How the App Works

A mobile app screen titled 'Your Ink Pact' features a cartoon octopus holding a fountain pen, with a commitment agreement and session length options.

  • Make a signed commitment with yourself — an Ink Pact — to complete a timed focus Session.

    You pick the duration… How long can you last?

  • Select apps to restrict during your Session.

    The Blocktopus uses Apple’s Screen Time enforcements to hold you to your commitment.

  • Focus.

    Make it through the entire Session without quitting early or opening the apps you chose to hold back.

  • Track your Sessions to monitor your progress.

    Hold yourself accountable if you break your Ink Pact.

  • What happens during your Sessions stays between you and the Blocktopus… unless you decide to tell a friend.

    Your data stays on your device, and you don’t need to make an account to use the app.
