About

OwnHour is an Android application designed to block apps, websites, and keywords in order to help users manage their digital attention and reduce distractions. Its primary function is to enforce limits set by the user, with varying levels of accountability, ranging from a simple nudge to requiring approval from a trusted person. The app is built to operate without gamification elements such as streaks or shaming, and it emphasizes a calm, straightforward interface. A free trial is available for new customers, and a free tier remains usable indefinitely. The app offers several core features. Users can block individual apps, entire websites, domains, specific keywords, and adult content. YouTube Safe Search can be enforced even when not actively monitored. Schedules allow users to set time-based restrictions, such as allowing an app only twenty minutes per day or keeping mornings clear until after a certain time. Focus sessions provide a gentle or strict mode: gentle sessions offer a nudge that can be bypassed, while strict sessions require the user to wait until the timer expires. Every blocked action displays a message stating what happened, whose rule was triggered, and what the user can do next, presented in a neutral tone rather than a scolding one. To prevent users from removing protections impulsively, OwnHour includes multiple guard mechanisms. The Self Challenge requires typing a strict phrase word for word before changes can be made. The Time Delay adds a waiting period before a change takes effect, allowing most urges to pass. Friend or Partner Approval requires another person to approve the modification. Family Mode allows a parent to set rules on a child’s device with clear limits and no surveillance; a 15-minute safety override is always available across all guards to prevent lockouts. The app is designed to collect minimal data, as it blocks access to private content. Typical use cases include setting daily limits on social media feeds, restricting distracting sites during work hours, keeping adult content filtered, and involving a partner or friend for added accountability. The workflow involves setting rules once, then letting the app enforce them consistently, including during late hours when willpower may be low. The Pro version unlocks unlimited schedules, extra filter categories (such as gambling and social feeds), history of reclaimed hours, family mode, guardian protection, strict sessions, and all future features on the same device. Pro pricing is approximately 3.33 USD per month when paid annually, with a free trial first; a lifetime purchase option is also available. Partners invited to hold a rule never pay. The app is available on Android via Google Play, where exact pricing, trial length, and renewal terms are displayed.
