Shutout removes the "Ignore Limit" button from Screen Time and locks you out of your Screen Time settings, so that you don't have to rely on willpower to beat your screen addiction. Set it, forget it, and enjoy a life without doomscrolling.
Excellent product! Here's a suggestion for a pricing model: installation is free, but if you want to bypass the limit, there is a fee of $1.99 each time
@michael_vavilov Not a bad idea...I'll have to wait a little bit and ask users what they think about that before making a change

@michael_vavilov@adityasaravana That's a fucking FANTASTIC idea by Michael. (If users are ok with the charge) Personally I'd make it an option for them along side the random phrases. And I'd have an option for the price to increase if the "pay to unlock" method is used too much in a certain period of time. Just like how passcodes require you to wait longer each time you get them wrong.
This way people can really access the app if they are in a pinch and it can support the developer (you).
Personally I'd use the funds to create a version for different OSs like you mentioned wanting to do. Then funnel it (the money) into another avenue that helps people better themselves. Whether that's an app for improving focus, tracking habits, making content on the topic of mindless consumption etc.
But that's just me.
This is a really interesting app! I need to ensure I can use my phone in emergencies. How can I ensure access when the app is active?
Answering or dialing a phone call. Quickly capturing a photo of my cat in a cute pose.

@wenbei_mao you determine which apps are blocked with screen time. If you don't set the phone and camera to be locked, they will never be locked.
