Screen Time API workaround that actually prevents mid-session bypassing.
Strengths
- •Four cat modes (IronCat, BuffCat, SageCat, ZenCat) offer graduated enforcement
- •No switching mid-session prevents rationalizing your way past blocks
- •Leverages iOS Screen Time APIs for system-level enforcement
Weaknesses
- •iOS-only limits audience compared to cross-platform blockers
- •App blocker category is crowded with Freedom, Cold Turkey, Forest

Post Description
Built EvoCat, a strict iOS app blocker using Screen Time APIs.
Most apps still let you bypass mid-session. This one doesn’t.
“Cats” are enforcement modes: – IronCat: hard block – BuffCat: effort to unlock – SageCat: challenge – ZenCat: delay
Pick one per day. No switching mid-session.
Would love feedback.
