What’s New Version 1.1
What’s New:
Under-the-hood improvements: We’ve optimized the app’s performance for an even smoother and faster experience.
Scheduled Breaks: You can now enable breaks within your blocks and limits. Stay productive while ensuring you have time to recharge and avoid burnout!
Description
Block distractions. Stay focused. Do it together.
Impulse blocks the apps and websites that waste your time — so you can focus on what actually matters. Whether you need to study, work, or just stop scrolling, Impulse gives you real control over your screen time.
BLOCK APPS & WEBSITES
Choose the apps and sites that distract you. Block them during specific time slots or set daily usage limits. Pick your strictness level: Easy (unlock anytime), Medium (with friction), or Hard (no way out until time's up).
THREE LEVELS OF STRICTNESS
Easy: Unlock whenever you want.
Medium: Added friction to make you think twice.
Hard: Locked until time's up. No exceptions.
FOCUS MODE — NEW
Sometimes you just need to lock in. Create focus profiles — pick your apps, set a default timer, choose your difficulty — and activate them with a single tap whenever you need to concentrate. 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes. Or go unlimited. Your focus, your rules.
GROUPS — NEW
Better habits are easier together. Create a group, configure shared blocks, and invite friends or family with a simple code. Everyone gets the same rules applied to their phone. See who's keeping their streak alive and who needs a nudge. Perfect for study groups, digital detox challenges, or families who want less screen time together.
WORKS ACROSS DEVICES
Impulse is available on iPhone and as a Chrome extension. Block distractions on your phone and your browser.
PRIVATE & SECURE
No account required. No tracking. Your data stays on your device.
Download Impulse and take back your time.
