Tysh
Protect your focus from app drift.
Block distracting apps and websites, budget daily opens, start calm focus sessions, and protect bedtime with Wind Down — without shame, leaderboards, or noisy gamification.
Block distractions automatically. Apps and websites stay out of the way when your protected time starts.
Less noise. More control.
Tysh gives you the tools to protect your attention and build better habits — on your terms.
Block what pulls you away
Schedule recurring blocks of apps, categories, and websites around work, study, and sleep — with reusable app lists and a calendar view.
Budget app opens
Launch Budgets decide how often — or how long — distracting apps can open each day, instead of relying on willpower.
Start protected focus
Choose a duration and soundscape, then let Tysh hold the line until the timer ends.
Wind down for bed
Put your phone to rest across your sleep window and follow gentle evening and morning checklists.
How it works
Three simple steps to protect your focus.
Choose the apps that pull your attention
Select the apps and websites that distract you most. Tysh makes it easy to build your personal block list.
Set protected times or start a focus session
Schedule automatic blocks for your morning routine, deep work hours, or bedtime Wind Down. Or start a session whenever you need it.
Tysh steps in when your future self needs backup
When you reach for a blocked app, Tysh gently reminds you of your commitment and helps you stay present.
Strict but calm
Choose how firmly Tysh holds each boundary — from a gentle pause to a full commitment. Every mode stays calm about it.
Easy
Flexible protection with intentional friction. A pause to reconsider before you override.
Hard
Fewer escape routes. Requires more deliberate action to break through in the moment.
Complete
Full commitment with a single weekly emergency end. For the boundaries you most want kept.
Built for iPhone privacy.
Tysh uses Apple's Screen Time technology to block the apps, categories, and websites you choose — and it needs Screen Time authorization to do it. Your focus system should feel personal, private, and under your control.
Stays on your device
Detailed Screen Time activity and app usage never leave your iPhone.
No ads or tracking
No advertising SDKs and no third-party advertising tracking.
No account required
Use Tysh without signing in. An optional account only backs up your setup.
No shame-based feeds
No social comparison, no public leaderboards, no guilt trips.
Free to start. Premium for stronger commitments.
The core boundary system is free. Premium adds depth, not escape routes. Cancel anytime.
