Pick Apps to Block

In App Management, use Apple's Screen Time picker to select the individual apps you want to shield. Choose social media, games, entertainment, or any other distracting app.

Blocked Apps Show a Shield

When you try to open a blocked app, iOS shows a custom QuizScreen shield message: "Please complete a quiz to unlock this app."

As a software engineer, I was wasting too much time on YouTube during work breaks. Now Quiz Screen makes me solve coding challenges to unlock it. I've actually improved my algorithm knowledge while managing my screen time!

My daughter was struggling with math, so I set up Quiz Screen with math problems to unlock her gaming apps. Now she's voluntarily practicing multiplication tables and her grades have improved dramatically!

I'm studying for the MCAT and Quiz Screen is perfect for keeping me focused. Biology questions to unlock TikTok? Genius! I'm learning even during my 'break time' and my practice test scores are going up.

Used to spend hours on Reddit and Twitter. Quiz Screen now quizzes me on history and science before I can access them. I've learned more random facts in the past month than I did in years of mindless browsing!
