Subscription blockers charge forever — Opal runs ~$99/yr, Freedom ~$40/yr. SHIFT is one payment, yours for life.

What happens after I buy?

You download SHIFT Desktop, connect your phone once, and set the rules from your computer.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If it is not a fit, the 30-day money-back guarantee gives you room to try it honestly.

Not sure which plan fits?

Start with the number of phones you want protected. Every plan includes the same blocking tools and lifetime access.

What makes us different

SHIFT is designed to be impossible to bypass. Other blockers keep the key on your phone. SHIFT moves it out of reach.

Other blockers

  • Apple Screen TimeTap one button to ignore the limit.
  • OpalDelete or remove the app when willpower drops.
  • BrickPhysically tap to unlock whenever you want.
  • FreedomPhone-side controls still leave escape routes.
  • Most blockersNo true lock for schedules or focus sessions.

SHIFT

  • Controlled from your desktop
  • Cannot disable or uninstall while shifted
  • Create schedules and focus sessions
  • Limits cannot be ignored
  • Closes every loophole
SHIFT closes every exit. Once your phone is shifted, the blocker cannot be removed or bypassed from the phone. Schedules and focus sessions stay locked until their set end time.
I want the details

SHIFT is a desktop-controlled app blocker for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Unlike Screen Time, Opal, Brick, and other app blockers that rely on Screen Time APIs and can be bypassed or deleted from the phone, SHIFT is the only app blocker with zero workarounds.

On Android, Safe Mode normally bypasses system restrictions, but SHIFT blocks Safe Mode while its active. On iPhone, iPad, and Android, factory reset and device restore are both blocked while shifted.

Over 5,000 users have cut their daily screen time from an average of 8 hours to just 4 hours. SHIFT is a one-time $149 lifetime license with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Everything you need to know before using SHIFT.

No, all apps have been pre-filtered for usefulness and entertainment. Useful apps such as payment, navigation, notes, health, and messaging are available while shifted. Entertainment apps are unavailable while shifted.
Yes. You can schedule shifts for any length of time. During a scheduled shift, unshifting is completely blocked, even from your computer.
Every other app blocker, including Opal, Brick, and Screen Time, can be bypassed or deleted from your phone. SHIFT lives on your desktop computer, making it impossible to remove from your phone. There is no workaround.
Yes. SHIFT includes a content filter that blocks distracting websites while you are shifted, something no other app blocker offers.
Download SHIFT on your Mac or PC, connect your phone via USB, and follow the setup instructions. After the initial setup, SHIFT works wirelessly.
Yes, SHIFT works on both Android and iOS devices. On Android, blocked apps do not visibly disappear while shifted; they are simply disabled.
You can request whitelist changes directly from the SHIFT app. We review requests and update regularly.
Yes. Because SHIFT is controlled from your computer, it is ideal for parents. Your child cannot disable it, delete it, or work around it from their phone. See our dedicated page for parents.
30-day money-back guarantee. If SHIFT is not for you, we will refund you in full.
Unlike subscription blockers, SHIFT is software installed on your own computer, not a service you rent month to month. You pay once, and there is no recurring billing that can lapse or get repriced. And the 30-day money-back guarantee means you can try it with zero risk.
Text us at the number in the app for prompt support. If your computer is lost, just log in on a different one and keep going.
No. SHIFT does not read, download, transmit, or store your personal information. We do not collect personal data and therefore cannot sell it.
