Detach

Claimed

Block distracting apps and websites with an NFC card that makes ending a focus session intentional.

Paid

Overview

Detach is an iPhone app blocker that uses a physical NFC card to end focus sessions. Choose apps and websites to block, create custom modes and schedules, enable strict mode, and track time spent away from your phone. The card costs $9.99 once, with no subscription.

Key Features

Physical NFC Card Control

A physical card is required to end a Detach session, adding friction before blocked apps become available again.

App and Website Blocking

Choose the distracting apps and websites you want unavailable during a session.

Custom Focus Modes

Create separate modes for work, sleep, deep focus, or other routines with different blocked items.

Scheduled Blocking

Start sessions automatically on chosen days and times instead of relying on willpower.

Strict Mode

Keep a block active even if the app is deleted, until the NFC card is tapped.

Emergency Overrides

Use a limited number of emergency exits when access cannot wait.

Focus Activity Tracking

Review weekly activity to see how much time you have spent away from your phone.

One-Time Price

The physical Detach card costs $9.99 once, with no recurring subscription.
