How to really block apps on iPhone

iOS Screen Time is solid — the problem is the back door: "Ignore Limit" is one tap away, and you know the code. Zenbox uses Apple's official Family Controls and replaces the ignore button with a real path: hold your iPhone to the Zenbox in the other room.

Set up in three steps

  1. Download free Zenbox app (iOS 16.2+) and allow Screen Time access.
  2. Choose apps, categories or websites — from Instagram to Safari domains.
  3. Hold iPhone to Zenbox — lock is active. Via timer, schedule, limit or sleep mode.
