Onyx is a no-nonsense iPhone app blocker. It blocks the apps and sites you choose, right now or on a schedule, and it holds: a running block even survives deleting the app. For a fraction of what the big names charge.
Now on the App Store.
iPhone · iOS 17+ · runs entirely on your phone
Every blocker dies when you want to scroll badly enough. Onyx holds through exactly that moment.
A running block doesn't need the app. And in Monk mode your app list is frozen, so the icon won't even wiggle.
The block runs in iOS itself, not in the app. It carries on with Onyx closed, until the timer ends.
What you see instead of the feed. Calm, not shaming. Be the bigger person.
No bloat, no gimmicks. Just the focus tools that work, designed to feel calm.
Pick your apps and sites, pick a duration, and they’re gone until the timer runs out. Set your own time, or go strict with Monk mode: no stopping, no deleting apps, until it ends.
Workday, night, weekend, or hours you pick yourself, overnight windows included. Onyx shields your apps during those windows every week, automatically, even when the app is closed.
Apps blocked while you work, freed on your breaks. Pick your focus and break lengths and the number of rounds. The switches happen on time, hands-free, with a nudge when a break starts.
Most focus apps want an account and a subscription to a server somewhere. Onyx wants neither.
No sign-up, no email, no login. Open it and go.
Everything runs on your iPhone. Nothing leaves it, because there’s nowhere for it to go.
No analytics, no ads, no profile of your habits. It’s a tool, not a funnel.
