- 📦WaitWhat: App Blocker version 1.2A clearer, stronger protection flow for the moments that matter
This update makes WaitWhat easier to understand, faster to set up, and stronger when you need real focus.
The redesigned Protection tab now starts with a guided setup before anything can run. You choose how long the pause before opening should be, whether extra delay should apply, and how short the opening window should stay. After setup, the screen stays focused on what matters: the active rules, what is protected, and where to adjust apps, profiles, or schedules.
Premium now includes Strict Protection for the moments when normal friction is not enough. Start a hard focus block with a timer and decide in advance how it may end early. Choose between PIN, waiting, charging only, extra delay, or no bypass until the timer ends.
Setup is smarter too. Focus profiles and templates like Deep Work, Study, Bedtime, and Weekend make it easier to pick the right protection for your day. Quick Focus is faster to start, including widget support. And the new Weekly Recap gives you a short Sunday summary of saved time, strongest days, streak, and common reasons.
The dashboard has also been simplified. Instead of showing too many info cards, WaitWhat now makes the next step clearer: set up protection, choose protected apps, start Quick Focus, or open protection settings.
In short: less guesswork, more control, and protection that fits real everyday situations.… more - 🆕WaitWhat: App Blocker released on the App Store

Review momentum
20/100
faster than 0% of Productivity apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About WaitWhat: App Blocker
