Deep work

An iPhone app and website blocker for hours that matter.

Stillpoint is useful when your best work keeps losing to the same interruption loop. Block the apps and sites that drain focus, schedule the hours you want protected, and add stronger friction if you usually undo your own plan mid-session.

Why it fits deep work

Focused work breaks when the phone stays negotiable.

Timers help, but they do not remove the escape hatch. Stillpoint is different because it uses Apple's Screen Time tools to block the apps, categories, and websites that usually become your relief valve when a task gets difficult.

Start a manual focus block at the beginning of a work sprint.
Schedule recurring work windows so your phone is already quieter before you begin.
Use stronger protection if you tend to override the blocker the moment the task stops feeling easy.

Use patterns

Simple ways to use Stillpoint for deep work.

Morning block

Schedule the first work window of the day.

Protect your sharpest hours before messages, feeds, and browser habits start competing for them.

Project sprint

Run manual sessions for important tasks.

Start a 45- or 90-minute block when a writing, coding, or planning sprint needs less negotiation and fewer exits.

Break control

Stop short checks from turning into context loss.

Block the apps and websites that usually steal more than the “one minute” you planned to give them.

Proof

Watch whether the protected hours are adding up.

Use streaks, weekly focus time, and completed sessions to see whether your work setup is actually holding.
