How it works

You decide what to block and when. Alric holds the door.

  1. Pick what costs you

    Apps, whole categories, websites. Blocking runs through Apple's Screen Time, so it holds even when Alric is closed.

  2. Create your modes

    A mode is a set of blocked apps and a rule: a time range, a daily limit, or a place. Walk into the office and YouTube locks itself.

  3. Earn every break

    When you want to reopen an app, Alric gives you a challenge. Pass it and your break starts. You choose what you learn, and for how long.

Habits

Steps first, then your apps.

A habit can keep your apps locked until it's done. Link your accounts and Alric checks for you: your 10,000 steps are in, the box ticks itself, your apps come back. No cheating, no forgetting either.

Focus Score

By evening, you know if your day was yours.

A score out of 100, every day. It compares the time spent on the apps that scatter you with your previous week, and checks whether you kept your modes. 50 or more and your streak grows. A missed day costs a joker, not the whole streak.

The Statistics screen: about 6 h 14 min saved this week, Focus Score 96, an 8-day streak.

Hardcore mode

For the days you know you'll cave.

By default, Alric stays flexible. Hardcore mode removes the ways out, one by one, the ones you choose.

The Hardcore mode setting turned on: challenges that toughen, no app deletion, committed until a date.
  • Rules freezeEditing or deleting a mode means waiting up to 24 hours, or passing a challenge.
  • Commit until a dateThe night before an exam, during a crunch: nothing moves until then.
  • Blocked apps stay blockedYou can't pull them off the list in a moment of weakness.
  • Challenges get tougherEach break you take makes the next one a little longer to earn.

Pricing

Free. Pro if you want to go further.

Alric is free, with no time limit: one mode, every challenge, the Focus Score. The optional Pro subscription adds unlimited modes, place-based modes, hardcore mode, AI-made flashcards and challenges that follow your level. No ads, free or Pro.

Your data

What you do on your phone is none of our business.

The apps you block stay anonymous. Apple only gives Alric a token, never the app's name. Even we don't know what you block.

Your data lives in your iCloud. Modes, habits, progress: synced across your devices in your private iCloud space, which we never read.

Our server, in Paris, only knows your account and your subscription. When AI makes cards, your notes are sent just long enough to write them, and nothing is kept on our side.

No cookies on this site. No pixels, no analytics, so no banner to accept. Your email is used for one thing: telling you when Alric launches.
