed.

Reversible preflight:

Five checks before an app-block session

  1. Use Settings > Screen Time to verify the source pattern instead of guessing when possible.
  2. Select only apps unrelated to the specific protected window.
  3. Keep essential communication, navigation, authentication, accessibility and care access available.
  4. Define the allowed replacement action and a clear way to end or recover the session.
  5. Test the shortest practical block, review what actually happened, then adjust without claiming saved time.

What this planner does not know

It cannot read your Screen Time report, installed apps, notifications, contacts, device settings or session results. It is for personal planning, not child safety, emergency access, medical care, employment monitoring or treatment.

Screen time planning questions

Does this page read my iPhone Screen Time?

No. You manually enter bounded numbers; the page has no device, app or account access.

Are scheduled block hours the same as time saved?

No. A schedule is intent. This page never assumes the block ran or changed behavior.

Is all screen time harmful?

No. The calculation does not label work, communication, navigation, reading or any other use as good or bad.

Should essential apps be blocked?

No. Review communication, navigation, authentication, accessibility and care access before any restriction.

Want an optional on-device blocking workflow?

LockHour Pro is optional. Its current App Store listing describes timed blocking for selected apps with automatic unlock, Quick Focus, Deep Work, Study, Sleep Wind Down, Morning Reset and Custom modes, plus widgets and Live Activity. The listing also says no account, ads or tracking, on-device data and a one-time unlock. Check the current listing for exact availability and features. This planner works without the app.
