EvoCat enforces the rules you set. When a session starts, distractions are locked. No mid-session switching. No bargaining.
Pick your Cat for today.
If you're unsure which Cat to pick, you're already using the right one.
No willpower required once the session starts.
Select apps, categories, or websites. Configured once — not each time you feel tempted.
Recurring time windows. Sessions repeat automatically. No daily opt-in.
One enforcement style per day. IronCat gives you the least room to maneuver.
When the session starts, blocking starts. Your schedule holds until it ends.
One global Cat at a time. Switch once per day. Never mid-session.
Hard block
Blocks distractions outright. No bypass screen. No gate to pass through.
Effort gate
Physical challenge before access. Verified by camera. Effort creates pause.
Mental challenge
Cognitive challenge before access. Makes reaching for your phone feel intentional.
Mindful breathing
Breathing exercise before access. The softest entry point. Builds awareness.
Configure a schedule once. It runs every week, automatically, on the days you set.
If sessions overlap, blocking continues.
Your schedule wins over your mood.
Short interruptions only. Session resumes automatically.
Ends the session. Records the day honestly.
Runs entirely on Apple's Screen Time APIs. Blocking happens on-device. No accounts. No tracking.
Apps, app categories (social media, games, entertainment), and specific websites. You choose what to block when you create each session.
IronCat is the hardest enforcement style — no friction screen, no bypass option, no challenge to complete. It's the default because EvoCat is designed around commitment first. The other cats add a gate between intent and access. IronCat removes it entirely.
Once per day. The switch is immediate, but you cannot change cats while a session is running. Your enforcement style is a daily commitment — not a per-moment decision.
Blocking continues. EvoCat uses union logic — if any active session blocks something, it stays blocked for the full overlap window. Two sessions can't cancel each other out.
Yes. Pause suspends blocking for 1–15 minutes — for genuine interruptions only. "Give up today" ends the session and records it as a failed day. Both are visible. Neither is hidden.
Each day is either a win or a failure. Complete your sessions without giving up — day wins. Use "Give up today" — day fails. No XP, no partial credit.
Yes — blocking runs through iOS Screen Time APIs at the system level, not through the app process. However, a user with access to the Screen Time passcode in iOS Settings can bypass restrictions there. EvoCat works as a personal commitment tool, not a parental control.
No. Everything runs on-device. No account required. No behavioral data sent anywhere.
No. iOS only. Screen Time APIs are Apple-specific. No Android release is planned.
