Open TikTok mid-zone. Meet a very disappointed brain.

Every blocked app opens onto Melty, mid-melt. Tap “Back to work” and your streak survives. Anything else, and it doesn't.

Questions, answered.

How does Brainmelt block apps?

It uses Apple's Screen Time framework, the same system iOS uses for its own app limits. You pick the apps, categories and websites, and iOS shields them during your zones.

What if I really need to get in?

You can always end a block early. Brainmelt isn't a prison. It just melts your streak, and Melty will remember.

Is my screen time data private?

Your usage is read through Apple's Screen Time APIs on your iPhone. We never see which apps you open or how long you spend in them.

What does it cost, and what do I need?

Brainmelt is free to download and runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

Free on the App Store. Your brain will thank you. Melty definitely will.
