Detach

Detach is an app blocker designed for iOS 17 that restricts access to social‑media and other distracting applications. It operates without requiring a user account, allowing individuals to install and activate the blocker directly on their device. By preventing the launch of selected apps, it aims to help users lower their overall screen time.

The tool is targeted at people who want to limit their exposure to time‑consuming apps without relying on complex configurations or external services. Because it is free and works on the latest iOS version, it can be adopted by anyone seeking a straightforward way to curb digital distractions.

What distinguishes Detach is its claim of being “the app blocker you can’t override,” implying that once a block is set, the user cannot bypass it through standard device controls. This design choice emphasizes enforceability and simplicity, positioning the software as a minimal‑maintenance solution for managing personal productivity.
