Serein blocks the apps that pull you away — on a schedule, on a daily budget, or a few timed opens a day. Enforced by iOS itself, even with the app closed.
Work hours, wind-down, phone-free mornings. Your apps stay out of reach during the windows you set — automatically.
A daily budget per set of apps. Spend it, and they block for the rest of the day. Midnight resets it.
Apps stay blocked, but you get a few timed opens a day. A peek, not a spiral — they re-lock on their own.
No pause, no early unlocks, no editing the rule while it enforces. For the days a promise needs teeth.
One hour of open skies, once a week — every block steps aside, even strict. A planned exception beats a deleted app.
Unlock an app briefly and the Dynamic Island counts down to re-block — with a one-tap way to end the break early.
Choose what pulls you away with Apple's own picker. Serein never sees the list.
A schedule, a daily budget, or a handful of timed opens. One rule per block, stated plainly.
Blocking is enforced by Screen Time at the system level. It works with Serein closed — and keeps score of every time the wall held.
Serein has no accounts, no servers, and no analytics. Which apps you block is known only to iOS — Apple's Screen Time API hands us opaque tokens we couldn't read if we wanted to. Your sessions, stats and streaks live on your device and nowhere else.
